Fuel with the addition of water, forming fuel-water emulsions, is a potential way to reduce emission pollutants from gas turbines powered by any liquid fuel. This article analyzes available work on combustion emulsions in turbines. The literature analysis was preceded theoretical introduction emulsion, taking into account factors influencing its micro- and macroscopic properties. basic features...

Correction for ‘Single-pot template-free synthesis of a glycerol-derived C–Si–Zr mesoporous composite catalyst fuel additive production’ by Saurabh Kumar et al. , New J. Chem. 2020, 44 8254–8263, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0NJ00523A.

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. One of the methods to reduce the use of fossil fuel is blending ethanol with fossil diesel. However, an emulsifier or a co-solvent is needed to homogenize the diesel-ethanol blends. The ric...

The catalytic cracking of a fuel oil over fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst has been investigated applying different additives. Catalyst mixtures consisting of a equilibrium FCC catalyst (E-Cat) blended with ZSM-5, MCM-41 and Mordenite additives were examined at the additive levels of 25 wt.%. The catalytic performance of the matrix was studied in a fixed bed micro-activity test unit (MAT...

This study examines the possibility to provide control over ignition timing in a homogeneous charge compression engine (HCCI) using fuel additive whose molecular structure can be adapted upon exposure UV light. The molecule has greater influence on retarding than original molecule, hence time modulated expose new is referred as ‘smart fuel’. form of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD), it undergoes electr...

A widely used gasoline additive, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), has been controversial, in part because of concerns about potential inhalation health effects and more recently because of added concerns about water contamination. Although many of the issues related to MTBE have not been fully resolved, several apparent paradoxes can be discerned, including the fact that something intended t...

With worldwide petroleum resources dwindling, it is urgent to look for renewable fuels. One of major potential products from plant biomass is γ-valerolactone (GVL), which is renewable, safe to store and can be used as a liquid fuel, food additive, green solvent and an intermediate in the synthesis of many value-added chemicals. The synthesis of GVL is commonly accomplished by hydrogenation of l...

The present study aims to analyze the existing indoor environmental conditions of Firozabad City along with its impact on people’s health by going through the correlative index of indoor environment’s determinant and different diseases, faced by the people. In order to measure spatial disparities, the statistical technique, i.e. the standard score additive model (Z- score), has been applied to ...
