Exergy and economic analysis is often used to find and identify the most efficient process configuration for proton exchange membrane fuel cell from the thermo-economic point of view. This work gives an explicit account of the synergetic effect of exergetic and economic analysis of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) using methanol and methane as fuel sources. This was carried out throug...

Methanol derived from solar energy is a carbon-neutral alternative fuel for engines. The low viscosity of methanol one the problems that restrict its direct compression ignition application in Glycerol renewable resource biomass, and more than 1700 times methanol. In this study, glycerol was mixed with different volume fractions (1–50%), methanol-glycerol mixture similar to diesel prepared. The...

Start of fuel injection and fuel type are two important factors affecting engine performance and exhaust emissions in internal combustion engines. In the present study, a one-dimensional computational fluid dynamics solution with GT-Power software is used to simulate a six-cylinder diesel engine to study the performance and exhaust emissions with different injection timing and alternative fuels...
