Today's competitive world economy is creating an indispensable demand for increased
efficiency of engineering components that operate in harsh environments (ie, very high …

The demand for efficient engineering components operating in harsh environments has
necessitated the exploration of advanced protective measures. Thermal barrier coatings …

In this study, the effects of different hexane and water blended diesel fuel rates on CO (ppm),
CO 2 (%), HC (ppm), exhaust gas temperature (° C), NO x (%), smoke opacity (%), brake …

The work involved the development and on-engine testing of a new “thermo-swing” barrier
coating for reduced wall heat transfer and increased thermal efficiency in future diesel …

To further improve the thermal state of the piston for better thermal design, a multi-objective
optimisation algorithm was used in this paper to find the best combination of design …

This work uses a 0D thermodynamic engine model coupled to a 1D surface temperature
solver to study the potential of low thermal inertia thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on …

This study investigated the performance, combustion, and emissions of a modified low heat
rejection (LHR) diesel engine fueled with a blend of 90% coconut waste cooking oil (CWCO) …

Coated engines are now known to cause improvements in performance and emissions. But
an excessive increase in nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions is described as a negative aspect of …

The scope of this work investigates the feasibility of using orange peel oil (OPO)–gasoline
blends in a spark-ignition engine for the first time. Initially, fuel characterization of OPO is …

The low carbon biofuel (pine oil) derived from the pine tree is endowed with enhanced fuel
properties with good octane rating and can be used for SI engine applications. In order to …
