Evaluation of RME (rapeseed methyl ester) and mineral diesel fuels behaviour in quiescent vessel and EURO 5 engine

Allocca, Luigi; Mancaruso, Ezio; Montanaro, Alessandro; … - In: Energy 77 (2014) C, pp. 783-790

Alternative diesel fuels for internal combustion engines have grown significantly in interest in the last decade. This is due to the potential benefits in pollutant emissions and particulate matter reduction. Nevertheless at possible increase in nitrogen oxide (NOx), and almost certainly...

Load following with Small Modular Reactors (SMR): A real options analysis

Locatelli, Giorgio; Boarin, Sara; Pellegrino, Francesco; … - In: Energy 80 (2015) C, pp. 41-54

Load following is the potential for a power plant to adjust its power output as demand and price for electricity fluctuates throughout the day. In nuclear power plants, this is done by inserting control rods into the reactor pressure vessel. This operation is very inefficient as nuclear power...

Combustion performance and emission characteristics study of pine oil in a diesel engine

Vallinayagam, R.; Vedharaj, S.; Yang, W.M.; Lee, P.S.; … - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 344-351

A new type of biofuel, pine oil, is introduced in this work for the purpose of fueling diesel engine. The viscosity, boiling point and flash point of the reported oil are lower, when compared to that of diesel. Also, the calorific value of pine oil biofuel is comparable to diesel. As a result,...

Progress in detailed kinetic modeling of the combustion of oxygenated components of biofuels

Tran, Luc Sy; Sirjean, Baptiste; Glaude, Pierre-Alexandre; … - In: Energy 43 (2012) 1, pp. 4-18

Due to growing environmental concerns and diminishing petroleum reserves, a wide range of oxygenated species has been proposed as possible substitutes to fossil fuels: alcohols, methyl esters, acyclic and cyclic ethers. After a short review the major detailed kinetic models already proposed in...
