A detailed assessment of an incinerator based on fuel consumption and cycle time data is presented in this paper. The study was conducted at Temeke district hospital for 22 months consecutively covering 654 days of daily data collection on waste loading rate fuel consumption and cycle times. The composition for the medical waste incinerated varied between 15% and 35% for sharps waste and betwee...

here are six main classes of gaseous contaminants which are routinely described in Tautomotive exhaust (a term which will be used here to refer to both automobile and diesel exhaust). As shown in Table 1, carbon monoxide (CO) is the largest component of automobile exhaust whereas the oxides of nitrogen (NO ) constitute the main components of diesel exhaust. x Even though nitrogen oxides contrib...

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...

Regarding the power, the efficiency and the discharge questions of the low-speed diesel engine, this article studied emphatically the Miller cycle, the analysis technology for the air intake system, and the matching technology for the intake and the exhaust. On the foundation of the twin inlet structure the paper analyzed the intake swirl control area and its influence to the gas charging effic...

This report examines available information on low and ultra-low sulfur diesel and alternative fuels for heavy vehicles in terms of their emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Most of this information is from overseas, and has been used to estimate emissions for heavy vehicles using such fuels in Australia. This is done within a life-cycle framework that considers both the pre-combus...

Dual fuel diesel and natural gas heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) operate on a combination of the two fuels simultaneously. By substituting diesel for natural gas, vehicle operators can benefit from reduced fuel costs and as natural gas has a lower CO2 intensity compared to diesel, dual fuel HGVs have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the freight sector. In this study, ener...
