Study of performance and combustion in ammonia-fueled CI engines via diesel simultaneous injection

Abstract Ammonia is a promising carbon-free hydrogen carrier with wide industrial availability; however, its low flame speed, high latent heat, and narrow flammability characteristics create significant challenges for compression ignition engines. This study investigates ammonia/...

Development and characterization of an epoxy-based hybrid polymer composite modified with cashew nut shell liquid, castor oil, and aluminium nanoparticles

While conventional epoxy resins exhibit excellent mechanical properties, their inherent brittleness, lack of sustainable content, and moderate thermal performance limit their application in eco-friendly lightweight engineering. To address these limitations, this study aims to dev...

Thermohydraulic performance enhancement of a solar air heater integrating jet impingement and semi-cylindrical side-wall modification within a dual-chamber configuration: a combined experimental and numerical investigation

This work introduces a novel hybrid solar air heater (SAH) architecture that combines jet impingement and semi-cylindrical side-wall geometry modifications within a dual-chamber duct to simultaneously exploit active and passive augmentation mechanisms. A systematic parametric stu...
