Due to depletion of fossil fuel, bio-fuels have generated a significant interest as an alternative fuel for the future. The use of bio-fuels to fuel gas turbine seems a viable solution for the problems of decreasing fossil-fuel reserves and environmental concerns. Bio-fuels are alternative...

In view of above present investigation is planned with the following.

Thermal performance of the four identical trapezoidal cavity absorbers for linear Fresnel reflecting solar device were studied and compared. The absorbers were designed for operating in conjunction with a prototype Fresnel solar reflector. Rectangular and round pipe sections were used as...

Artificial roughness in form of ribs is convenient method for enhancement of heat transfer coefficient in solar air heater. This paper presents experimental investigation of heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of rectangular duct roughened with W-shaped ribs on its underside on one...

The oil crisis and the global effort to control the greenhouse effect have forced the researchers to think of various alternative energy sources. This decade has seen increasing importance of chemically treated vegetable oil biodiesel fuels for various applications in heat engines. Post-Kyoto...

The energy crisis contributed to the development of bio-diesel production. Petroleum, charcoal and natural gas sources are limited and will be exhausted by the next century. Thus, looking for alternative source of energy is of vital importance Vegetable oils are a renewable and potentially...
