The microemulsion is the emulsion with dimension of molecules approx. micrometre and smaller. Such microemulsion of water and diesel oil creates new quality and lets on obtainment ecological and economic of effects, as well as eliminates the disadvantageous influence common emulsions, or unprofitable effects of the injection of water to inlet system of the engine, direct to combustion chambers,...

The performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a single cylinder four stroke variable compression ratio multi fuel engine when fueled with different blends of rice bran oil methyl ester and ethanol are investigated and compared with the results of standard diesel. Bio diesel produced from Rice bran oil by transesterification process has been used in this study. Experiment has been ...

We demonstrate the generation of an engine test model using Genetic Programming. In particular, a two-phase modeling process is proposed to handle the high-dimensionality and sparseness natures of the engine test data. The resulting model gives high accuracy prediction on training data. It is also very good in predicting low range data values. However, at least partly due to limitations of the ...

Energy conservation is important for most of the developing countries, including rest of the world. The rapid depletion in world petroleum reserves and uncertainty in petroleum supply due to political and economical reasons, as well as the sharp escalations in the petroleum prices have stimulated the search for alternatives to petroleum fuels. The situation is very grave in developing countries...

In this study, mustard biodiesel (B100) was produced from low quality crude mustard oil and tested in a four-cylinder, direct-injection, diesel engine to investigate the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of the engine at different engine speeds and full load conditions. Biodiesel and its blends showed increased peak cylinder pressure and reduced ignition delay when compared t...
