[ 1 ] - Emission Performance of a Diesel Engine Running on Biodiesel Fuel at Different Compression Ratios

In the present study emission performance of a diesel engine (Lister Petter) was evaluated at different compression ratios and engine loads with soybean methyl ester and its 25%, 50%, 75% blends with diesel fuel at constant speed 1500 rpm. Exhaust emissions included CO, CO2, HC and NOx. The compression ratio and engine load varied from 14 to 20 with an interval 1 and 25 to...

[ 2 ] - An Accurate Correlation to Estimate Saturated Molar Volume of Liquids

There are a number of techniques available to estimate saturated-liquid molar or specific volumes or densities of liquids. In this study, a new empirical correlation is presented to calculate volume of saturated liquids as a function of critical volume, reduced temperature and acentric factor. An optimization algorithm is utilized to obtain unknown parameters of this correlation by fitting them...
