In this paper, two kinds of novel boosting pressure approaches, steam turbocharging and steam-assisted turbocharging, have been proposed. And both are based on the principle of internal combustion (IC) engine exhaust gas energy recovery. In order to demonstrate the advantages of the two types of...

The catalytic synthesis of biodiesel from soybean oil by transesterification over basic ionic liquid catalysts had been studied at atmospheric pressure. Choline hydroxide (ChOH) catalyst exhibited better catalytic activity compared with other basic ionic liquid catalysts, and methanol is the...

The study approach of this paper is to combine experiment and simulation on using butanol as fuel in gasoline engine. First, experiments were performed under full load on a single cylinder spark ignition engine fueled with 35%vol butanol–gasoline blend and the pure gasoline, respectively. The...
