...Qiaosheng Zhang; Yongqiang Han; Kechao Zhang; Jing Tian Bio-oxygenated fuels are expected to be used as a clean alternative energy source to improve the ignition behavior and pollutant emissions of RP-3 kerosene in compression ignition engines. In this study, the spray autoignition of PR-3 blended...

...Ashwin Jacob; B. Ashok Third-generation feedstocks and its constituent biofuels have shown promising results in the light of sustainable production and as a feasible fuel source for internal combustion (IC) engines. Hence, in this study, a third-generation microalgae feedstock (Scenedesmus...

...Yuanhang Guan; Wang Liu; Dong Han Di-n-butyl ether (DBE), a promising lignocellulosic biofuel, has been suggested as a potential alternative fuel for compression ignition engines. In this study, the spray auto-ignition characteristics of diesel/DBE blends were experimentally measured on a constant...

... optimization solution as a guideline for designing near-optimal controllers. The simulation of a 48-V hybrid electric vehicle was carried out under the condition of NEDC and FTP75 cycles, and results included the torque output of engine and motor, the SOC of battery and the vehicle's fuel consumption...

...Zongyu Yue; K. Dean Edwards; C. Scott Sluders; Sibendu Som Engine knock remains one of the major barriers to further improve the thermal efficiency of spark-ignition (SI) engines. SI engine is usually operated at knock-limited spark advance (KLSA) to achieve possibly maximum efficiency with given...
