Assessment of the effects of microwave‐produced biodiesel blends on electric generator performance and emissions

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.

Reuse of Pressurized Air in Ship Air-Lubrication Systems A Conceptual Improvement for Energy-Efficient Drag Reduction

Air-lubrication systems (ALS) reduce ship resistance by injecting compressed air beneath the hull to form a thin layer of bubbles between the hull surface and the surrounding water. Although these systems can reduce fuel consumption by approximately 5–10%, they require substantial compressor power, typically ranging from 500 to 2000 kW for large cargo ...
