using the cropping operations program can significantly save fuel consumption and energy efficiency. prediction of the accurate amount of fuel requirements for tillage operation of the soil is difficult. changes in humidity, soil type and tillage depth directly affects on the amount of fuel consumption. bulk density of agricultural soils depends on tillage methods, the value of organic matter, ...

Enhancing the aerodynamic efficiency of commercial vehicles is gaining increasing importance as it helps to reduce both overall fuel consumption as well as emissions. This paper investigates the advantages offered by a novel fuel-saving device for such vehicles. This device uses a moving surface to impart additional kinetic energy to flow near the roof surface. The additional momentum in the fl...

in the present work, the simultaneous effects of fuel injection rate and injection of air jet into the combustion chamber on exhaust emissions, combustion process and performance parameters in a direct injection diesel engine were investigated. in order to create an air jet, a design was presented in which a secondary chamber (air cell) was created inside the cylinder and was joined to the main...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

The consumption of oil fuel in Java shows that more than 70% of oil fuel is consumed in metropolitan cities, 14.2% is consumed in big cities, and 15.67% is consumed in medium cities. The variables of urban transport system powerfully influencing on oil fuel consumption are motor vehicles and roads. The influence of city typology (the number of population and) on oil fuel consumption is greater ...

In order to maintain cab comfort truck drivers have to idle their engine to obtain the required power for accessories, such as the air conditioner, heater, television, refrigerator, and lights. This idling of the engine has a major impact on its fuel consumption and exhaust emission. Idling emissions can be as high as 86.4 g/h, 16,500 g/h, 5130 g/h, 4 g/h, and 375 g/h for HC, CO2, CO, PM, and N...

greenhouse gases emissions from burning fossil fuels and the effect of these gases on climate change is one of the most important ecological and political issues. in this study the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from tillage and soybean planting were assessed in gorgan. this study is done on 13 soybean farms in 2012. information related to tillage and planting operations were p...

Global air pollution is a serious threat caused by excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation. Despite the fact that diesel fuel is a big environmental pollutant as it contains different hydrocarbons, sulphur and crude oil residues, it is yet regarded as a highly critical fuel due to its wide applications. Nowadays, biodiesel as a renewable additive is blended with diesel fuel to achie...

in recent years, reducing emissions has become an important issue. besides reducing the economic costs, reducing the fuel consumption decreases emissions, pollutant impact and increases society health as well. green vehicle routing problem are a major key to reduce hazardous effects of transportation such as air pollution, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions, noise and the like. generally, the amoun...

The ability of Pelobacter carbinolicus to oxidize electron donors with electron transfer to the anodes of microbial fuel cells was evaluated because microorganisms closely related to Pelobacter species are generally abundant on the anodes of microbial fuel cells harvesting electricity from aquatic sediments. P. carbinolicus could not produce current in a microbial fuel cell with electron donors...
