Summary: This study focuses on the solubility and stability of bioethanol as a fuel additive in different fuel blends. The dissolved ethanol fuel appears as particles with a unique size distribution, and its stability was measured. Results show that blending bioethanol with 50% diesel/50% biodiesel improves its stability compared to pure diesel or gasoline. However, the lowest stability was observed when bioethanol was mixed with gasoline. The size of the particles increased with higher bioethanol concentration over time.

Summary: The study found that co-combustion of water ammonia solution with diesel fuel increased ignition delay period and combustion duration, as well as raised heat release rate. Combustion involving ammonia caused deterioration in engine stability, but did not exceed permissible stability levels. Additionally, the addition of water ammonia solution reduced nitrogen oxide emissions, increased carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, with no significant changes in carbon dioxide emissions.

Summary: This paper examines the performance of hydrogen-fueled, spark-ignited, single-cylinder Cooperative Fuel Research using experimental and numerical methods. The study investigates the impact of air-fuel ratio on engine performance, emissions, and knock behavior across different compression ratios. The results show that the lambda significantly affects both engine performance and emissions, with a lambda value of 2 yielding the highest efficiency and lowest emissions. Combustion analysis demonstrates normal combustion at lambda greater than or equal to 2, while knocking combustion occurs at lambda less than 2, irrespective of the tested compression ratios. The likelihood of end-gas autoignition based on fuel reactivity is evaluated using the Livenwood-Wu integral approach, which confirms consistency with experimental investigations of both normal and knocking combustion possibilities.

Summary: To address the issue of in-cylinder knock caused by premixed natural gas combustion in engines, the blending of ammonia in natural gas can be utilized to slow down combustion rate and prevent knock combustion. This study investigates the impact of diesel ignition on engine combustion and emission performance of premixed natural gas/ammonia through simulation, considering 10 different ammonia blending ratios ranging from 0% to 90%. The findings indicate that with the increase of ammonia blending ratio, engine dynamics gradually decrease, while the lowest fuel consumption rate can be achieved at a 60% ammonia blending ratio. The increase in ammonia blending ratio and slit effect leads to an increase in unburned ammonia in the piston ring gap, resulting in significant reduction in CO2 and NOx emissions, although emissions of soot, HC, CO, CH2O, N2O, and NO2 are amplified after ammonia blends. Notably, N2O emissions have an impact on the greenhouse effect that is 298 times higher than that of CO2, necessitating attention to N2O emissions. Finally, the study identifies a premixed 40% natural gas/60% ammonia ratio as the optimal blend to effectively mitigate knock combustion and promote near zero carbon emissions from the engine.

Summary: Edible oil-based biodiesel production through transesterification was optimized using response surface methodology with the Box-Behnken model. The optimal process conditions were determined to be 5.89 M methanol, 0.5% (w/w) KOH, 60 degrees C, and 120 min, with a predicted yield of 99.5% and an experimental yield of 99.6%. In addition, two different kinetic models were developed and the activation energy for the pseudo-first-order irreversible reaction was found to be 16.9% higher than for the pseudo-homogenous irreversible reaction.

Summary: In this study, a Y-nanozeolite catalyst was synthesized using hydrothermal method and Iraqi sand-derived silica as raw material. The catalyst was tested before and after being loaded with potassium hydroxide (KOH). The results showed that the conversion and yield increased when the temperature and/or reaction time were increased, especially after promoting the catalyst with 10% KOH. The optimal conditions for achieving the highest conversion and yield of biodiesel were determined to be a temperature of 60 degrees C, a reaction time of 2 h, and the use of a catalyst with a particle size of 75 mu m loaded with 10% KOH.
