nitrogen oxides (nox) contribute to a wide range of environmental effects including the formation of acid rain and destroy ozone layer. in-cylinder high temperature flame and high oxygen concentration are the parameters which affect the nox emissions. the egr system is a very effective way for reducing nox emission from a diesel engine (via reduction of these parameters), particularly at the hi...

Oxy-fuel coal combustion with flue gas re-circulation is known to be one of the most promising methods for reducing CO2 emissions from coal combustion power plants. In the oxy-fuel system, the combustion atmosphere consists of only O2 separated from air and flue gas re-circulated from a stack. Therefore, the flue gas is dominated by CO2 without any nitrogen gas. The most attractive potential as...

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) contribute to a wide range of environmental effects including the formation of acid rain and destroy ozone layer. In-cylinder high temperature flame and high oxygen concentration are the parameters which affect the NOx emissions. The EGR system is a very effective way for reducing NOx emission from a diesel engine (via reduction of these parameters), particularly at the...

In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying t...

prove the dissolution property and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, solid dispersion methods have been extensively used and numerous approaches have been reported such as fusion, solvent evaporation, and spray-drying methods. However, these methods involve various problems. Solid dispersions prepared by fusion usually have the shortcoming of being tacky and unstable, and solv...

This article makes the argument that compression ignition combustion processes that are “flameless” with volumetric energy release, described as Low Temperature Combustion (LTC), are a thermodynamic pathway to maximizing the efficiency of reciprocating piston, internal combustion engines. The argument is built from the foundation of determining the maximum theoretical efficiency for an IC Engin...

homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) combustion is a pioneer method of combustion in which pre-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto-ignition. hcci engines can operate with most alternative fuels, especially, dimethyl ether (dme) which has been tested as a possible diesel fuel due to its simultaneously low nox and pm emissions. in this paper a sin...

Turbocharged CNG engines produce high NOx emission due to the fuel type and high combustion temperature. In this research, the effects of lean-burn and waste gate opening pressure threshold on NOx emission are studied theoretically and experimentally at WOT condition as well as 13-mode ECE-R49 test cycle. A code is developed in MATLAB environment for predicting engine NOx and the results are va...
