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.

Operational and environmental barriers to centralized composting in two small Brazilian municipalities: A longitudinal study

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Municipal solid waste management in small cities faces severe logistical and financial barriers regarding organic fraction treatment. This study evaluates biological selective collection in two small Brazilian municipalities (Astorga and Sabáudia), comparing dynamics between gated communities (GC) and public thoroughfares (PT) over an annual ...

Securing Water in a Changing Climate: A Transient Solar Desalination Model for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a solar‐powered reverse osmosis (RO) system for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. Mechanistic modeling reveals a critical seasonal mismatch: during the monsoon, feed water salinity peaks (24.8 ppt) while solar irradiance drops significantly.

Experimental Investigation and ANN‐Based Prediction of CI Engine Performance Fueled With Waste Plastic Oil–Diesel Blends Containing Al2O3 Nanoparticles

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Waste plastic oil–diesel blends enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles were experimentally evaluated in a compression ignition engine under varying injection timings and modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimized WP20PD + 1000 ppm blend improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while ANN prediction achieved high ...

Multi‐Objective RSM Optimization of Emission and Performance Characteristics in a Diesel Engine Fueled With BaTiO3 Nano‐Enhanced Jojoba Biodiesel

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study uses response surface methodology to optimize Jojoba biodiesel blended with BaTiO3 nanoparticles in a single‐cylinder diesel engine. Results show that ~48.95–51.31 ppm of BaTiO3 achieves balanced performance and emission, decreasing CO and NOx while increasing torque and brake thermal efficiency.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Design Approaches for Oxygen Reduction Systems for Warehouse Storage Applications

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) are protection systems, with a design protection objective to limit fire spread beyond the point of ignition. Research has shown that the prescriptive design methods, in VdS 3527, EN 16750, and ISO 20338, are not appropriate as prescriptive design methods as they result in insufficient protection levels.
