In the experimental study, biofuel is extracted from two distinct waste cooking oil of palm and sunflower oil through a transesterification process. A suitable blend B20 (WCPME 10% + WCSME 10% + Diesel 80%) is prepared by mixing diesel in biofuel. After that, using an ultrasonicator, Al 2 O 3 was mixed in B20 at the distinct proportions of 25, 50, and 100 ppm, respectively, and new ternary blends are developed: B20 + 25Al 2 O 3 , B20 + 50Al 2 O 3 , and B20 + 100Al 2 O 3 . The experiment test was performed on a CRDI engine fuelled by Diesel, B20, B20 + 25Al 2 O 3 , B20+50Al 2 O 3 , and B20 +100Al 2 O 3 samples at a steady speed of 1500 rpm and different engine loads to evaluate engine performance, combustion, and emission characteristics. The test result depicts that BTE extensively improved by 13.53% and SFC reduced by 20.93% for B20 +100Al 2 O 3 than B20 at full load. The emission characteristics, for example, CO, and HC were altogether decreased with the mixing of nanoparticles in the correlation of B20 and D100 yet there is a slight increment in NOx emissions than B20 and D100. Higher peak points in CPmax and HRRmax reached for B20 +100Al 2 O 3 because of reduced ignition delay than that of B20 and D100.

“…During the last decades, the SDEWES researchers presented a considerable number of experimental and theoretical studies that describe the new class of nanotechnology-based heat transfer fluids with augmented thermal properties  nanofluids. These studies covered the effects of gravity and variable thermal properties on nanofluid convective heat transfer [62], the life-cycle environmental implications linked to the energy efficiency improvement by a nanotechnological aerogel based panel insulation solution [63], the effect of nanoparticle-diesel fuel blends on combustion characteristics, performances and exhaust emissions of a four-stroke single-cylinder Diesel engine [64], the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a multi-cylinder diesel engine operated with nanoparticles  100% jatropha biodiesel fuel mixture [65]. Zhen et al (p. 3601 in this Special Issue) studied the thermal performance and flow resistance of nanofluids in the heat exchangers.…”

“…Hossain et al [121] investigated the utilisation of nanoadditives on the energy and combustion performance of neat jatropha biodiesel. One of the main drivers to be implemented in order to achieve the decarbonization goals may consist in the utilisation of biomass-based fuels in the transportation sector.…”

Toward an Efficient and Sustainable Use of Energy in Industries and Cities

Several countries have recently realized that the present development paradigm is not sustainable from an environmental and energy point of view. The growing awareness of the population regarding environmental issues is pushing governments worldwide more and more to promote policies aiming at limiting harmful effects of human development. In particular, the rapid increase of the global temperature, especially in the polar regions, and the management of human wastes, mainly plastic in seas, are some of the main points to be addressed by these novel policies. Several actions must be implemented in order to limit such issues. Unfortunately, the recent COP 24 Conference was not successful, but hopefully an agreement will be established in 2020 at the COP 26 Conference. The effort performed by policymakers must be mandatorily supported by the scientific community. In this framework, this paper aims at showing that countries worldwide are trying to negotiate an agreement to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, in this paper all the researchers reported can provide quantitative measures of the actions to be implemented in order to address a sustainable and efficient use of energy. Here, innovations in terms of novel efficient and environmentally friendly technologies mainly based on renewable energy sources have been also investigated. The study also highlights different sectors that have been involved for this aim, such as energy conversion systems, urban areas, mobility, sustainability, water management, social aspects, etc. In this framework, specific conferences are periodically organized in order to provide a forum for discussion regarding these topics. In this area the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conference is the most ordinary conference. The 13th Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems Conference was held in Palermo, Italy in 2018. The current Special Issue of Energies, precisely dedicated to the 13th SDEWES Conference, is based on three main topics: energy policy and energy efficiency in urban areas, energy efficiency in industry and biomass and other miscellaneous energy systems.
