(2018-03-22)Diesel engine combustion is heavily impacted by the chemical and physical properties of the fuel being used. Fuel composition plays a role in the in-cylinder behavior of the fuel and the emissions produced during combustion. ...
-
(2014-06-25)With increasingly stringent governmental regulations on engine emissions such as oxides of nitrogen (NO_(X)) and particulate matter (PM), there is a strong motivation to decrease the production and release of these harmful ...

Improving BSFC through Multiple Injections and Varying Cetane Number for a Medium Duty Diesel Engine (2017-04-28)Due to their relatively low carbon dioxide emissions and superior fuel efficiency performance, interest in further utilization of diesel engines for commercial and industrial use continues to grow. The concept of multiple ...

(2011-10-21)As global focus shifts towards the health and conservation of the planet, greater importance is placed upon the hazardous emissions of our fossil fuels, as well as their finite supply. These two areas remain intense topics ...
-
(2012-07-16)Biodiesel has been suggested as an alternative fuel to the petroleum diesel fuel. It beneficially reduces regulated emission gases, but increases NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide) Thus, the increase in NOx is the ...
-
(2017-05-31)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is now a ubiquitous computational tool for engine design and analysis. It is often necessary to provide well-known initial cycle conditions to commence the CFD computations. Such initial ...
