various combustion characteristics and properties are studied while selecting a fuel for any engine. the choice of the engine and fuel are highly interrelated. vegetable oil is one obvious fuel particularly because their fuel properties are closer to diesel fuel. two important properties, the cetane number and the calorific value are similar to diesel. hence diesel engines can be operated on ve...

Spent lube oils are continuously generated from factories, vehicles and other machineries. Most spent engine oil contains harmful substances such as heavy metals indiscriminate disposal of this causes environmental pollution. The recycling has also become important due to its economic benefits. In study, solvent extraction clay percolation techniques were used recycle oil. specific gravity, fla...

in this research, nano materials with tubular structures are added to sae 20w50 engine oil to study the rate of their effects on the properties of engine oil. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) and vanadium oxide nanotubes (vonts) has been used as two different additive materials, one of them is carbonic and the other is metallic oxides and their effect on  different parameters containing v...

in order to reduce wear in gudgeon pin, bush and piston boss lubrication is done. oil used in national engine species was 10w40 with dynamic viscosity 5.5 mpa.s at 140 °c (the working temperature). in order to complete investigation the oil film hydrodynamics analysis in small end of connecting rod, a real full model engine with four cylinders has been simulated by avl excite5.1 software. in th...

investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (lhr) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].the engine had different operating conditions...
