The widespread use of biodiesel in internal combustion engines promotes frequent lubricant drain intervals which in turn affects lubricant sustainability and engine performance. In this research two endurance tests were carried out to evaluate the novel approach of strong base oil filter with palm biodiesel (PME) fueled single-cylinder diesel engine. The effects of strong base filter on lubrica...

Experimental measurements of gas-particle partitioning and organic aerosol mass in diluted diesel and wood combustion exhaust are interpreted using a two-component absorptive-partitioning model. The model parameters are determined by fitting the experimental data. The changes in partitioning with dilution of both wood smoke and diesel exhaust can be described by two lumped compounds in roughly ...

The depletion of world petroleum reserves and the increased environmental concerns have stimulated the search for alternative sources for petroleum-based fuel, including diesel fuels. Because of the closer properties, biodiesel fuel from non-edible oil is considered as the best candidate for diesel fuel substitute in diesel engines. With increasing demand on the use of fossil fuels, stronger th...

This paper describes the literature review of effect of different nano additives on performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with different blends of biodiesel. This study is based on the previous research published articles. It was reviewed that by using nano additives with blend of biodiesel the performance characteristics were improved significantly but the exhaust e...

The main objective of this study is to improve the performance and cleaning up of diesel engine's exhaust by fumigating known quantity of methanol and methyl ethyl ketone individually using a custom made Electronic fuel injector controlled by a microprocessor. To control the emission from diesel engine and to improve performance, alternate fuel and in-cylinder control techniques are used. The e...

OBJECTIVES Air pollution particulates have been identified as having adverse effects on respiratory health. The present study was undertaken to further clarify the effects of diesel exhaust on bronchoalveolar cells and soluble components in normal healthy subjects. The study was also designed to evaluate whether a ceramic particle trap at the end of the tail pipe, from an idling engine, would r...

This paper reviews the role of toxicological studies in understanding the health effects of environmental exposures to mixtures. The approach taken is to review mixtures that have received the greatest emphasis from toxicology; major mixtures research programs; the toxicologist's view of mixtures and approaches to their study; and the complementary roles of toxicological, clinical, and epidemio...

The global focus in emulsion fuels is due to the advantages over conventional diesel fuels. It has capabilities simultaneously reduce emissions of NOx and smoke. also said fuel consumption engine by significant percentages. However, interdependency on surfactant, does not seem be possible as alternative an economic perspective. This because high market price commercial surfactant. Therefore, th...
