Nitrogen oxides (NOx) contribute to a wide range of environmental effects including the formation of acid rain and destroy ozone layer. In-cylinder high temperature flame and high oxygen concentration are the parameters which affect the NOx emissions. The EGR system is a very effective way for reducing NOx emission from a diesel engine (via reduction of these parameters), particularly at the...

The methyl esters of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their low environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine and they would not require significant modification of existing engine hardware. Methyl ester of Pongamia (PME), Jatropha (JME) and Neem (NME) are derived through transesterification process. Experimental ...

Biodiesels are gaining more importance as a promising alternative energy resource. Engine performance and emission characteristics of unmodified biodiesel fueled diesel engines are highly influenced by its ignition and combustion behavior. This review article presents the literature review on ignition delay (ID), combustion and emission characteristics of biodiesel fueled diesel engine. More th...

Nowadays, the increasing oil consumption throughout the world induces crucial economical, security, and environmental problems. As a result, intensive researches are undertaken to find appropriate substitution to fossil fuels. In view of the large amount of eucalyptus trees present in arid areas, we focus in this study on the investigation of using eucalyptus biodiesel as fuel in diesel engine....

Biodiesel, the methyl ester of vegetable oil is a renewable, low environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine. High oil prices and growing concerns over climate change are driving investment and innovation in the biofuels sector as countries and industry increasingly look towards renewable bioenergy to replace fossil fuels. This study examines fuel properties...

A fault diagnosis method based on wavelet transform and support vector machine is proposed for diesel engine. The continuous wavelet transform is used to analyze vibration signals of surface of diesel engines, and scale interval is chosen according to size of wavelet information entropy, then local energy on wavelet domain are extracted as the fault feature vector, which are eventually input in...

The main objective of this paper to discuss the research output for getting better engine performance with lower noxious emissions by improving the fuel quality. The control of diesel fuel properties as a means of Regulated pollutants continues to be charged with reaching various air quality goals. Some additives play effective role in diesel fuel for improving fuel‟s quality and minimize the p...

The analysis of soot formation and oxidation is essential for Diesel engine development to meet future pollutant emission reduction requirements. In recent years laser-induced incandescence (LII) has developed to a powerful tool for soot diagnostics in flames, even in the challenging environment of Diesel combustion. This work presents some recent applications of LII for soot particle sizing in...

Turbocharged diesel engines are now being used in every automobile by a lot of automobile manufacturing companies. A turbocharged diesel engine (TDE) equipped with variable geometry turbocharger and exchange gas recirculation is explained in detail. A linear turbocharged diesel engine model is presented and its control techniques are explained in detail. Controllers are designed using the linea...

In this study; metanol-diesel fuel, organometal MnO2 fuels were used to improve the properties of diesel fuel. Besides, the effect of methanol fuel on engine oil was also examined experimentally in a four cylinder, direct injection diesel engine running at 200 bar. Three different diesel fuels were prepared by adding 5, 10 and 15% methanol into diesel fuel. In order to prevent phase separation ...
