Traditionally, the greatest concerns associated with gasoline releases have been non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) and dissolved-phase benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). The assessment techniques commonly used by industry (API, 1996) were originally developed to meet regulatory requirements for NAPL and BTEX characterization. However, the chemical properties and subsurface behav...

Incomplete burning of the fuel and high emission in the engine were the major problems in using the petrol as a fuel. In this Experimental study, the effects of Diethyl Ether, petrol fuel blend investigated on four stroke four cylinder SI engine for analyzing the performance and combustion characteristics. The tests were performed while running the engine at speeds of 1500&1000 rpm and at four ...

Di methyl carbonate (DMC) has a lot of good properties to be used as a blend with gasoline. In order to improve the efficiency, combustion stability and emission performance of a spark ignition engine, oxygenated fuel (DMC) is added to a gasoline. In this experimental work, the effect of using 100% gasoline and gasoline-DMC blends (D5, D10, D15 and D20) on four cylinder engine performance and e...

In this study, PMS gasoline gotten from randomly selected commercial fuel stations was blended with ethanol agricultural waste and developed nanoparticles Additives (D-NA). The samples were analyzed for their physical properties using methods recommended by the American Society Testing Materials (ASTM). tests carried out on fuel's density, oxygenates, benzene content, research octane number (RO...

The increased number of automobiles in recent years has resulted in great demand for fossil fuel. This has led to the development of automobile by using alternative fuels which include gaseous fuels, biofuels and vegetables oils as fuel. Energy from biomass and more specific bio-diesel is one of the opportunities that could cover the future demand of fossil fuel shortage. Biomass in the form of...

In many environmental transport problems, organic solutes partition between immiscible phases that consist of liquid mixtures. To estimate the corresponding partition coefficients, we evaluated the efficacy of combining linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) developed for pure 1:1 systems via application of linear solvent strength theory. In this way, existing LSERs could be extended to ...
