the fast depletion of petroleum crude oil reserves and the serious consideration of environmental issues make the implementation of sustainable energy sources a crucial issue worldwide. biofuel derived from vegetable oils is receiving a great attention as one of the most suitable and logical alternatives of fossil fuels. therefore, the production of petroleum-like fractions from nonedible oil e...

This paper presents a simple, rapid, reliable, and validated method suited for forensic examination of gasoline in biological samples. The proposed methodology has been applied to the investigation of four fatal cases due to gasoline poisoning that occurred in Spain in 2003 and 2004. Case histories and pathological and toxicological findings are described in order to illustrate the danger of ga...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nowadays, are one of the important nanomaterials that can be produce with different methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Growing of CNTs via CVD method can be influenced by several operating parameters that can affect their quality and quantity. In this article, the effects of inlet gas mixture temperature on CNT’s local growth rate, total production, and le...

in this study, it was shown that how co2 and h2s were removed from a natural gas stream, using a nanofluid containing nanoporous graphene in diehanolamine (dea). before running the experiments, the appropriate values were chosen for the nanosheet dosage and the liquid and gas flow rates in the absorption experiments, which were performed in a laboratory scale wetted wall column. in the experime...

To study the potential effects of increased biofuel use, we evaluated six representative analyses of fuel ethanol. Studies that reported negative net energy incorrectly ignored coproducts and used some obsolete data. All studies indicated that current corn ethanol technologies are much less petroleum-intensive than gasoline but have greenhouse gas emissions similar to those of gasoline. However...

One of the most important parameter for spark ignition engines is volumetric efficiency, as it directly influences specific power output. Several definitions of this parameter are studied from a theoretical point of view, taking into consideration the use of alternative fuels. The influence of using gasoline-bioethanol blends is investigated, as well as the effect of fuelling spark ignition eng...
