Hydrous ethanol vs. gasoline-ethanol blend: Engine performance and emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the performance and emissions of a production 1.0-l, eight-valve, and four-stroke engine fuelled by hydrous ethanol (6.8% water content in ethanol) or 78% gasoline-22% ethanol blend were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compression ratio effects on an ethanol/gasoline fuelled engine performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of compression ratio on the performance of a spark ignition engine fuelled by a blend of 78% gasoline-22% ethanol (E22) or hydrous ethanol(E100) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using engine exhaust gas as energy source for an absorption refrigeration system
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system using the exhaust of an internal combustion engine as energy source is presented, and the exhaust gas energy availability and the impact of the absorption system on engine performance, exhaust emissions, and power economy are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of replacement of engine powered vehicles by electric vehicles on energy consumption and CO 2 emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the AVL Cruise software was used to simulate two vehicles, one electric and the other engine-powered, both operating under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), in order to calculate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, fuel consumption and energy efficiency.
