Investigation on performance, emission and combustion characteristics of variable compression engine fuelled with diesel, waste plastics oil blends

Abstract: Presently plastics are major contributors in solid waste which has higher thermal energy. Waste plastics can be converted into alternate fuel by pyrolysis which can replace diesel in compression ignition engines. The present study deals with the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of variable compression ratio engine fuelled with plastic oil, diesel and its blends with diethyl ether as an additive. Three blends 2.5, 7.5 and 12.5 % were tested in variable compression ratio engine. Waste plastic oil blend, pure plastic oil and diesel were considered for comparison. This study reveals that brake thermal efficiency increases for all the blends when compression ratio increases from 12 to 20. The specific fuel consumption of the blends and plastic oil were higher than the diesel. But the brake thermal efficiency for all the blends, plastic oil was comparatively lower than that of diesel. The regulated emissions of the variable compression ratio engine under varying loads and compression ratio for different blends were discussed.

Compact four-port circulator based on 2D photonic crystals with a 90° rotation of the light wave for photonic integrated circuits applications

Abstract: A four-port optical circulator based on two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystals is reported. It is simple besides the brief framework. The crystalline geometrical structure of the circulator makes 90° non-reciprocal transmissions of electromagnetic waves with low insertion loss and high levels of isolation by the diligence of magneto-optic crystals. The structure is novel because it uses a resonant cavity with a simple design. Also, in comparison to prior models, the proposed four-port circulator utilizes a two-dimensional square lattice crystal structure with a cylindrical ferrite section of the π/4 Faraday angle. The finite element method is used for this anisotropic medium to get the tensor elements in this simulation. The importance of the gyromagnetic properties of ferrite crystals for the non-reciprocal transmission is investigated. Furthermore, the corresponding S-parameters for this circulator are analyzed and reported. Due to the compact size and ease of fabrication, this device can be realized for applications such as splitting and isolation in photonic integrated circuits.

Investigations of the synthesis of the superheavy element Z = 122

Abstract: We have identified the most probable projectile-target combination by studying the fusion cross section, evaporation residue cross section, compound nucleus formation probability (${P}_{\mathrm{CN}}$), and survival probability (${P}_{\mathrm{Surv}}$) of different projectile target combinations to synthesize the superheavy element $Z=122$. The selected most probable projectile-target combinations to synthesize the superheavy element $Z=122$ are $\mathrm{Cr}+\mathrm{Cf}$, $\mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{Cm}$, $\mathrm{Se}+\mathrm{Ra}$, and $\mathrm{As}+\mathrm{Ac}$. Superheavy nuclei may decay through the different decay modes such as spontaneous fission, ternary fission, and cluster decay. We have also studied the half-lives of spontaneous fission, ternary fission, and cluster decay of the predicted nuclei for $Z=122$ and compared with that of alpha decay. This enables us to study the competition between spontaneous fission, ternary fission, cluster decay, and alpha decay in the superheavy nuclei of $Z=122$. The comparision of half lives for different decay modes reveals that alpha decay is having smaller half lives than the other studied decay modes. A detail study of branching ratio of alpha decay with respect to other decay modes also confirms that alpha decay is most dominant decay mode for the isotopes superheavy nuclei $^{307--314}122$ and hence these nuclei can be detected through the alpha decay mode only. We hope that our predictions may be guide for the future experiments in the synthesis of more isotopes of superheavy nuclei $\mathrm{Z}=122$.
