The oxygen enriched combustion of diesel engines can reduce smoke emission and increase engine thermal efficiency; however it can also lead to an increase of NO emission. In this paper, experiment was conducted on a turbocharged direct injection diesel engine, and oxygen-enriched and EGR...

In this paper, the combustion behavior of municipal solid waste (MSW) is carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer under different N2/O2 and CO2/O2 atmospheres with temperature ranging from 100°C to 1000°C. TG (thermogravimetric) and DTG (derivative thermogravimetric) curves are analyzed....

The oxygen-enriched combustion of biomass micro fuel (BMF) was carried out respectively in the thermogravimetric analyzer and cyclone furnace to evaluate the effects of oxygen concentration on combustion performance. The experimental results show that with the increasing oxygen concentration,...

Though, as a renewable energy resource, alcohol fuel has many advantages in China, it is difficult for diesel engines to operate on alcohol due to its low cetane number and high latent heat of vaporization. This paper proposes an approach to its ignition problem by combining internal exhaust gas...

HeavyEq is an Indonesian company that remanufactures diesel engines for the mining industry. The company experiences delays in the remanufacturing process that lead to a sales backlog. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the root cause of, and propose a solution to, the problem. A...

Due to the depletion of petroleum products and fatal emissions from the tailpipe of diesel engines it has become a need to seek for the alternative of petroleum products for long-term use. Currently, researchers and experts have come to the conclusion that biodiesel along with higher alcohols...

Cold start is one of the most problematic combustion phases for diesel engines. During this phase, a large proportion of pollutants are produced within the cylinder due to misfiring and incomplete combustion due to the low engine temperatures. Furthermore, exhaust after-treatment devices work...

Diesel Powered engines are predominately used in transport and power generators. Due to rapid depletion of fossils fuels like diesel, there is need to find alternate resources for as a fuel for transport and power sector. The use of third generation fuels like algae seems to be a promising...

Biodiesel is one of the renewable fuels which is similar to diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel has more oxygen than diesel fuel and this leads to better combustion and thereby, decreases PM, CO, and UHC emissions. On the other hand, biodiesel has a higher viscosity and density than diesel fuel which...

The following topical collection, entitled "Air Pollution Control and Sustainable Development: Innovative Methods and Policy Implications," focuses on the intersection of innovative methods of air quality management and the pursuit of sustainable development. This topical collection brings...
