Combined effects of a novel reduced graphene oxide-enriched diesel-hazelnut biodiesel-tetrahydrofuran blend on combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine

Abstract The gradual exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves and the enforcement of stricter emission regulations have driven the search for sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative fuels for compression-ignition engines. In this study, the effects of the combined use of h...

The effects of nanoparticle usage as an additive into diesel-microwave-assisted corn oil biodiesel-oxygenated dibutyl maleate fuel mixtures on combustion, performance and emissions

In the current research, the role of nanoparticles in microwave-assisted corn oil biodiesel–dibutyl maleate (DBM) blends was analyzed with respect to combustion behavior, engine performance, and emissions. A single-cylinder DI diesel engine was operated at 2200 rpm and 4.12, 9.61...

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 and Co3O4 nanoparticle-doped nanocomposite blend membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Abstract The development of proton exchange membranes with improved physicochemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical properties is essential for advancing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technologies. In this study, nanocomposite blend membranes were fabricated...
