The autoignition kinetics of hydrocarbons is an important criterion for selecting fuels piston reciprocating engines, and it can be determined by relative performance to mixtures alkanes, n-heptane iso-octane, under certain standardized operating conditions. 2-methylfuran a potential biofuel candidate, whose chemistry markedly different from alkanes. Its octane behavior when blended with paraff...

An experimental study is performed to investigate the fuel impingement on cylinder walls and piston top inside a directinjection spark-ignition engine with optical access to the cylinder. Three different fuels, namely, E85, E50 and gasoline are used in this work. E85 represents a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline by volume. Experiments are performed at different load condition...

This paper explores the role of Blending Theory, as a framework, to aid in design decisions while deploying mobile experiences for heritage storytelling. Blending Theory provides a structured way of thinking about how digital and physical spaces can be brought together to create new experiences in blended spaces. In this paper we describe the development of an app that aims to enhance the visit...

In this work, the influences of ethanol and iso-butanol blended with gasoline on engine-out and post three-way catalyst (TWC) particle size distribution and number concentration were studied using a General Motors (GM) 2.0L turbocharged spark ignition direct injection (SIDI) engine. The engine was operated using the production engine control unit (ECU) with a dynamometer controlling the engine ...

The article presents a computational and experimental evaluation of the effect blended fuel on indicator values heat release characteristics diesel locomotive converted to operate according gas cycle. novelty this research is implementation method natural supply into low-pressure line with use mixing device.

A number of studies currently focus on the renewable fuels to reduce the reliance on petroleum fuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol have been studied and tested in many countries including India. This paper is aimed to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine when fuelled with methyl ester of Jatropha oil (MEJO). The ignition ...

This study evaluated the impact of using mixed oxide fuel in light- water reactors (MOX-LWRs) from viewpoint waste management. As one challenges MOX-LWR is high decay heat, reasonable option for management may be to reduce heat generation high-level radioactive (HLW) glass by blending spent MOX and UO2 fuels. Both thermal properties HLW on repository are examined. The results indicate that intr...
