Current study represents the effect of the size and synthesis method on the cation distribution of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles and on the magnetic properties. The nanoferrites have been synthesized through sol-gel auto-combustion method using metal nitrates as precursor and citrate as fuel. In order to obtain the fine and agglomerated-free particles, we have used salt-assisted combustion react...

The reduction of pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines, and in particular greenhouse gases, must be achieved by optimizing the process choosing fuels with a low carbon impact. Heterogeneous mixture combustions such as Diesel induce difficulty managing pollutants formation even if its principle output efficiency remains favorable. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish this las...

The heterogeneous catalyst plays an important role in the production of biodiesel at industrial level. In present work, utilization wollastonite as a is attempted to explore its non-biomedical application. Wollastonite was synthesized by using auto combustion method and L-alanine used fuel for combustion. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals phase purity wollastonite. Fourier transform infrared sp...

The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of preferential diffusion on flame structure and propagation of lean-premixed hydrogen-carbon monoxide syngas-air flame at elevated pressure using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and detailed chemistry. The physical problem investigated is lean-premixed H2/CO outwardly propagating turbulent spherical flame at constant pressure of 4ba...

Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a mode of combustion in IC engines in which premixed fuel and air are ignited spontaneously. There is a belief that HCCI engines have a great potential to improve fuel consumption and reduce NOx emissions. In this study, a single zone, zero dimensional, thermo-kinetic model has been developed and a computer program with MATLAB software is use...

ZrO2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average crystalline size of ZrO2 was obtained 62 nm. Also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale ZrO2 under UV ...
