Abstract Researchers and stakeholders have shown interest in heterogeneous composite biodiesel (HCB) due to its enhanced fuel properties environmental friendliness (EF). The lack of high viscosity datasets for parent hybrid oils has hindered their commercialisation. Reliable models are lacking optimise the transesterification parameters developing HCB, scarcity predictive affected climate researchers experts. In this study, basic were analysed, developed yield HCB kinematic (KV)...
Mechanical properties of ukam, banana, sisal, coconut, hemp and E-glass fibre reinforced laminates were evaluated to assess the possibility using it as new material in engineering applications.Samples fabricated by hand lay-up process (30:70 matrix ratio weight) INSTRON testing system.The mechanical tested showed that glass laminate has maximum tensile strength 63 MPa, bending 0.5 compressive 37.75 MPa impact 17.82 J/m 2 .The ukam plant 16.25 9.8J/m among natural fibres; sisal 42 0.0036...
The attributes of renewability and environmental friendliness have made ethanol a preferable alternative to methanol in the production biodiesel from lipid feedstocks. For first time, this study adopted Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model coconut oil ethyl ester (CNOEE) yield. Transesterification parameters such as reaction temperature ethanol/coconut molar ratio catalyst dosage were varied. Maximum CNOEE yield 96.70% was attained at 73 °C temperature,...
Currently, many countries are promoting B100 as the main fuel for diesel engines towards transition to 100% renewable energy applications. However, due its properties, has both advantages and disadvantages replace oil. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was carried out evaluate performance emissions of engine with being tested on multi-cylinder cars. Unfortunately, only 12 127 selected articles eligible be reviewed in detail none them discusses all key which include Brake Thermal Efficiency...
The evaluations of Energy and Exergy are very useful for enhancing the performance diminishing irreversibility solar thermal collectors respectively. prime objective present investigation is to sort out a detailed article survey on energy exergy evaluation different collectors. impacts heat transfer enhancers geometrical parameters collector's receiver tube efficiency have been introduced examined. Moreover, similar examination has done choose best greatest effectiveness with negligible...
The utilization of non-renewable energy sources leads to long-standing unfavorable consequences on human health and environmental issues. Ever growing demand use diesel engines in various fields cause the emission exhaust gases like NOx CO that lead serious pollution hazards global warming, respiratory problems. Hence, it has a necessity reduction fuel addition suitable biodiesel. Mahua biodiesel blend also been considered safe renewable for conventional engines. This is due its desirable...
Among the modern computational techniques, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are preferred because of their ability to deal with non-linear modelling complex stochastic dataset. Nondeterministic models involve some complexities while solving real-life problems but would always produce better outcomes. For first time, this study utilized ANN ANFIS for tobacco seed oil methyl ester (TSOME) production from underutilized seeds in tropics. The...
Abstract This investigation deals with the usage of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles orange peel biodiesel in a conventional CI engine. The different fuel blends used for this experiment are 10% + diesel 80% ethanol 5% surfactant GO 50 ppm (B10), 20% 70% (B20), 50% 40% (B50) and B100. addition has dual benefits improving vaporization reduction oxides nitrogen (NOx) emission. Span80 Tween80 were chosen as surfactants based on hydrophilic‐lipophilic balance numbers. It is useful homogeneity...
Abstract Currently, monoglycerides (MG) are produced using a complicated energy-intensive technology that contributes negatively toward greenhouse gas mitigation. This work suggests cleaner and simpler one-step enzymatic production of α -monolaurin in an inert membrane reactor, where the reaction enzyme separation conducted simultaneously one unit. Candida antarctica lipase (Lipozyme 435) was used to catalyze esterification between lauric acid glycerin solvent-free system under mild...
It is precarious to scrutinize the impacts of operational parameters on corrosion when choosing materials for green diesel and automotive industries. This was original study showcase an optimization stratagem abating rates (CRs) parts (APs) explicitly copper brass in a biodiesel environment, adopting novel Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS).To model CRs, RSM ANFIS were utilized. The mechanical properties APs inspected, their hardness number...
Biodiesel has recently received increasing attention because of many advantages such as higher cetane number and flash point compared to diesel fuel. However, corrosion engine parts exposed biodiesel or biodiesel-diesel fuel blends is still a critical challenge in the industry. In existing literature, there lack systematic studies including process light alloy changes mechanical properties (such brass) after exposure biodiesel. Therefore, this study, (1) waste sunflower oil (WSOB, B100) was...
