Comparative Study of Performance and Emission of Gasoline and Gasoline-Ethanol Blends
Abstract: AbstractThis study is about analysing performance of gasoline and gasoline-ethanol blends in multi-fuel engine. Performance, combustion and emission characteristics of gasoline fuel and gasoline ethanol blended fuels have been analysed in detail under various load conditions, various ignition angle, different compression ratios and at different rpm. The study showed improvement in thermal efficiency at higher compression ratios compared to lower compression ratios as well as with ethanol blended fuel. There …

Performance Investigation of Evacuated Tube Solar Heating System: A Review
Abstract: The solar energy is the most abundant and eco-friendly source of energy on earth. It is the most readily available source of renewable energy on the earth; the earth receives millions of watt of energy per day which is coming in the form of solar radiation. Solar energy is captured by several conventional and new type of solar collectors of which the evacuated solar collector is the most efficient and …

Performance Evaluation of Diesel Engine Fuelled with Karanja Biodiesel
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of diesel engine fuelled with karanja (Pongamia pinnata) based biodiesel (B100). A single cylinder, air-cooled, constant speed (1500 rpm) direct injection diesel engine was operated with diesel and karanja based biodiesel (B100). The results indicate that biodiesel fuelled engine has lower Brake Thermal efficiency (BTE), whereas the Break Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC) is higher. The Air-fuel ratio and exhaust temperature …

Design, Fabrication and Performance Analysis of Solar Dryer Integrated with Thermal Energy Storage
Abstract: Drying is an essential process in the preservation of agricultural products for preserving it for long time or even for years. Drying is the process of removing the moisture content from the products. The quality of drying is determined by what amount of moisture is removed and the hygiene of the product. The process of drying is practiced from very ancient days itself for preserving the food for the off …
