Pollutant Emissions in Common-rail Diesel Engines in Extraurban Cycle: Rapeseed Oils vs Diesel Fuel
Abstract The new energy strategy of EU (i.e., Directive 2009/28/EC) requires increasing the use of biofuels in transports up to at least 10% of the total fuel consumption. In the last years, the share of Diesel engines in automotive applications...

On the study of ricochet and penetration in sand, water and gelatin by spheres, 7.62 mm APM2, and 25 mm projectiles
Abstract We examine the ricochet and penetration behavior in sand, water and gelatin by steel spheres, 7.62 mm APM2 and 25 mm projectiles. A threshold impact angle (critical angle) exists beyond which ricochet cannot occur. The Autodyn simulation...

Analyzing redox balance in a synthetic yeast platform to improve utilization of brown macroalgae as feedstock
Abstract Macroalgae have high potential to be an efficient, and sustainable feedstock for the production of biofuels and other more valuable chemicals. Attempts have been made to enable the co-fermentation of alginate and mannitol by Saccharomyces...

Experimental investigation of butanol isomer combustion in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines
Abstract Longer chain alcohols, such as butanol, possess major physiochemical advantages over ethanol as bio-components for gasoline, including higher energy content, better engine compatibility, and less water solubility. In this study, two butanol ...

Optimal oxygen feeding policy to maximize the production of Maleic anhydride in unsteady state fixed bed catalytic reactors
Abstract The effect of different oxygen feeding scenarios in a fixed bed reactor for the production of Maleic anhydride (MA) is studied. Two reactor configurations were examined. In the first configuration, a cross flow reactor (CFR) with 4 discrete ...
