Background: We have previously reported that in utero and early life exposure to diesel exhaust particulates predisposes mice to adult heart failure, and that in utero exposure alone is sufficient to confer this predisposition. This follow up study addresses whether neonatal exposure alone can also confer this predisposition. Methods: Newborn male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to diesel exhaust (DE...

In a modern day world alternative source of energy are given importance due to gradual depletion of fossil fuels reserves vegetable oils can be used as an alternative to diesel in CI engines. The use of vegetable oils in CI engine results in low CO and HC emissions compared to conventional diesel fuel. The present study covers the various aspects of biodiesels fuel derived from cottonseed oil. ...

Existing diesel engines are under stringent emission regulation particularly of smoke and particulate matter in their exhaust. Compressed Natural Gas and Diesel dual fuel operation is regarded as one of the best ways to control emissions from diesel engines and simultaneously saving petroleum based diesel fuel. Dual fuel engine is a conventional diesel engine which burn either gaseous fuel or d...

E-fuels are a very attractive way for improving the well-to-wheel emissions of CO2 in internal combustion engines. In particular case compression ignition engines, Oxymethylene dimethyl ether (OMEX), an e-fuel with nearly soot-free under mixing-controlled conditions, is good candidate replacement fossil fuels. However, Lower Heating Value OMEX half diesel fuel, which means that much longer inje...

This paper presents atechnical and economic analysis of the proposed solar PV/diesel generator smart hybrid power plant for a part SRM IST, Delhi-NCR campus. The was performed using five battery storage technologies: lead-acid, lithium-ion, vanadium flow, zinc bromide nickel-iron. also used HOMER Pro software. conducted to assess performance parameters such as initial cost, simple payback perio...

Telecommunications industry requires efficient, reliable and cost-effective hybrid power system as alternative to the power supplied by diesel generator. This paper proposed an operational control algorithm that will be used to control and supervise the operations of PV/Wind-Diesel hybrid power generation system for GSM base station sites. The control algorithm was developed in such a way that ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the comparative acute health effects associated with exposures to diesel and 75% biodiesel/25% diesel (B75) blend fuel emissions. METHODS We analyzed multiple health endpoints in 48 healthy adults before and after exposures to diesel and B75 emissions in an underground mine setting-lung function, lung and systemic inflammation, novel biomarkers of exposure, and oxidat...

Hexanol was added in ethanol – diesel fuel to prevent separation of ethanol from diesel in this study. The ethanol blend proportion can be increased upto 45% in volume by adding the Hexanol. Engine performance and emissions characteristics of the fuel blends were investigated on a diesel engine and compared with diesel fuel. Experimental results show smoke emission decreases significantly with ...

A model predicting 12 properties of diesel – biodiesel mixtures was developed. This was based on existing correlations capable of providing quality characteristics for the mixtures. The model was also used to maximize the biodiesel fraction in the dieselbiodiesel mixtures, while taking into consideration all product quality specifications as they are defined by Greek Legislation. The properties...
