This article makes the argument that compression ignition combustion processes that are “flameless” with volumetric energy release, described as Low Temperature Combustion (LTC), are a thermodynamic pathway to maximizing the efficiency of reciprocating piston, internal combustion engines. The argument is built from the foundation of determining the maximum theoretical efficiency for an IC Engin...

In the present work, pure and Cr-doped MoO3 microrods were successfully prepared through sol gel auto combustion method. The phase evaluation microstructural, dielectric, optical properties of synthesized samples investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), an impedance analyzer (1 MHz–3 GHz). All showed hexagonal struc...

This work focuses on the microstructure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of CoFe$_2$O$_4$ (CFO) nanoparticles elaborated by sol-gel auto combustion method. The XRD investigation indicates that CFO is crystallized in a cubic spinel structure SEM micrograph shows fine quasi-spherical with an average grain sizes 160 nm. temperature dependence Raman spectra reveals ferromagnetic to pa...

Abstract The demand for clean water free of pollution has become an urgent priority humanity. Gd 2 Zr O 7 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via sol–gel auto combustion as a type pyrochlore to be used in the dye phytoremediation using Fenton-like approach. have been prepared auto-combustion strategy. annealing process was performed furnace at 1100 °C h form defect-fluorite structured w...

Combustion in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is controlled auto ignition of well-mixed fuel, air and residual gas. Since onset of HCCI combustion depends on the auto ignition of fuel/air mixture, there is no direct control on the start of combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable rather easily especially at lower and higher engine load. Charge strati...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of pH on the synthesis of nanocrystallines cobalt ferrite by combination of sol- gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation methods. Two different fuels, urea and thiourea, along with metal nitrates (oxidant) were used to prepare CoFe2O4 powders. The morphology of the resulting powders was investigated. The powders wer...
