a newly developed heavy duty diesel engine in dual fuel mode of operation has been studied in detail. the main fuel would be natural gas and diesel oil as pilot injection. the importance and effects of mixture preparation and formation through ports, valves and in cylinder flow field with different swirl ratio and tumble on diesel combustion phenomena is an accepted feature which has been studi...

The present study aims at investigating the amount of exhaust gases emissions of a 4-cylinder gasoline-ignition engine. An experimental study of an ignition engine management system has been conducted for emissions optimization, using Winols specialized software. In order to achieve a steady state conditions in the experiments, the temperature of the water and engine oil before each test reache...

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....

experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (lhr) diesel engine. performance parameters and emission levels were determined at various magnitudes of brake mean effective pressure. combustion characteristics of the engine were measured with tdc (top dead centre) encoder, pressure transducer, console and special pressure-crank angle software package at peak load...

Continued legislative pressure to reduce exhaust emissions from CI (compression ignition) has resulted in the development of advanced fuel injection equipment. This advanced injection system produces higher temperatures and pressures at the injector tip, where deposit formation is initiated. In this research, an endurance test was carried out for 250 h on 2 fuel samples; DF (diesel fuel) as bas...

Background: This study aims to measure the output torque and analyze the exhaust elements of a small diesel engine that use the diesel fuel mixed with waste cooking oil to validate the driving and environmental characteristics of this fuel. Methods: The fuel used was diesel fuel mixed with 15% of waste cooking oil, a small quantity of additives and was produced with no complicated refining proc...

Aircraft noise is a complex topic which is projected to increase with the increasing number of aircraft and size of the engines. Turbine-powered aircraft produce sounds that are considered pollutants at certain decibel levels. Turbofan engines are inherently quieter than turbojet engines for a given level of thrust. The purpose of this research is to determine if current turbofan noise reductio...

Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel that can be produced from different kinds of vegetable oils. It is an oxygenated, non-toxic, sulphur-free, biodegradable, and renewable fuel and can be used in diesel engines without significant modification. However, the performance, emissions and combustion characteristics will be different for the same biodiesel used in different types of engine. In th...
