*Sungkyunkwan University 300 Chunchun-dong, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, 440-746, Korea Motor control algorithm for a dual power split system is proposed for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). The dual mode power split system consists of an electric variator, MG1 and MG2, and three planetary gear sets. In order to develop the control algorithm for the best fuel economy, the dual mode PST is analyzed by ...

This study aims at developing a CFD model for large marine two-stroke dual fuel engine with gaseous direct injection high pressure. For the fuel, shock tube theory and pseud...

Considering the disadvantages of gasoline and natural gas as mono-fuel in SI engines has made the researchers to improve the performance and reduce the pollutant as the advantages of the application of dual fuel engines. On the other hand, lean-burn in engine may lead to the reduced pollutant. In the present study various mixtures of gasoline and natural gas with the gasoline as the dominant fu...

To simulate a new economical architecture for PEM fuel cell and investigate the effectiveness of the introduced structure on the performance, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is used to solve the equations for a single domain of the cell namely: the flow field, the mass conservation, the energy conservation, the species transport, and the electric/ionic fields under the assumptions of st...

Methane is a popular alternative fuel for internal combustion engines due to its availability in many forms such as methane hydrates, natural gas, biogas, compressed liquid synthetic and pipe gas. can be effectively used existing diesel dual-fuel mode with few modifications. Dual-fuel technology helps bridge conventional gaseous fuel-powered engines. The properties of methane, including higher ...

Microbially generated or supported nanocatalysts have potential applications in green chemistry and environmental application. However, precious (and base) metals biorefined from wastes may be useful for making cheap, low-grade catalysts for clean energy production. The concept of bionanomaterials for energy applications is reviewed with respect to potential fuel cell applications, bio-catalyti...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) attracts growing efforts as a kind of environmentally friendly biotechnology. In this study, the aerobic bacterium Bacillus subtilis has been utilized in a dual-chambered upflow microbial fuel cell fueled with actual domestic wastewater. The MFC system was continuously operated for 75 days. The performance of the UMFC was mainly evaluated in accordance with the COD rem...

according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...
