In the present study, the high viscosity of the jatropha curcas oil was decreased by preheating. The effect of fuel inlet temperature on performance of diesel engine is evaluated. A single cylinder, four stroke, constant speed, air cooled, direct injection diesel engine developing a power output of 3.7 kW at 1500 rev/min typically used in agricultural sector was tested using neat jatropha oil a...

The effects of palm oil, soybean oil, and perilla oil on the lipid profiles of liyer and serurn were compared in young (1 month old) and adult (8 months old) rats fed on hypercholesterolemic d ets. In young rats, the concentration of serum cholesterol was highest in the order of palm oi] (PAO), soybean oil (SBO), and perilla oil (PEO),, whereas it was comparable among the groups of adult rats, ...

carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. the miscibility condition is determine...

In this study, a three–layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the pressure gradient in horizontal liquid–liquid separated flow. A total of 455 data points were collected from 13 data sources to develop the ANN model. Superficial velocities, viscosity ratio and density ratio of oil to water, and roughness and inner diameter of pipe were used as input parameters of ...

Carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. Depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. The miscibility condition is determine...

Indonesia has become the largest producer and exporter of crude palm oil commodities in world. Therefore, production CPO turns out to be very greedy for land. There are any problems CPO, therefore study aims develop a conceptual framework source output growth, whether driven by input or productivity implement this concept investigating growth industry Indonesia. The investigation applies firm-l...
