Road transportation accounts for about 20% of the total GHG emissions in EU. Nowadays, substitution conventional fossil fuel-based ICEs with electric engines, or their hybridization, operating along Energy Storage Systems, seems to be most appropriate measure achieve reductions both fuel consumption and GHGs. However, EVs encounter crucial challenges, such as long charging time limited driving ...

This work reports new experimental data regarding the impact of H2 on slightly sooting methane flames (Φ–1.91) characterized by formation soot particles undergoing growth processes. study has been carried out in three atmospheric premixed with added (2% total flowrate) or substituted (10% molar comparing to CH4 fuel). The mole fraction profiles selected aliphatic and aromatic compounds (C1-C16)...

The combination of crambe (Crambe abyssinica L.) biodiesel and biogas could be a renewable energy alternative for internal combustion engines. Therefore, the emissions engine performance blends (B0, B10, B30, B50, B75, B100) were evaluated in both dual mode (biogas) normal (biodiesel). tests performed on 5-kVA generator at loads ranging from 1 to 4 kW. power generated was 17% lower than that mo...

various combustion characteristics and properties are studied while selecting a fuel for any engine. the choice of the engine and fuel are highly interrelated. vegetable oil is one obvious fuel particularly because their fuel properties are closer to diesel fuel. two important properties, the cetane number and the calorific value are similar to diesel. hence diesel engines can be operated on ve...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a clean and renewable energy resource. To date, power generation in MFCs is severely limited. In order to improve performance, a wide range of techniques have been utilised for a fundamental scientific understanding of the components and processes and also to investigate MFC performance bottlenecks. In this tutorial review, we discuss the electrochemical/el...

Even today, some types of fuel cells have been already used in practical applications such as combined heat and power generation applications and space vehicle applications. Though research and development activities are still required, the fuel cell technology is one of the most important technologies that allow us to draw the environment friendly society in the twenty-first century. This sect...
