Application of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in diesel engines has always been important, especially in the field of automotive engineering. This is due to easy accessibility, better mixing quality and good combustion characteristics of the CNG fuel. In this study the application of CNG fuel along with diesel oil in a heavy duty direct-injection automotive diesel engine is experimentally investi...

Diesel fuel price is rapidly increasing burdening the agricultural production costs. Additionally, diesel contributing to a significant amount of life cycle greenhouse gases emissions. Strategically, using feedstock, such as soybean oil, will reduce fossil volatility and carbon footprint from agriculture. Although cheaper than biodiesel, use pure oil has shown damage regular engine because its ...

Fuel cell based auxiliary power units (APUs) are devices meant to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions when the vehicle engine is used for non-propulsion purposes (space conditioning/heating, refrigeration, lighting, etc.). An integrated framework has been developed in order to evaluate the trade-offs between cost effectiveness, efficiency and health & environmental impacts of fuel c...

This paper represents the prospect of mustard oil as a renewable and alternative fuel. To cope up with present load-shedding situation and to reduce the dependency on imported fuel, Bangladesh government is encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Since diesel engines have versatile uses including small irrigation pumping systems, and standby small electricity generators, use of diesel ...

Most cities in India have high air and noise pollution caused by transport vehicles, especially petrol/diesel-powered three-wheelers. An improved and electric cycle rickshaw can provide a nonpolluting and silent transport system for urban and rural areas of India. It can also provide largescale employment to millions of urban and rural poor. Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute has developed...
