A global concern that has arisen in the present time due to the constant depletion of the fossil fuels reservoirs and also due to the greenhouse gases emitted by use these fuels has led many researchers to find alternate sources of energy, out of which biodiesels have found a suitable place. Thus, in this effort of finding the compatibility of bio-fuels in present diesel engines, many experimen...

Since 1970, vehicle’s exhaust pollutions have received increasing attention as a source of air pollution at both local (human health concerns) and global (global warming) scales. This study mainly discusses diesel and gasoline vehicles because, today, over 90% of vehicles on the road use gasoline and diesel fuels. The major concerns of gasoline exhaust contaminants are carbon monoxide (CO), hyd...

Since its beginning, more than 117 years ago, the compression-ignition engine, or diesel engine, has grown to become a critically important part of industry and transportation. Public concerns over the health effects from diesel emissions have driven the growth of regulatory development, implementation, and technological advances in emission controls. In 2001, the United States Environmental Pr...

This present work shows a study of the effect thermal radiation in simulation turbulent, non-premixed diesel-air, hydrogen-air, kerosene-air, n-butanol, pentane-air, propane-air and methane–air used 2D geometry cylindrical combustion chamber. The numerical based on solution mass, momentum, energy chemical species conservation equations was performed for steady state condition using computation ...

More than half the European passenger fleet is diesel-powered. Although the European Union has been progressively tightening vehicle emissions for decades, new diesel cars still produce on-road nitrogen oxide emissions that far exceed the current standard. Efforts to reduce diesel emissions would likely make the cars more costly, but experts say it can—and should—be done.

Model predictive control represents one of the most promising methods, also in fast industrial applications like a Diesel engine. But especially Diesel engine control meets problems of uncertainties and disturbances, thus model-plant mismatch is omnipresent, which obviously decreases the performance of model based control. This paper compares different robust predictive control strategies appli...

BACKGROUND Particulate pollution is associated with the occurrence of asthma and allergy. The model pollutant, diesel exhaust particles, can participate with allergens in starting and exacerbating allergic airway diseases in part by production of reactive oxygen species. Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) can metabolise reactive oxygen species and detoxify xenobiotics present in diesel exhaust p...

An innovative concept called “Flexy developing at 2iE. This concept aims to produce electricity cost by smartly mix different available energy to the load profile of the region. With a higher solar irradiation and due to the fact that Diesel generator are massively used in sub Saharan rural areas, PV/Diesel hybrid syste application of this concept and a good solution to electrify this region, p...
