Coming in our next issue of Tech Notes: Fuel Performance Predictions with VERA

Introduction: Special Issue on Tech Mining Technological Forecasting and Social Change

Introduction This special issue of Technological Forecasting and Social Change addresses the topic of “tech mining.” Tech mining strives to inform science, technology and innovation (“ST&I”) management by applying text mining to exploit searches of electronic science and technology databases [1]. It is richly informed by work in fields such as information retrieval, scientometrics and content a...

Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine with Cottonseed Oil Plus Diesel Oil Blends

aIn the present study a 4-stroke 5hp diesel engine was tested with Diesel oil plus cottonseed oil blends. The blends in different proportions (10 to 50 percent by volume) were tested at constant speed of 1500 rpm. The said engine is operated at different loads and characteristics like Brake power, Brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption etc. Engine performance for blends resulted in...

Thermal -Hidraolyc Study of Trr Core in Fuel Conversion Frome Highly Enriched Uranium to Low Enriched Uranium Fuel (RESEARCH NOTES)

The Effect of Injection Timing and Phasing on the Emission of a Gasoline Single Cylinder Engine

Performance evaluation of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) and setting different emission standards has manifested the importance of pollution reduction as well as the optimal fuel consumption of these engines. Accordingly, the Engine Management Systems (EMS) are utilized which resulted in optimizing the power alongside the decrease in pollutant emission, through preparing the appropriate air...

Experimental investigation on constant-speed diesel engine fuelled with biofuel mixtures under the effect of fuel injection

The petroleum product has seen a drastic demand in the recent past. Biofuels are the only solution to overcome this power crisis. In the view of sustainable energy development, biodiesel and its additives have become the best options for fossil fuel-based engines. In this work, a biodiesel mix was used to show the possible utilization of different biofuels. An experimental investigation was car...
