SaravananThe main objective of this study is to analyze the different ratio of emulsified fuels on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of four stroke single cylinder kirloskar TV-I direct injection compression ignition engine and compared with diesel fuel under different engine loads with constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. Four kinds of test fuels were prepared namely 80% diesel, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation Technologies for Marine Oil Spills: A Critical Review and Comparative AnalysisD. Dave, A.E. GhalyProblem statement: Anthropogenic activities pollute the oceans with oil through land run off, vessels accidents, periodic tanker discharges and bilge discharges. Oil spills are environmental disasters that impact human, plants and wild life including birds, fish and mammals. Approach: In this study, the International Guidelines for Preventing Oils Spills and Response to Disasters were reviewed and the characteristics of oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 25,601 accessesView PDFCite

Venkatraman, G. DevaradjaneProblem statement: The present work describes a theoretical investigation concerning the performance of a four strokes compression ignition engine, which is powered by alternative fuels in the form of diesel and diesel biodiesel blends. Approach: The developed simulation model used to estimate the cylinder pressure, heat release rate, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and engine out emissions. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Low Heat Rejection Diesel Engine with Ethanol as FuelP. Lawrence, P. Koshy Mathews, B. DeepanrajProblem statement: Depleting petroleum reserves on the earth and increasing concerns about the environment leads to the question for fuels which are eco-friendly safer for human beings. The objective of present work was to investigate the effect of coating on piston, cylinder head and valves of a Diesel engine on the performance and emission characteristics of exhaust gases using wet … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmission and Combustion Characteristics of Si Engine Working Under Gasoline Blended with Ethanol Oxygenated Organic CompoundsDhanapal Balaji, Periyasamy Govindarajan, Jayaraj VenkatesanProblem statement: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of using unleaded gasoline and additives blends on Spark Ignition engine (SI engine) combustion and exhaust emission. Approach: A four stroke, single cylinder SI engine was used for conducting this study. Exhaust emissions were analysed for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbon (HC) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and carbon … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStructural Dynamics of the Distribution Mechanism with Rocking Tappet with RollFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser Calautit, Dragan MarinkovicIn this study, the authors present a new method to dynamically synthesize a mechanism with rotary cam and rotated tappet with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. This type of distribution can improve the changes of gases and may decrease significantly the level of vibration, noises and emissions. As long as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2015 · 9,290 accessesView PDFCite
