1. Effect of an ethanol–biodiesel–diesel blend on a common rail injection system

Author:
O. Armas; S. Martínez-Martínez; C. Mata
Source:
Fuel processing technology 2011 v.92 no.11 pp. 2145-2153
ISSN:
0378-3820
Subject:
biodiesel; diesel fuel; durability; ethanol; microstructure; scanning electron microscopes; scanning electron microscopy; silicone; sulfur; surface roughness
Abstract:
... The present work is focused on a comparative experimental study for determining the effect of fuel properties on the constructive characteristics of some pieces of a current common rail injection system used in light duty diesel vehicles. Two Bosch fuel injection systems, each composed by a high pressure injection pump Bosch (270 CDI), the common rail and a Bosch piezoelectric fuel injector, were ...

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction; ambient temperature; biodiesel; corrosion; digital images; iron; petroleum; scanning electron microscopes; scanning electron microscopy; weight loss
Abstract:
... Biodiesel is currently in regular use as an alternative fuel over conventional petroleum diesel. However, corrosion of automotive materials is one of the concerns related to biodiesel compatibility issues. In addition, auto-oxidation of biodiesel can also enhance the corrosiveness of biodiesel. The present study aims to investigate inhibition effect of ethylenediamine (EDA), n-butylamine (nBA), te ...

Fuel processing technology 2011 v.92 no.11 pp. 2185-2195
ISSN:

Subject:
biomass; carbon dioxide; coal; combustion; emissions; fluid mechanics; heat transfer; models; particle size; power plants; prediction; temperature profiles; texture; wood
Abstract:
... The practice of employing pulverised coal/biomass co-firing in power plants is gradually increasing. This is mainly because of the benefits associated in reducing the coal based CO₂ and biomass based SOₓ and NOₓ emissions. However, biomass is difficult to mill due to its fibrous texture and this results in the presence of large particles of different shapes which influence the combustion character ...

Subject:
antioxidants; biodiesel; cottonseed oil; electrical conductivity; ethanol; infrared spectroscopy; monitoring; oxidation; oxidative stability; ozone
Abstract:
... The interaction of ozone with bio-fuel has been investigated. The highly reactive gas promotes accelerated oxidation, along with changes of the electrical conductivity. The materials specific parameter is monitored by a specially designed thin-film resistor sensor, integrated within a micro-fluidic flow cell. Recordings of the ozone induced conductivity (OiC) are presented for bio-diesel samples, ...

5. Combustion of poultry-derived fuel in a coal-fired pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed combustor

Author:

Subject:
agricultural land; biomass; carbon dioxide; coal; combustion; farming systems; farms; fertilizers; fluidized beds; greenhouse gas emissions; nutrients; poultry; power generation; power plants; surface water; waste disposal; wastes
Abstract:
... Poultry farming generates large quantities of waste. The current practice is to spread this waste onto farmland as fertilizer. However, as the factory farms for poultry grow both in numbers and size, the amount of waste generated has increased significantly in recent years. In consequence, excessive application of poultry wastes on farmland is resulting in more and more nutrients entering the surf ...

Abstract:
... This paper addressed the probability of the generation of ultra-clean coal from chemical leaching of low-rank Victorian brown coal. Sequential leaching was employed to determine the modes of occurrence of the major elements in the two coals studied, including Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Al, Ti, and Si. The results indicate that, the modes of occurrence of individual metals vary greatly with brown coal samp ...

Abstract:
... The quantification of Methyldibenzothiophene isomers (MDBTs) is used in the geochemical characterization of crude oils. The relative ratio of these isomers can give useful information about the nature and the maturity of the source rock. This paper describes a novel analytical technique for the quantitative determination of MDBTs through triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). Throu ...

Abstract:
... This study investigates the gasification process step which converts a biomass derived intermediate called slurry into synthesis gas (syngas) for subsequent synthesis of fuel and chemicals. The slurry is produced by fast pyrolysis plants and is then processed in a pressurized entrained flow gasifier. The resulting syngas has to be conditioned and cleaned before it is converted in a Fischer–Tropsch ...
