The rapid increase in world energy demand, the depletion of conventional energy sources and the pollution caused by conventional fuels have increased the importance of developing new and renewable energy sources. Additionally, technological developments have resulted in increased energy demand...

An important alternative for diesel fuel is methyl ester made of vegetable oils. Direct use these fuels without modification in diesel engines causes some damages on the parts of the engines and also, the viscosity of the methyl ester fuels is quite higher than that of diesel fuel (No. 2D) and...

In this study, the cylinder head, exhaust, and inlet valves of a diesel engine were coated with the ceramic material MgO–ZrO2 by the plasma spray method, while the piston surface was coated with ZrO2. Thus, a thermal barrier was provided for the elements of the combustion chamber with these...

Today, as a result of increase in oil prices, limited fossil fuel resources, environmental consideration and global warming, the methyl ester fuels have been focused on alternative fuels. Methyl ester fuels can be used more efficiently in low heat rejection engines (LHR), in which the...

In this study, the potential of wind power in the coastal areas of Turkey have been studied. Current potential of the wind energy in coastal areas and its usage in Turkey have been investigated. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the wind energy plants in coastal regions of Black...

The present paper examines two biodiesels named as fish oil methyl ester (FOME) and chicken oil methyl ester (CFME) produced from low-cost waste fish and chicken oils using the transesterification method, and their fuel properties were compared to EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 biodiesel standards....

In this study, performance and emissions of cottonseed oil methyl ester in a diesel engine was experimentally investigated. For the study, cottonseed oil methyl ester (CSOME) was added to diesel fuel, numbered D2, by volume of 5%(B5), 20%(B20), 50%(B50) and 75%(B75) as well as pure CSOME (B100)....
