Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Pollutant Diesel Fuels on Neurobehavioral Performance among Workers in Locomotive DepotAnuar Ithnin, Radiah Abu Hasan Shaari, Mazrura Sahani et al.Problem statement: Diesel fuel contains various combinations of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene and toluene which can cause health problems in major exposure of that pollutant in locomotive depots. Studies were conducted to evaluate the exposure towards diesel fuel pollutant and the effect on neurobehavioral performances among workers in locomotive depots. Approach: Method used was questionnaire form and neurobehavioral … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene Film by UV Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa D5Olusola Adeoye Oluwole, Temitayo Omotunde Olowomofe, Ikeoluwa Gloria OlaniyanLow-density polyethylene (LDPE) constitutes 60% of total plastic production, and non-degradable polyethylene carry bags are the most common type of solid waste found. Their recalcitrance in the environment is thus a major concern for environmentalists. This study investigated the potential of Ultraviolet (UV) induced mutation in enhancing biodegradation of LDPE films by two diesel degrading bacteria, Alcaligenes faecalis D4 and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling of the Turbulence Combustion Biodiesel in a Compression Ignition Engine: Theoretical FrameworkFrancis Mouzong Bongne, Zacharie Merlin Ayissi et al.The present work proposes a new model for biodiesel combustion in an internal combustion engine. This model first includes the balance equations of gas dynamics with heat release. Secondly, a model with special properties that take into account turbulence effects is incorporated. The chemical models implemented in this study are for a biofuel used at less than 100% and for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2024 · 5,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bio-Fuel Blends and Fuel Injection Pressure on Diesel Engine Emission for Sustainable EnvironmentKandasamy Muralidharan, Palanisamy GovindarajanProblem statement: Diesel engine emits more pollutants to atmosphere causing air pollution. This necessitates the search of a renewable alternate fuel which is environment friendly. The objective of this research was to investigate the environmental aspects of pongamia bio-fuel in a single cylinder diesel engine with the influence of fuel injection pressure. Approach: Bio-fuel was prepared from non-edible Pongamia pinnata … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Excess Oxygen to Mixture on the Gasses Emissions of a Gasoline EngineWaleed MomaniProblem statement: The effects of excess feeding oxygen to the fuel-air mixture on the exhausts gasses emissions concentrations are investigated here. It is known that spark-ignition and diesel engines are considered as major sources of urban air pollution; such pollutants are CO2, CO, HC. Hence, many techniques have been used to decrease such emissions such as: Catalytic converters, oxidizers, traps … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiesel Engine Convert to Port Injection CNG Engine Using Gaseous Injector Nozzle Multi Holes Geometries Improvement: A ReviewSemin, Abdul Rahim Ismail, Rosli Abu BakarThe objective of this study was to review the previous research in the development of gaseous fuel injector for port injection CNG engine converted from diesel engine. Problem statement: The regular development of internal combustion engines change direction to answer the two most important problems determining the development trends of engines technology and in particular, their combustion systems. They were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Pollution Assessment of Different Diesel Injector Location Of Direct-Injection Diesel Engines: Theoretical StudyEyad S. M. Abu-Nameh, Jehad A. A. YaminAn Analytical investigation on the effect of injector location of a four-stroke DI diesel engine on its pollutants’ emissions was carried out under different injector locations ranging from central to peripheral at different engine speeds ranging from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm. The simulation results clearly indicated the advantages and disadvantages of the central location over the peripheral one. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,467 accessesView PDFCite
