Engine performance of a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine fuelled with blends of Jatropha Curcas oil and stardard diesel fuel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Blends of Jatropha Curcas oil and standard diesel fuel were evaluated (without pre-heating). The engine tests for the blends were performed in a Petter single cylinder direct injection diesel engine under steady state conditions at high loads.

Deriving the Charring Rate of a Wood Fibre Insulation Board by Exposure to the ISO 834 Standard Fire

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are widely used combustible building materials, commonly applied in energy‐efficient construction for their thermal and hygric performance. The present study investigates the behaviour of the most common type of wood fibre insulation when exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire.

Thermal Characterisation of Millet to Develop Sustainable Intumescent Passive Fire Protection Systems

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intumescent paints, coatings, or sealants are a popular form of passive protection in the fire industry. However, the impact of their toxicity and constituent synthetic chemical ingredients is an important consideration for sustainability. This research experimentally studied an agricultural grain, known as millet, quantifying its unusual ...

Protocol for the Preparation of Polyphenols‐Polysaccharide Nanoparticles

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyphenols, natural compounds abundantly distributed in plants, possess potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities and hold promising potential in cardiovascular protection and the management of metabolic disorders. Nevertheless, their intrinsic instability and low bioavailability severely constrain their practical and large‐scale ...
