in order to reduce wear in gudgeon pin, bush and piston boss lubrication is done. oil used in national engine species was 10w40 with dynamic viscosity 5.5 mpa.s at 140 °c (the working temperature). in order to complete investigation the oil film hydrodynamics analysis in small end of connecting rod, a real full model engine with four cylinders has been simulated by avl excite5.1 software. in th...

Fuel return valve is an important part of aviation engines. It achieves the cooling of integrated drive generator by regulating the amount of fuel in the oil cooler of integrated drive generator. Fault modeling and simulation of fuel return valve can provide targeted guidance for its maintenance. This paper establishes fuel return valve's mathematical model which includes the flow control valve...

A noble low NOx combustion technology, based on partial oxidation combustion concept in a fuel rich combustion zone, is successfully applied in this research. The burner is designed such that a portion of fuel is heated and pre-vaporized in the furnace then injected into a fuel rich combustion zone so that a partial oxidation reaction occurs. The effects of equivalence ratio, thermal load, and ...

Emissions from two biofuels, a soy-based biodiesel and an animal-based biodiesel, were measured and compared to emissions from a distillate petroleum fuel oil. The three fuels were burned in a small (3.5x10 Btu/hr) firetube boiler designed for use in institutional, commercial, and light industrial applications. Emissions were measured for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of ni...

A case study is presented highlighting changes in geochemical conditions induced by the anaerobic degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) that enhanced the coalescence of dissolved phase PHCs into light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL). Forensic analysis detected the presence of weathered light, middle and heavy weight PHCs in groundwater and LNAPL samples that were consistent with straigh...
