Experimental Investigation on Hydrous Methanol Fueled HCCI Engine Using Spark Assisted Method

The present work investigates the performance and emission characteristics of hydrous methanol fuelled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. In the present work a regular diesel engine has been modified to work as HCCI engine. Hydrous methanol is used with 15% water content in this HCCI engine and its performance and emission behavior is documented. A spark plug is used for ass...

Across-the-Board Spending Cuts Are Very Inefficient: A Proof

In many real-life situations, when there is a need for a spending cut, this cut is performed in an across-the-board way, so that each budget item is decreased by the same percentage. Such cuts are ubiquitous, they happen on all levels, from the US budget to the university budget cuts on the college and departmental levels. The main reason for the ubiquity of such cuts is that they are perceived...

Effect of Deposition Regime on Tribological Behavior of VK8Coating on 1.2344 Tool Steel Obtained by Electro Spark Method

In this study, the effect of deposition regime on the wear behavior of VK8 coating applied to 1.2344 tool steel by electro spark method (ESA) was investigated. After sample preparation, the coating with high and low regime was applied. To assess the wear behavior, the pin on disk test method according to ASTM G99-04, was used. For surveying surface morphology and cross section of the coating as...

Fabrication of Nanostructured Cu matrix Nanocomposites by High Energy Mechanical Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a sintering process that is capable of sintering hard worked powders in short times. This technique was used to fabricate bulk Cu and Cu-SiC nanocomposites. Pure Cu and mixed powders of Cu including 4 vol% of SiC nanoparticles were mechanically alloyed for 25 h and sintered at 750˚C under vacuum condition by SPS method. Microstructures of the materials were chara...
