Reforming the Tax System to Promote Environmental Objectives; An Application to Mauritius

Parry, Ian W.H. - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2011

Fiscal instruments are potentially among the most effective, and cost-effective, options for addressing externalities related to poor air quality, urban road congestion, and greenhouse gases. This paper takes a case study, focused on Mauritius (a pioneer in the use of green taxes) to illustrate...

Optimising the cam profile of an electronic unit pump for a heavy-duty diesel engine

Qiu, Tao; Dai, Hefei; Lei, Yan; Cao, Chunlei; Li, Xuchu - In: Energy 83 (2015) C, pp. 276-283

For a fuel system with a tangent cam or a constant-velocity cam, the peak injection pressure continues to rise as the injection duration increases, but overly high peak pressures induce mechanical loads and wear, limiting the maximum engine speed and injection quantity. To improve the...

Effect of double injection on combustion, performance and emissions of Jatropha water emulsion fueled direct-injection diesel engine

Nguyen, Kim-Bao; Dan, Tomohisa; Asano, Ichiro - In: Energy 80 (2015) C, pp. 746-755

The experimental study was carried out using a four-stroke, high speed, DI (direct-injection) diesel engine with double fuel injections. In this study, Jatropha water emulsion was made by mixing a mass ratio of 10% of water. While fixing the first injection timing, we tested the engine on JWE...
