Use of straight vegetable oil (SVO) directly in the engine creates several operational and durability problems such as severe engine deposits, injector coking, piston ring sticking, gum formation and ....
Vibration energy harvesters are considered as green and sustainable power supply for wireless sensor networks (WSN) used in different vehicle applications. Kinetic energy from ambient vibration is typ....
Ever increasing consumption of petroleum derived fuels has been a matter of grave concern due to rapidly depleting global reserves and alarming levels of emissions leading to global warming and climat....
Ever increasing consumption of fossil fuel and large scale deterioration of environment are mandating employment of renewable fuels. Researchers all over the world are experimenting on variety of alte....
Currently there are nearly 750 million ground vehicles in service worldwide. They are responsible for 50% of petroleum (oil) consumption and 60% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. The nu....
A simple cost analysis framework compares hydrogen and electricity as energy carriers delivering wind energy to light-duty vehicles (LDVs). We compare four wind energy pathways within a 2040-2050 time....
Sustainable development is a very complex concept involving several inter-related issues and concerns. Globalization has given a new dimension to social, economic and environmental development associa....
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (POMDME) is a new alternative fuel that can be produced from waste biomasses and tailored through the distribution of oligomers to fit into the distillation range of di....
We compare the simulated fuel economy and emissions for both conventional and hybrid class 8 heavy-duty diesel trucks operating over multiple urban and highway driving cycles. Both light and heavy fre....
