Rapeseed oil methyl ester (RME) and (bio)ethylene are converted into biofuel with an evenly rising boiling point curve, which fulfills the strict boiling specifications prescribed by the fuel standard EN 590 for modern (petro)diesel engines. Catalyzed by a Pd/Ru system, RME undergoes isomerizing metathesis in a stream of ethylene gas, leading to a defined olefin, monoester, and diester blend. T...

In order to conduct safe and efficient flow management of motor or transformer oil, it is necessary to implement specific waste oil analysis and treatment in order to protect the environment and people’s health and safety. The study presents analysis and treatment of waste oil in the electric power distribution companies, showing some data of the MH ''ERS” ZEDP “Elektro-Bijeljina” joint-stock c...

Objective(s): Iranian researchers have enriched conventional engine oil with nanoparticles at the Institute of Petroleum Research and hope that this product can replace conventional engine oil due to the improved effects of copper nanoparticles on oils. the purpose of this study was to investigate the pathological effect of engine oil enriched with copper nanoparticles on the rat.Methods:...

The use of alternative fuels in order to reduce the environmental impacts of diesel emissions has been extensively investigated. Trends in the regional use of biomass-derived fuels, such as alcohols, biodiesel and agricultural residues as a proposed control initiative against elevated carbon monoxide levels in urban areas have expanded to a global scale. Waste cooking oil is considered as the m...

Experimental studies were conducted on an off-highway heavy duty diesel engine running on different viscosity grade engine oil, for determining the friction power in a firing engine by measuring the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) by in–cylinder pressure sensor and calculating the Indicated power and Brake power. It is known fact that hydrodynamic friction is related to the viscosity o...

Previous work in the Instrumented Oil-Field DDDAS project has enabled a new generation of data-driven, interactive and dynamically adaptive strategies for subsurface characterization and oil reservoir management. This work has led to the implementation of advanced multiphysics, multi-scale, and multi-block numerical models and an autonomic software stack for DDDAS applications. The stack implem...

Biodiesel is produced by transesterification of animal fat, vegetable oil, or waste cooking oil with alcohol. After production costs, the economic viability of biodiesel is dependent on what steps are necessary to remove impurities following synthesis and the effectiveness of quality control analysis. Solid-phase extraction offers a potentially advantageous approach in biodiesel processing appl...
