Analysis of vibrations in a diesel engine produced by Jatropha biodiesel using heterogeneous catalyst

Aparna Singh et al.

Summary: This study aims to optimize vibrations in a single-cylinder variable compression ratio diesel engine driven by Jatropha biodiesel blend, resulting in a biodiesel yield of 81.6% and proposed optimum setting of engine input parameters for B30 blend. The experimental outcome reveals that B30 blend generated root mean square acceleration of 4.46 m/s(2) at above optimized conditions, with error percentage of 2.3356% and 1.3039% for B0 and B30 blend.

Generation of bio-energy after optimization and controlling fluctuations using various sludge activated microbial fuel cell

Snigdha Mandal et al.

Summary: A comparative study was conducted to investigate the effects of various parameters on power generation in an aerobic microbial fuel cell using cow manure-pretreated slurry and sewage sludge. The optimal conditions for maximum power production were determined to be an electrode depth of 7 cm, a pH of 6, and a feed ratio of 2:1 in the CM + SS system. Response surface methodology was applied to establish the relationship between the parameters and the response. The results showed that an ON/OFF controller was effective in maintaining stable power output.

Numerical study of spray combustion and soot emission of gasoline-biodiesel fuel under gasoline compression ignition-relevant conditions

Wenjun Zhong et al.

Summary: This study utilized computational fluid dynamic simulation in a constant volume chamber to investigate the spray combustion and emission behavior of a biodiesel and gasoline blend, providing insights into combustion characteristics. A reduced kinetic mechanism for the blend and a multi-step phenomenological soot model were developed to accurately capture spray characteristics and soot formation under GCI engine conditions. The study also explored the effects of ambient oxygen level and temperature on flame structure and soot formation, offering valuable information for practical applications in GCI engines.

Limin Geng et al.

Summary: The study found that adding ethanol to biodiesel improves spray characteristics and combustion performance in diesel engines. At low loads, peak cylinder pressures (PCPs) of BE blends are higher than diesel, while peak heat release rates (PHRRs) are also higher. However, at medium-high loads, PHRRs decrease and emissions decrease with increasing ethanol blending ratio.
