Experimental investigation of the impact of biodiesel on the combustion and emission characteristics of a heavy duty diesel engine at various altitudes

Genetic algorithm optimization applied to the fuel supply parameters of diesel engines working at plateau

“…However, too early injection leads to a too high p max (peak pressure in-cylinder) and power loss at compression stroke, while the too much injected fuel would result in over-speed or overheat for turbines. And other researchers got the similar conclusions through experiments [2] or simulations [3].With many restrictions, it took huge work to find out the best values for injection parameters at different operating conditions [4].…”

A euryhaline Nannochloropsis gaditana with potential for nutraceutical (EPA) and biodiesel production

“…The set of more than one abiotic factor resulted in different fatty acid compositions [19]. ∑SFA and ∑MUFA are considered very important for biodiesel production [26]. The 6 h:18 h and 24 h:00 h (light:dark) cycles may be considered optimal conditions for higher SFA production, as demonstrated by the PCA biplot.…”

Impact of Magnetic Tube on Pollutant Emissions from the Diesel Engine

“…Alternative fuels such as biodiesel and biodiesel-diesel blends have as also been considered (Chang et al, 2014a, b;Popovicheva et al, 2013;Mwangi et al, 2015b, c). Biodiesel can reduce some of the pollutants like PM, CO, HC and POPs, because of its higher oxygen content, it results in a more complete combustion (Raheman and Ghadge, 2007;Lin et al, 2010;Yu et al, 2014). On the other hand, the cost of production, higher viscosity and lower heating value are the main shortcomings of using biodiesel in the diesel engine (Saxena and Maurya, 2016).…”
