On the basis of introducing the origin and development of finite time thermodynamics (FTT),
this paper reviews the progress in FTT optimization for internal combustion engine (ICE) …

This review mainly summarizes some of the developments on the various aspects of
thermodynamic analysis within the past 15 years. Therefore, it is limited and will omit some …

The rapid growth in automotive industry and increased fuel consumption and environmental
pollution, along with decrease in oil and fossil fuel resources, necessitate the adoption of …

In this study, the results of an investigation of the performance of a gas-steam combined
cycle system (GSCCS) under exergetic and exergo-economical criteria are reported. The …

The rapidly growing energy demand across the globe and emission problem can be
compensated by biodiesel blends. These promising renewable fuels can be developed from …

Biogas found its way from developing countries and is now an alternative to fossil fuels in
internal combustion engines and with the advantage of lower greenhouse gas emissions …

The different parameters of the combustion gases mixture were calculated allowing the
calculation of the heat convection coefficient between the gases and the bore surface of the …

In this study, performance analyses of a gas turbine with two intercoolers and two re-heaters
based on energetic, exergetic and ecological concepts such as power, power density …

An analytical/numerical methodology is presented to calculate the radiated noise due to
internal combustion engine piston impacts on the cylinder liner through a film of lubricant …

This paper presents diesel engine simulation taking into consideration heat transfer and
variable specific heats. A dual Weibe function is used to model the heat release. It was found …
