Diluted exhaust from selected military aircraft ground-support equipment (AGE) was analyzed for particulate mass, elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC), SO4(2-), and size distributions. The experiments occurred at idle and load conditions and utilized a chassis dynamometer. The selected AGE vehicles operated on gasoline, diesel, and JP-8. These military vehicles exhibited concentrations...

nowadays, increased attention has been focused on internal combustion engine fuels. regarding environmental effects of internal combustion engines particularly as sources of pollution and depletion of fossil fuels, compressed natural gas has been introduced as an alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels in many applications. a high research octane number which allows combustion at higher compre...

--Stringent emission norms and environment degradation due to pollutants from the automotive vehicles lead us to find the suitable alternative for the petro-diesel. Among the alternatives the non-edible vegetable oil seems to be most promising one. When the vegetable oil is used as fuel in diesel engine, it does not cause any major problem if used for a short period. However in the long run it ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of NO/SO2 on the emissions of N2O from diesel engine. A direct-injection diesel engine (model NF-19SK YANMAR) one cylinder was employed to test the emission. This engine works on fourstroke cycle and was operated at 2200 rpm by 25, 50, and 75% engine load. The experiment by three level sulfur content of fuel by adding DBDS into MDO and experi...

reduction of exhaust emissions is a major research task in diesel engine development in view of increasing concerns regarding environmental protection and stringent exhaust gas regulations. simultaneousreduction of nox emissions and particulate matter is quite difficult due to the soot/nox trade-off and isoften accompanied by fuel consumption penalties. towards this aim, automotive engineers ha...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine fuelled with the blends of Mahua oil methyl ester (MOME) and diesel. The performance emission, energy, and exergy analysis has been carried out in B20 (mixture of 80% diesel by volume with 20% MOME). From energy analysis, it was observed that the fuel energy input as well as energy carried away by e...

Monitoring and analysis of high frequency acoustic emissions on marine diesel engines may indicate their condition with the aim to increase engine availability and reduce maintenance overheads for the Defence Force. An experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the application of acoustic emission (AE) sensing to the monitoring of both petrol and diesel internal combustion engine operating c...

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...
