Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Evaluation
Global concern for the environment has been increasing throughout the last decade, and “green” technologies are being emphasized all over the world. Research and development of advanced technologies for the transportation sector has been growing at a rapid pace in an effort to reduce petroleum imports and lower emissions. Developing technologies have recently been incorporated into transit buse...
متن کاملPrediction of Major Pollutants Emission in Direct-Injection Dual-Fuel Diesel And Natural-Gas Engines
The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of thes...
متن کاملDirect Injection of Natural Gas/Liquid Diesel Fuel Sprays
Dual-fuelling provides a suitable method for operating compression-ignition engines on alternative fuels. The CFD package Fluent is being used to model the direct-injection of two such fuels simultaneously into an engine. The CFD models have been initially calibrated using high-speed photographic visualisation of the jets. Different orientations and staging of the jets with respect to each othe...
متن کاملA comparative life cycle assessment of diesel and compressed natural gas powered refuse collection vehicles in a Canadian city
Consumers and organizations worldwide are searching for low-carbon alternatives to conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impact on the environment. A comprehensive technique used to estimate overall cost and environmental impact of vehicles is known as life cycle assessment (LCA). In this article, a comparative LCA of diesel and compressed ...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of automobile/fuel options.
We examine the possibilities for a "greener" car that would use less material and fuel, be less polluting, and would have a well-managed end-of-life. Light-duty vehicles are fundamental to our economy and will continue to be for the indefinite future. Any redesign to make these vehicles greener requires consumer acceptance. Consumer desires for large, powerful vehicles have been the major stumb...
