TL;DR: In this article, an experiment with a direct injection diesel engine powered with Pongamia biodiesel blend was carried out and the results showed an increase in brake thermal efficiency up to 11 % and decreasing trends in hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and smoke emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of jatropha oil as a fuel for diesel engines is gaining more interest, and a comparative study on the use JOME and its blends of 20 and 50% on a volume basis with standard diesel as a source of fuel for a compression ignition engine is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a piston with a squish plate was designed and thermally analyzed to achieve higher adiabatic flame temperature than the conventional piston and the results exhibit a path toward ethyl alcohol has an effective alternative to conventional diesel engines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a modelling approach to the design optimization of SCR systems, which is concerned with ammonia slip and conversion efficiency of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and the velocity distribution and pressure drop in the SCR converter with the consideration of flow resistances of the catalyst substrates and perforated plates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of waste cooking oil has been established in a single cylinder four stroke direct injection diesel engine, fueled with waste cooking in blends of 10%, 20% and 30% blends with diesel (on a mass basis) are investigated and compared with standard diesel results.
