“…They include research on cutting mechanisms [19,20,21] ovation in engines -mostly regarding combustion engines [22,23]. There are alternative types of fuel [14,[24][25][26][27][28], innovative injection systems [17] and exhaust after treatment systems. The third group is adaptation systems increasing adaptation of the engine's operating parameters to the demand for active operation [15].…”

Wood choppers shredding branches equipped with low power drive units (up to 10 kW) are characterized by low technical sophistication. Their work translates into the consumption of non-renewable energy sources and the emission of toxic exhaust compounds into the environment. There are innovative technical solutions that allow you to increase the efficiency of chopping machines while reducing environmental impact. Such systems improve the adaptation of chopping machines working conditions to the demand for the branch cutting process. The article characterizes the innovative speed control system of machines loaded periodically variable. The fuel consumption model was presented and referred to the pilot fuel consumption results of a prototype equipped with an adaptive system. Benefits and development directions of the tested systems have been demonstrated.

“…Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) is considered to become an alternative energy source to fossil fuels due to their superior performance. [3,4] Studies have shown that the combustion of biodiesel (100 %) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which makes biodiesel suitable for the current ecosystem. [5] Biodiesel which is produced from rapeseed oil and methanol reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 78 % compared with fossil diesel.…”

The chitosan doped polyvinyl alcohol film are prepared by blending heating method. The prepared membrane is characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and universal testing machine. The surface of the cast membranes is generally flat, and the pervaporation process would cause the membrane to have a wrinkled shape. These membranes can be used for pervaporation to separate methanol/biodiesel mixtures. This paper studies the effects of different chitosan additions, feed temperature and feed concentration on membrane performance. When the chitosan doping amount is 30 % by mass of polyvinyl alcohol at 40°C, the maximum flux reaches 569.212 g m À 2 h À 1 . At the same time, the separation factor increases as the methanol concentration in the liquid decreases. When the methanol mass fraction is 10 %, the separation factor can reach 116.717.

Fuel consumption measurement itself is a demanding process and it is difficult to determine the exact consumption of a vehicle. Fuel consumption can be determined in various ways. One way to determine consumption is through driving tests. We know several types of driving tests. Nowadays, most vehicles and all new vehicles can provide a wealth of data to the driver directly during vehicle operation. One of them is the data on the consumption of the vehicle also through the on-board computer located in the vehicle. The information provided to the driver may not reflect reality. In most cases, they are inaccurate and do not correspond to reality. Therefore, the subject of the research will be to verify the accuracy of the provided data on vehicle consumption by the on-board computer. The aim of the research will be to determine the extent to which consumption data are true. Vehicle consumption, as well as measurements are performed on one vehicle in every day traffic. This will ensure that it is possible to compare the measured data with each other.
