internal combustion engines. Values of entropy production, second law efficiency are calculated, and an objective function …₂, CO and NO_x, are presented for the flue gas of the internal combustion engine. The results show that … entropy generation in the combined heat and power mode is 30% lower than that in the simple internal combustion engine. Also …

the density, viscosity and lower heating value (LHV) of these fuels were measured, and the engine performance, combustion … fraction up to 30%. The start of combustion was later than that of diesel fuel and the peak cylinder pressure, peak pressure …

The paper evaluates and discusses the combustion characteristics of electrolytically produced stoichiometric hydrogen …-oxygen mixtures under constant volume adiabatic conditions. The results will be used in the preliminary design of a combustion chamber … of a hydrogen-oxygen fuelled engine. Maximum combustion pressures are investigated and compared to theoretical …

the compression ignition engine, and its performance, emissions and combustion characteristics of the engine were analyzed …. The results showed that biodiesel exhibited the similar combustion stages to that of diesel, however, biodiesel showed an … earlier start of combustion. At lower engine loads, the peak cylinder pressure, the peak rate of pressure rise and the peak of …
