Effect of Utilizing a Novel Intake Manifold Design on Smoke Emissions and Particulate Size Distributions of a Gas-to-Liquid Diesel Engine
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
Smoke emissions and particulate matter (PM) size distributions were investigated on a direct-injection (DI) single-cylinder diesel engine running on both gas-to-liquid (GTL) and diesel fuels utilizing a novel spiral-helical ...
Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass into bio-oils and other value-added products – A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is an effective method for the conversion of biomass into biofuel involving moderate temperature and high pressure. However, the yield and quality of bio-oil are not sufficient for ...
