Nowadays, the major challenge of diesel engines development is simultaneous nitrogen oxides and soot emissions reduction without the thermal efficiency drop. Hence, different combustion concepts should be investigated to reach optimum emission and performance conditions in diesel engines without expensive aftertreatment systems. This paper presents the results of a study on a dual fuel (DF) eng...

subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. the rock engineering syst...

reactivity controlled compression ignition (rcci) is a novel combustion concept which uses port fuel injection (pfi) of a low reactivity fuel and direct injection (di) of a high reactivity fuel with optimum multiple injection to provide a stratified mixture inside the combustion chamber. piston bowl design has a considerable effect on engine’s pollutant emissions specially unburned hydrocarbons...

A new approach is outlined in which group modeling techniques are used to model an individual user. This helps to reduce cold-start problems, and allows aggregating multiple criteria.

U.S. Army systems increasingly require novel methods of high density, fast charging power sources. In this study, a novel alternative to traditional batteries, catalytic microcombustors utilizing hydrocarbon fuels, are fabricated and characterized. These devices are found to be robust, easy to start up, operable over a wide range of compositions and temperatures, and able to support complete co...

Hydrogen may become a replacement for liquid fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions reductions by improving the thermal efficiency of boosted lean burn spark ignition engines. Single-zone engine combustion models are simple, but can yield useful results as step in design process developing alternative fuel systems. The single-zone thermodynamic model is advanced implementing lam...

ethanol as a renewable and alternative fuel when utilized in homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) has potential to substantially reduce nitrogen oxides (nox) and particle matter (pm) and can maintain hcci sustainability. hcci engine operation is limited between two ringing and misfire regions that too retard and advance combustion phasing highly affect hcci engine operation, performan...

Cold start is one of the main challenges in recommender systems. Solving sparsechallenge of cold start users is hard. More cold start users and items are new. Sine many general methods for recommender systems has over fittingon cold start users and items, so recommendation to new users and items is important and hard duty. In this work to overcome sparse problem, we present a new method for rec...
