Interactions of Ethanol with Friction Modifiers in Model Engine Lubricants
Lubricants, 2019 When employed as an engine fuel, ethanol can accumulate in the lubricant during use. Previous work has shown that ethanol contamination affects friction and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film formation, and also the growth and stability of anti ...

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2021 The effect of in-cylinder fuel reforming on an n-heptane homogenous charge compression ignition engine has been studied. A dedicated cylinder without a complex control system is proposed for fuel enrichment reforming, which can provide part of the power ...

EFFECT OF FUEL ADULTERATION ON ENGINE CRANKCASE DILUTION
Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2011 Excessive crankcase dilution of lubricating oil in petrol driven vehicles across Dhaka city have been reported recently. A field survey revealed that, gradual increase in the volume of lubricating oil was experienced irrespective of vehicle model, vehicle age and brand of lubricating oil used.

Large Eddy Simulation of CO 2 diluted oxy-fuel spray flames
Fuel, 2017 We report results of a computational study of oxy-fuel spray jet flames. An experimental database on flames of ethanol burning in a coflow of a O 2–CO 2 mixture, created at CORIA (Rouen, France), is used for model validation (Cléon et al., 2015). Depending on the coflow composition and velocity the flames in these experiments start at nozzle (type A ...

Continental-scale enrichment of atmospheric 14CO2 from the nuclear power industry: potential impact on the estimation of fossil fuel-derived CO2 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 The 14C-free fossil carbon added to atmospheric CO2 by combustion dilutes the atmospheric 14C/C ratio (Δ14C), potentially providing a means to verify fossil CO2 emissions calculated using economic inventories.
