A comprehensive study on the methanol as an alternative fuel has been carried out. A four stroke four cylinder diesel engine was adopted to study engine power, torque, break specific fuel consumption, break thermal efficiency and exhaust temperature with the fuel of fraction methanol in diesel. In this study, the diesel engine was tested using methanol blended with diesel at certain mixing rati...

in this paper, optimal design of hybrid solar-wind- diesel energy system with battery storage for reliable load in arsoon village in ardabil is presented. the village has 35 households that mean daily energy consumption is estimated 63.4 kwh. in this design optimization is implemented, considering loss of power supply probability (lpsp) index for reliable load providing, with minimum total cons...

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the detection of excessive diesel knock using acoustic emission (AE) signals. Three different dual-fuel diesel engine operating regimes were induced into a compression-ignition (diesel) engine operating on both straight diesel fuel and two different mixtures of fumigated ethanol and diesel. The experimentally induced engine operating regime...

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) contain elemental carbon, organic compounds including Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and other trace compounds. Diesel exhaust is complex mixture of thousands of chemicals. Over forty air contaminants are recognized as toxicants, such as carcinogens. Most diesel exhaust particles have aerodynamic diameters falling within a range of 0.1 to 0.25 μm. DEP w...

The present work is focused on determining the performance and emission characteristics biodiesel in DI diesel engine. Experimental investigation of diesel engine was made with 25% (B25), 50% (B50) and 75% (B75) and 100%(B100) blending of Ziziphus jujuba oil with diesel and the results were compared with diesel. Keywords— Ziziphus jujuba, Indian jujube, Edible, Blending, direct injection (DI) d...

The automotive shredder residue (ASR) is generated as an inevitable waste after the shredding process of end-of-life vehicles. Typically, ASR ends up in a landfill absence any existing processing options. comprises rubber, wood, plastics, textile, metals, and other materials, such paint glass (10%), which can be recycled reused. Given these attributes, potential feedstock for energy production ...

Bio-diesel the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils can serve as sustainable energy resources alternative to depleting fossil fuels and has gained more importance due to its clean environmental benefits, renewability and biodegradability. The proposed paper highlights the results of experimental investigations on the scope of utilizing biodiesel manufactured from Polanga and Jatropha oils as an ...

The accurate determination of the preexisting ammonia or of the amide nitrogt.n of tobacco is rendered difficult by the volatility of nicotine which distils over more or less completely when the standard procedures for the estimation of these forms of nitrogen are employed. A number of attempts has been made to devise methods whereby corrections for the nicotine content of such distillates may ...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine fuelled with the blends of Mahua oil methyl ester (MOME) and diesel. The performance emission, energy, and exergy analysis has been carried out in B20 (mixture of 80% diesel by volume with 20% MOME). From energy analysis, it was observed that the fuel energy input as well as energy carried away by e...

The objective of this study was to test the performance of diesel engine using diesel B3 mixed with crude palm oil in ratios of 95 : 5, 90 : 10, and 85 : 15, respectively, and to compare the results with diesel B3. According to the tests, they showed that the physical properties of the mixed fuel in the ratio of 95 : 5 were closest to those of diesel B3. The performance of the diesel engine tha...
