High energy demand and environmental pollution leads to seeking of new, renewable and clean energy as biofuel and biomass. These fuels are abundant in tropical areas and agricultural-economic-based co....
In order to realize a premixed compression ignition (PCI) engine by utilization of bio-alcohol, combustion characteristics of bio-alcohol blended with gas oil were compared between ethanol and n-butan....
Storing hydrogen is one of the major problems concerning its utilization on board vehicles. Today hydrogen can be compressed and stored at 200 or 350 bar (it is foreseen that in a near future storage ....
Ethanol is regarded as the promising alternative fuel for gasoline to meet the strict low emission standard for spark ignition engines. In this study, the spray mixture formation process for different....
Combustion and exhaust gas emissions of alcohol and vegetable oil blends including a 20% ethanol + 40% 1-butanol + 40% vegetable oil blend and a 50% 1-butanol + 50% vegetable oil blend were examined i....
Natural gas is a viable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuel because it is a clean burning fuel that is available from a large domestic reserve through a mature infrastructure. The heavy dependence....
A study on the overall performance of an engine powered with hydrogen-enriched NG at stoichiometric condition, for different hydrogen shares have been described in this paper. The research has been ca....
Isobutanol-extended fuel was tested in two recreational marine vessels placed in Annapolis, MD and operated for fifty hours on the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding tributaries. Field emissions testing w....
The purpose of this study is to clarify ignition characteristics and engine performance of FAME for 4-stroke diesel engine in low compression ratios. Diesel fuel and coconut oil methyl ester (CME) wer....
With the rapid growth of biodiesel production, it is prudent to research ways to improve its operation and performance in an engine, especially concerning fuel economy and exhaust emissions. This requ....
