Biofuel is an option to reduce CO2 generated by vehicles. In this study, synthetic crude furfural from cassava stems was blended as fuel additive gasoline (Pertalite) and then induced electromagnetic field. Analysis were carried out on engine performance exhaust emissions produced Kohler engines. Variations formed samples commercial (C5H4O2), time variations of induction for 0 30 minutes. The b...

Through adding nitro-based fuel additive into diesel fuel,the influences of on engine performance, gaseous emission, particle number concentration and exhaust smoke were studied a test bench. Meanwhile, the functioning mechanism combustion characteristics through constant volume vessel. The system is composed high pressure common rail injection system, vessel, speed camera, data synchronization...

1999 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe thanks to many individuals for supporting me in my graduate studies at the University of Florida (UF) while working full-time. I extend special and sincere thanks to my advisor and committee chair, Dr. Zhuomin Zhang, for providing valuable advice in the thesis preparation and graduate studies.

In this work, a new composition of paste based on nanosized nickel oxide (NiO) for jet-based 3D printing has been developed and investigated. The optimal parameters anode with necessary viscosity NiO loading have found by using custom made laboratory printer. Experiments carried out to print two-and three-dimensional test objects the ceramic paste; modes investigated fabricate given shape size ...

Biomass gasification represents one of the most attractive solutions in rural electrification projects. It enables energy recovery from agricultural waste or forest resources areas isolated grid. The use syngas produced by spark-ignition engines offers local population a simple, available, and low-cost technology to meet their electrical needs. However, loss engine performance when fueled with ...

The paper presents unique research results on the effect of coking diesel engine injector nozzles powered by mixtures 10%, 20% and 30% biomethanol fuel compared to being supplied with pure fuel. test results, obtained from an experiment conducted in accordance ISO 15550-1 standard, show legitimacy using as additive due lower nozzles, which has a positive impact reduction pollutant emissions dur...
