Electrical energy production by using waste exhaust energy of internal combustion diesel engines

Particulate Exhaust Analysis from Internal Combustion Engines

Nanoscience and technology have grown explosively in the last decades, because of various synthesis procedures and characterization techniques [1]. From the nineteenth century, carbon nanoparticles are one among the blooming fields of research and have been in constant limelight since then, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, making it a whole host of applications ranging from c...

Internal Combustion Engines

Catalytic converters for exhaust emission control of commercial equipment powered by internal combustion engines.

The development of PTX, monolithic catalytic exhaust purifiers, is outlined, and their first use for exhaust emissions control of commercial equipment is described. The main use of PTX converters is on forklift trucks. The purification achievable with PTX-equipped fork-lift trucks under various operational conditions is discussed, and examples from the field are given. During more than ten year...

Ethanol Internal Combustion Engines

Ethanol Internal Combustion Engines HIGHLIGHTS PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY STATUS – The use of biofuels (e.g. bio-ethanol and biodiesel) in the transport sector can save significant amounts of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Internal combustion engines (ICEs) can run on bio-ethanol manufactured from biomass or waste through biochemical processes. Agricultural feedstock such as sugar...

Transient combustion control of internal combustion engines

This thesis addresses the problem of combustion control for automotive engines. A method is proposed to complement existing controllers, which use lookup tables based on steady-state operation. During transients, the new control method adjusts fast control variables (ignition or injection time) to compensate for deviations in the cylinder initial conditions from their optimal values due to the ...
