Spectroscopy in Fuels

Study of the performance in dual fuels 50% gasoline -50% NG and single original fuels and comparison in part load

One of the most efficient methods to reduce emissions and fuel costs of SI engines in petrol case, is the use of combined gasoline and NG. The ability of an engine is usually expressed with maximum power and maximum torque output of full-load state, but the operating time of the engines with full-load is less than that of part-load time. Therefore, studying the performance of the engine with a ...

Recent Advances in the Characterization of Gaseous and Liquid Fuels by Vibrational Spectroscopy

Most commercial gaseous and liquid fuels are mixtures of multiple chemical compounds. In recent years, these mixtures became even more complicated when the suppliers started to admix biofuels into the petrochemical basic fuels. As the properties of such mixtures can vary with composition, there is a need for reliable analytical technologies in order to ensure stable operation of devices such as...

Fuels With a High Enthalpy of Evaporation in Si Engine

The increasing use of fuels derived from oil, deepens concern about the fact that non-fossil fuels have to be considered as the fuels of the future. Among the alternatives, hydrogen produced from the abundant sources of water, seems to be one of the best, but it suffers drawbacks with regard to combustion, storage and transportation. The other alternatives are ammonia, produced from unlimited s...

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 ...
