Reports from the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) show improved fuel efficiency during the past 20 years. A 4.8% decrease in average annual specific volumetric fuel consumption for the data used in theASAE Standards was shown. Using fuel consumption and power data from the NTTL reports, new equations for fuel consumption were established that predict fuel consumption for diesel engines d...

using the cropping operations program can significantly save fuel consumption and energy efficiency. prediction of the accurate amount of fuel requirements for tillage operation of the soil is difficult. changes in humidity, soil type and tillage depth directly affects on the amount of fuel consumption. bulk density of agricultural soils depends on tillage methods, the value of organic matter, ...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

The consumption of oil fuel in Java shows that more than 70% of oil fuel is consumed in metropolitan cities, 14.2% is consumed in big cities, and 15.67% is consumed in medium cities. The variables of urban transport system powerfully influencing on oil fuel consumption are motor vehicles and roads. The influence of city typology (the number of population and) on oil fuel consumption is greater ...

In order to maintain cab comfort truck drivers have to idle their engine to obtain the required power for accessories, such as the air conditioner, heater, television, refrigerator, and lights. This idling of the engine has a major impact on its fuel consumption and exhaust emission. Idling emissions can be as high as 86.4 g/h, 16,500 g/h, 5130 g/h, 4 g/h, and 375 g/h for HC, CO2, CO, PM, and N...

greenhouse gases emissions from burning fossil fuels and the effect of these gases on climate change is one of the most important ecological and political issues. in this study the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from tillage and soybean planting were assessed in gorgan. this study is done on 13 soybean farms in 2012. information related to tillage and planting operations were p...

in recent years, reducing emissions has become an important issue. besides reducing the economic costs, reducing the fuel consumption decreases emissions, pollutant impact and increases society health as well. green vehicle routing problem are a major key to reduce hazardous effects of transportation such as air pollution, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions, noise and the like. generally, the amoun...

Reducing fuel consumption is a major goal for the aviation community due to environmental concern and fuel price uncertainty. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently developing and implementing Air Traffic Management (ATM) technologies to ensure reliable operational performance that is robust to delays caused by congestion and weather. These technologies will reduce planned and u...

The environment has recently led to very severe regulations on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. I propose a scheme to minimize rate of fuel consumption for a direct fuel injection engine used by combination with a continuously variable transmission. Target values for the engine and the transmission which minimizes fuel consumption ensuring driving performance is calculated based on the n...
