Production of Composite Biodiesel from Pongamia & Simarouba oil and Comparison of Performance of Composite Biodiesel with Diesel
Abstract: Pongamia oil and simarouba oil are mixed in equal volume to prepare the composite oil. The composite oil is processed through two stage transesterification process to produce composite biodiesel. The composite biodiesel blends are prepared by mixing neat biodiesel with diesel by 5%, 10% and 20% volume respectively. The engine control factors viz., injection pressure, injection timing and fuel preheating temperature are considered for evaluating the performance of composite biodiesel …

Improving Internal Combustion Engine Performance by Using Reduced Power Air Conditioning System
Abstract: The paper studies and analyzes the effects of adsorption air conditioning system instead of the classical compression unit on the vehicle internal combustion engine (ICE) performance. The adsorption system uses the residual heat from the ICE cooling circuit to create the necessary thermodynamic conditions to reduce the temperature in the vehicle cockpit. The proposed system has the advantage of no mobile parts for operating since it works on pressure difference …
