STUDYING HOW DIESEL ENGINE ADDITIVES USING SILVER OXIDE (Ag2O) NANOPARTICLES AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT by CIHAN BAYINDIRLI, MEHMET CELIK

“… Abstract: Biodiesel has been defined as an alternative fuel that has the potential to be used instead of diesel fuel for years. In case of complete combustion reaction in engines, the products released do not directly threaten human health. …”

Advanced HCCI Engines: Challenges and Potential Applications by Xie Mingyang

“…By igniting a homogeneous air-fuel mixture through compression without the need for a spark plug, HCCI engines achieve a more uniform and complete combustion process, resulting in lower NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions. …”

Hydrogen production via dehydrogenation of alcohols using ruthenium hexamethylenetetramine complex by Preeti Devi, Senthilkumar Muthaiah

“… Being a zero-carbon source, the hydrogen economy is considered to be better than the fuel economy as it produces only water vapor even after complete combustion. Still, it suffers from two major drawbacks, namely (1) the production of green hydrogen from sustainable resources and (2) the storage and transportation of hydrogen. …”

Numerical Simulation of Two-Phase System of “Combustible Liquid – Solid Fuel” Combustion in a Fixed Bed by K. V. Dobrego, I. A. Koznacheev

“…In case of upper side ignition the combustion wave is formed at the time of the order of 100 s (when the used magnitudes of parameters are being used again), then it spreads downstream of the layer, accompanied by incomplete oxidation of solid fuel and complete combustion of oxygen. The effect of incomplete solid fuel combustion was noted earlier in the investigations of combustion of lean coal layer and some other systems. …”

Extending Lean Operating Limit and Reducing Emissions of Methane Spark-Ignited Engines Using a Microwave-Assisted Spark Plug by Vi H. Rapp, Anthony DeFilippo, Samveg Saxena, Jyh-Yuan Chen, Robert W. Dibble, Atsushi Nishiyama, Ahsa Moon, Yuji Ikeda

“…At lean conditions, the results showed adding microwave energy to a standard spark plug discharge increased the number of complete combustion cycles, improving engine stability as compared to spark-only operation. …”

Effects of hydrogen enrichment in Methane/Air combustion with different inlet arrangements: A numerical approach by Arithra Debnath Prithu, Kazi Mostafijur Rahman, Md.Rhyhanul Islam, Didarul Hasan Saharaj, Md Sabbir Hossain

“…The lower emission of CO and CO2 could be attributed to the facts that with H2 enrichment the carbon content in the fuel stream decreases, mixture becomes leaner and subsequently results in more complete combustion. In both inlet configurations, the emission of NO exhibited a slight decrease upon the introduction of 15 % H2 but beyond 30 % enrichment there was a notable increase in NO production, primarily attributed to the peak temperature zones. …”

Heat-not-burn technology affects plasma testosterone levels and markers of inflammation, oxidative stress in the testes of rats by Silvia Granata, Camilla Morosini, Maria Chiara Valerii, Ivan Fagiolino, Stefano Sangiorgi, Severino Ghini, Enzo Spisni, Fabio Vivarelli, Lucy C. Fairclough, Moreno Paolini, Donatella Canistro

“…Using heat-not-burn (HnB) technology, these devices heat tobacco avoiding complete combustion. Although the levels of toxicants in the mainstream are significantly lower than those observed in tobacco smoke, some recent studies have raised concerns about potential health risks associated with their use, particularly regarding their effects on male gonadal function, which remain largely unexplored.MethodsAdult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed, whole body, 5 days/week for 4 weeks to HnB mainstream.ResultsThe expression of the cell cycle regulators Bax/Bcl-2 ratio is not affected, along with no changes in p-38. …”
