Natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion is a beneficial strategy for achieving high efficient and low emissions operation in compression ignition engines, especially in genset application heavy duty diesel engine at rated power. This study aims to investigate a dual fuel engine performance and emissions using premixed natural gas and early direct injection of diesel fuel. Due to the different r...

sulfur emission from coal combustion presents many environmental problems. the techniques used to reduce the amount of sulfur in coal before combustion, include physical, chemical and biological processes.biological processes based on degradation of sulfur compounds by microorganisms offer many advantages over the conventional physical and chemical processes. the processes are performed under m...

In this paper, a computational in-cylinder analysis of HCCI diesel engine was carried out using IC Engine FORTE (ANSYS 18.2) software package. The analysis used pre-defined industry standard CHEMKIN format for specifying a chemical reaction mechanism during the combustion duration. The investigation was carried out for the effects of various EGR mass percentages on the thermal and emission char...

One promising way to achieve low temperature combustion regime is the use of a large amount of cooled EGR. In this paper, the effect of injection timing on low temperature combustion process and emissions were investigated via three dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) procedures in a DI diesel engine using high EGR rates. The results show when increasing EGR from low levels to levels...

The papers and speeches presented by Dr. Essen­ high and his graduate students aroused in me a feeling of happiness as well as sadness. Happiness, because at last a scientific approach is being brought to a field in which only a few years ago this approach seemed to be an unnecessary luxury. Sadness, be­ cause after working a lifetime in the combustion of vegetable industrial remanents at a slo...

performance analysis of jet engines in various environmental conditions is important and is the first step in the design of such engines. in this paper, the performance of a typical turboprop engine was modeled in the commercial software gasturb10 and the obtained results are validated at three flight regimes take off, military and 100% normal using engine test results. performance analysis of ...

This chapter describes the methodology used in EPA’s Waste Reduction Model (WARM) to estimate streamlined life‐cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission factors for asphalt shingles beginning at the waste generation reference point. The WARM GHG emission factors are used to compare the net emissions associated with asphalt shingles in the following four waste management alternatives: source reduction...

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...

Combustion of wildland fuels represents a major source of particulate matter (PM) and light-absorbing elemental carbon (EC) on a national and global scale, but the emission factors and source profiles have not been well characterized with respect to different fuels and combustion phases. These uncertainties limit the accuracy of current emission inventories, smoke forecasts, and source apportio...

The U.S. EPA State and Local Climate Change Program is unveiling the Emission Inventory Improvement Program Volume VIII: Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions, a revised guide for states conducting greenhouse gas emission inventories. The revised guidance is accompanied, for the first time, by the State Tool for Greenhouse Gas Inventory Development, a user-friendly inventory spreadsheet tool inte...
