The small radiant heaters that burn hydrocarbon fuels propane, butane, methane/natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon fuels are used widely because of their simple design, their portability, and the ready availability of fuels. The open flame heater presents obvious disadvantages as follows. An upset heater is a grave fire risk where the surroundings are flammable and this restricts usage in, for e...

Introduction Conclusions References

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the detection of excessive diesel knock using acoustic emission (AE) signals. Three different dual-fuel diesel engine operating regimes were induced into a compression-ignition (diesel) engine operating on both straight diesel fuel and two different mixtures of fumigated ethanol and diesel. The experimentally induced engine operating regime...

In view of improved control of the combustion process in e.g. industrial glass furnaces, accurate in-situ COgas sensors are required. With help of reliable in-situ gas sensors, burner control can be optimised. By better burner control, NOx emissions can be reduced and the radiative heat transfer from combustion chamber to the glass melt and thus the energy efficiency of glass furnaces can be im...

teams (" tech teams ") whose mission is to accelerate the development of pre‐competitive and innovative technologies to enable a full range of efficient and clean advanced light‐duty vehicles, as well as related energy infrastructure.

Recently electric vehicles are becoming popular as an alternative of conventional fossil fuel vehicles. Conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle uses fossil fuel which contributing a major part of overall carbon emission in the environment. Carbon and other green house gas emission are responsible for global warming and resulting climate change. It becomes vital to evaluate perform...

At present, it is highly required from the automobile sector to develop clean technologies with lower fuel consumption for ambient air quality improvement, green house gas reduction and energy security. Furthermore, due to continuously stringent emission legislation and the fast depletion of the primary energy resources, the development of new highly efficient and environment friendly combustio...
