The call for reduction in pollution has been mandated by government′ s policies
worldwide. This challenges the engine manufacturer to strike an optimum between engine …

The present study is a literature review on previous proposed strategies in order to reduce
the emissions of diesel engines. In this review, the results of effective strategies include; …

In-cylinder thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) reduce heat transfer losses and increase thermal
efficiency. It has been shown that thick TBCs negatively impact the performance of …

Cylinder wall heat insulation using thermal barrier coatings is both an old and new thermal
efficiency improvement technology for internal combustion engines. This review first outlines …

The goal of this paper is to determine both temperature and thermal stress distributions in a
plasma-sprayed magnesia-stabilized zirconia coating on an aluminum piston crown to …

Depending on the heat content and compression ignition (CI) engine combustion, biodiesel
is a viable substitute fuel. Biodiesel is an oxygenated, safe, sulfur-free, biodegradable, and …

This experimental investigation examines the combined effects of varying compression ratio
(CR) and fuel injection parameters such as fuel injection pressure (FIP) and start of injection …

Internal combustion engine with its combustion chamber walls insulated by thermal barrier
coating materials is referred to as low heat rejection engine or LHR engine. The main …

The performance of an internal combustion engine is affected when renewable biofuels are
used instead of fossil fuels in an unmodified engine. Various engine modifications were …

In this study, an experimental study of the effects of injection timing on nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions of a low heat rejection (LHR) turbocharged direct injection diesel engine was …
