Effects of Air Excess Ratio on Combustion and Engine Performance in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine fuelled with Hexane and N-Heptane Fuel Mixtures [PDF]
Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2020 Homogeneous charge compression ignition engines are engines with low temperature combustion tendency and high thermal efficiency. The operating range of these engines, where there is no direct control over combustion, is limited because of knock and ...

Comparison between ethanol and hexane for oil extraction from Quercus suber L. fruits
Grasas y Aceites, 2003 The aim of this study was to (i) evaluate the feasibility of replacing n-hexane with ethanol for the extraction of oil from Quercus suber fruits and (ii) optimize, at lab scale, sample preparation and extraction time for both solvents used (n-hexane vs ...

Multilayer Graphene Synthesized by CVD Using Liquid Hexane as the Carbon Precursor [PDF]
World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics, 1(2011)157-160, 2011 We produce multilayer graphene by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method at atmospheric pressure and 1000 {\deg}C, using flexible copper substrates as catalyst and liquid hexane as the source of carbon. We designed an optical device to measure the transmittance of the carbon films; with this information we calculate that the approximate number of ...

Melting of hexane monolayers adsorbed on graphite: the role of domains and defect formation [PDF]
Langmuir Letters 25, 6596-6598 (2009), 2009 We present the first large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of hexane on graphite that completely reproduces all experimental features of the melting transition. The canonical ensemble simulations required and used the most realistic model of the system: (i) fully atomistic representation of hexane; (ii) explicit site-by-site interaction with ...

Simulations of the Chain Length Dependence of the Melting Mechanism in Short-Chained n-alkane Monolayers on Graphite [PDF]
Surface Science, vol. 600, pp. 921-932 (2006), 2005 The melting transition in solid monolayers of a series of short-chained n-alkanes, n-octane (n-C8H18), n-decane (n-C10H22), and n-dodecane (n-C12H26) physisorbed onto the graphite basal plane are studied through use of molecular dynamics simulations.

Nanoscale Liquid Crystal Lubrication Controlled by Surface Structure and Film Composition [PDF]
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018,20, 18737-18743, 2018 Liquid crystals have emerged as potential candidates for next-generation lubricants due to their tendency to exhibit long-range ordering. Here, we construct a full atomistic model of 4-cyano-4-hexylbiphenyl (6CB) nematic liquid crystal lubricants mixed with hexane and confined by mica surfaces. We explore the effect of the surface structure of mica, as

Hexane neem leaf extract more potent than ethanol extract against Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
Universa Medicina, 2014 Background Aspergillus flavus is one of the causes of aspergillosis, with a high virulence and resistance to standard antifungals, resulting in a high mortality rate. Medicinal plants are increasingly used as they are relatively safer with minimal side

Optimization of N-hexane and Methanol Solvents on Total Phenol Levels of Gnetum gnemon Peel Extract in the Production of Biopesticide [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The excessive use of chemical pesticides has led to pest resistance and the accumulation of residues. Pest resistance occurs when pests become immune to pesticides and require higher doses or stronger pesticides for control.
