--This research is aimed to investigate experimentally the performance and exhaust emission characteristics of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine when fuelled with blends of conventional diesel fuel and ethanol, blends of rice bran methyl ester with ethanol, blends of diesel and rice bran methyl ester over the entire range of load on the engine. The experimental results showed that the highe...

the increasing production and use of fossil fuels increase the probability of soil source contamination by oil and petroleum products, and pose a hazard to life. there are over 43,000 chemical contaminated sites in canada and usa, with 2,200 of them classified as high risk. in the us, over $10 billion are spent annually on the cleanup of contaminated sites. the primary objective of this study w...

This paper applies the direct digital frequency synthesis technology (DDS) to build a controllable variable frequency and waveforms of the bio-diesel fuel phacoemulsification system. The optimal operating parameters of phacoemulsification system are studied by orthogonal experiment. In the experiment, the ultrasonic frequency, waveform, power and process time are changed to study the stability ...

Due to limited energy resources, high energy demand and constrict emission norms led the researchers to find alternative fuel for IC engines. Due to the fossil fuel crisis, the development of alternative fuel technologies has drawn more attraction to deliver the replacement of fossil fuel. Many alternative fuels have been developed and commercialized like alcohols, biodiesel, LPG, CNG etc. pyro...

In the present study, the effects of bioethanol-diesel fuelBeraid ED10 additive blends on engine performance and emissions were investigated on a four-stroke, three-cylinder, water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine with a pump injection fuel system. Low-sulphur Eurodiesel fuel, BE5 (5% bioethanol – 93% euro diesel – 2% Beraid ED10), BE10 and BE15 fuels were used in the experiments. The changes...

Experimental test are carried out on a semi-heavy duty Motorsazan MT4.244 agricultural engine at various loads in order to evaluate performance and emissions of DI diesel engine using the blends of diesel fuel with 5%, 10%,15%,20% , 30%(by volume) Castor oil and pure diesel fuel separately. The result show that maximum decreasing of PM emission is 73.2% and is observed in B15 at 50%load and the...

Fuel injection is systems for supplying high pressurize fuel to maximum mixing of fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. Direct Injection (DI) Systems as used in DI engines, in which the fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber formed in the clylinder itself. The fuel injector directly injects fuel into the direct fuel injection system. The injector is a very complicated par...

The taxation of diesel fuel varies by use. Consumers using diesel fuel on-road must pay state and federal highway taxes while diesel fuel consumed for residential heating, industrial use, farming or off-road travel do not pay taxes. Variation in the taxation of diesel fuel creates the incentive for firms and individuals to evade on-road diesel taxes. Firms evading on-road diesel taxes purchase ...
