Hydrogen and Ethanol as Potential Alternative Fuels Compared to Gasoline under Improved Exhaust Gas Recirculation

In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method have been utilized to investigate the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and initial charge pressure by means of using a supercharger on the emissions and performance of a SI engine. This engine is fueled separately by gasoline and two potential alternative fuels, hydrogen and ethanol. The results of simulation are compar...

Introducing Fructose Syrup 55% as an Alternative to High Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Products Such as Invert Sugar

Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF) is a compound that is formed as a result of heat treatment and long storage of sugar products such as invert sugar and according to codex standards its limit in foods is 40 ppm. Fructose syrup 55% is a transparent liquid with a sweet taste and has no off-flavor and has similar sweetness and functional properties to sucrose. Various studies show that due to the prod...

Alternative Fuels In Aviation

During the last years, the aviation sector has been looking into alternatives to kerosene from crude oil, to combat climate change by reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to ensure security of supply at affordable prices. The efforts are also a reaction to commitments and policy packages. Currently, a wide range of possible fuel candidates and fuel blends are discussed in the triple ...
