Review of application of CFD methodologies used for methane enrichment of natural gas
Abstract: Methane is a major constituent of biogas which contains about 60 – 70% of total volume. For utilization of biogas as fuel, its calorific value is a limitation which can be improved by removing impurities such as CO2, H2S, and moisture. Various techniques are available for the removal of impurities. This paper aims to explore various methodologies in CFD which are used to simulate and find out the factors that …

Evaluation of Diesel Engine Performance Using Neem Oil Methyl Esters and Biogas as an Alternative Source
Abstract: AbstractThe Neem oil methyl ester (NOME) used as a biofuel is produced by transestetrification process with an aim to reduce the viscosity level, fuel economy and less environmental pollution. Further, addition of biogas to the NOME is expected to improve the performance. The objective of study was to evaluate the performance parameters such as Total fuel consumption (TFC), Specific fuel consumption (SFC) and Brake thermal efficiency (BTE). The experiment was …

Steam Activated Carbon Material from the Fruit Shells of Sterculia foetida for Energy and Environmental Applications
Abstract: Steam activation of the biochar from Sterculia foetida forms a green route for the synthesis of activated carbon material with high specific surface area (1017 m2/g). The corresponding value with a chemical activating agent (K2CO3) is much lower (596 m2/g). Structural parameters of the activated carbon materials were deduced from XRD studies. Moreover the thermal stability of the activated carbon materials from steam activation is nearly 100°C higher than that …
