Rapid depletion of fossil fuels, increasing fossil-fuel price, carbon price, and the quest of low carbon fuel for cleaner environment – these are the reason researchers are looking for alternatives of fossil fuels. Renewable, non-flammable, biodegradable, and non-toxic are some reasons that are making biodiesel as a suitable candidate to replace fossil-fuel in near future. In recent years, in m...

A number of studies currently focus on the renewable fuels to reduce the reliance on petroleum fuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol have been studied and tested in many countries including India. This paper is aimed to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine when fuelled with methyl ester of Jatropha oil (MEJO). The ignition ...

regarding to the escalating trend of environmental pollutions, especially air pollution in great city of tehran, the perspective and study of the conditions for supply and consumption trends of fuels, with specific to fossil fuels, can lead to formation of significant figures and data. on the other hand, recognition, and if possible, reformation of environmental management schemes in the supply...

This paper investigates impact of magnetite dispersed in butanol and added to two varied blends palm biodiesel diesel (B20 B30). The developed fuel samples were characterized tested on single cylinder Yanmar engine (L70N) observe behavior for emissions performance. Results are compared with reference fuels: YF50 contains 50 ppm B20 Bn10Y90 10% 90% B20. Addition depletes levels improve performan...

Hybrid excavator control strategy based on rules optimizes the specific fuel consumption only to determine engine operating point in the perspective of qualitative analysis, it is not sufficient to reduce the excavator fuel consumption because of ignoring the affect of engine power output. In this paper, an instantaneous minimum fuel consumption control strategy for hybrid power-train is propos...

Ethyl levulinate (EL) can be produced from bio-based levulinic acid (LA) and ethanol. Experimental investigations were conducted to evaluate and compare the performances and exhaust emission levels of ethyl levulinate as an additive to conventional diesel fuel, with EL percentages of 5%, 10%, 15% (with 2% n-butanol), and 20% (with 5% n-butanol), in a horizontal single-cylinder four stroke diese...

Bio-diesel the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils can serve as sustainable energy resources alternative to depleting fossil fuels and has gained more importance due to its clean environmental benefits, renewability and biodegradability. The proposed paper highlights the results of experimental investigations on the scope of utilizing biodiesel manufactured from Polanga and Jatropha oils as an ...

As non-renewable conventional fossil fuel sources are depleting day by day, researchers continually finding new ways of producing and utilizing alternative, renewable, reliable fuels. Due to technologies, the environment has been degraded seriously, which profoundly impacts life on earth. To reduce emissions caused running compression ignition engines, waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel is one b...

To meet energy demand as well emission regulations of today’s world moved the researchers towards use alternative fuels such alcohols, biofuels in CI engine. Present work is to examine performance and characteristics fumigated butanol on a duel fuel mode HCCI Experiments were performed for n-butanol fumigation (nBF) at constant speed 1500rpm with fixed mass flow rate under varying engine loads ...
