TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional transient electro-thermal model has been implemented based on a finite volume method to model the time-dependent, thermal behavior of a Li-ion polymer cell.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation has been carried out using hydrogen in the dual fuel mode in a Diesel engine system, where hydrogen fuel was injected into the intake port while Diesel was injected directly inside the combustion chamber during the compression stroke.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of biodiesel molecular weight, structure (Cis & Trans), and the number of double bonds on the diesel engine operation characteristics was investigated, and the results showed that Linseed oil methyl ester with high linolenic (unsaturated fatty acid ester) does not suit best for diesel engine due to high oxides of nitrogen emission and low thermal efficiency.
Abstract: Several research works have been carried out on biodiesel combustion, performance and emissions till today. But very few studies have been made about the chemistry of biodiesel that affects the diesel engine operation. Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oil or animal fats, which comprises of several fatty acids with different chain length and bonding. The present work focuses on the effect of biodiesel molecular weight, structure (Cis & Trans), and the number of double bonds on the diesel engine operation characteristics. Three types of biodiesel with different molecular weight and number of double bond were selected for the experimental studies. The biodiesels were prepared and analyzed for fuel properties according to the standards. A constant speed diesel engine, which develops 4.4 kW of power, was run with biodiesels and its performance was compared with diesel fuel. The results show that Linseed oil methyl ester with high linolenic (unsaturated fatty acid ester) does not suit best for diesel engine due to high oxides of nitrogen emission and low thermal efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, Mahua oil was transesterified using methanol in the presence of alkali catalyst and was used to study the performance and emission characteristics of the biodiesel.
Abstract: Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester, which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil by transesterification. One of the popularly used biodiesel in India is Mahua oil (Madhuca Indica). In the present investigation Mahua oil was transesterified using methanol in the presence of alkali catalyst and was used to study the performance and emission characteristics. The biodiesel was tested on a single cylinder, four stroke compression ignition engine. Engine performance tests showed that power loss was around 13% combined with 20% increase in fuel consumption with Mahua oil methyl ester at full load. Emissions such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon were lesser for Mahua ester compared to diesel by 26% and 20% respectively. Oxides of nitrogen were lesser by 4% for the ester compared to diesel.
