Detection of adulteration in the petroleum fuels (gasoline and diesel) is challenging because
the adulterants usually include those compounds which are already present in these fuels …

Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of oil resources have
led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. On the other …

The pyrolysis of waste automotive engine oil was investigated using microwave energy as
the heat source, and the yield and characteristics of the pyrolysis oils (ie elemental analysis …

The objective of this research was to examine the optimization of performance and exhaust
emission of a single-cylinder diesel engine in terms of blending diesel-like fuel (DLF) with …

A paper-based optical nose was fabricated by dropping bimetallic silver and gold
nanoparticles on a paper substrate. The nanoparticles were synthesized by both natural …

Fuel quality control has gained interest in many countries owing to the potential damage of
low-quality fuel to engines, the environment, and economy. Thus, the application of …

In this work, the use of 1H NMR spectroscopy and statistical approach to the evaluation of
biodiesel–diesel blends quality is described. Forty-six mixtures of oil–diesel, biodiesel …

This research presented the technical production and necessary analysis for the conversion
of natural rubber scrap into GLF and DLF. The essential properties were measured and …

Abstracts Rice has played an important role in staple food supply of over approximately one-
half of the world population. In this study, Raman spectroscopy and several multivariate data …

We demonstrate a novel artificial optical material, the “photonic hyper-crystal”, which
combines the most interesting features of hyperbolic metamaterials and photonic crystals …
