Abstract

Conventional gasoline engines suffer from low performance and NOx emissions. Controlled auto-ignition (CAI), sometimes referred to as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), is a promising concept to solve such problems. CAI has the potential to improve spark ignition (SI) engine fuel economy while at the same time solving the trade-off of NOx-soot emissions found in compression ignition (CI) engines. The CAI engine can reach a fuel economy comparable to that of a conventional diesel engine with ultra-low NOx and negligible soot emissions. However, controlling auto-ignition remains the biggest difficulty that hinders the implementation of CAI as a commercial engine. Research towards a cleaner and more efficient engine is driven by the progressively stringent emission regulation imposed worldwide. Therefore, the CAI was developed to meet the emissions target while maintaining engine performance. CAI works on the principle of lean mixture and auto-ignition. To obtain CAI combustion, the temperatures in the cylinder must be sufficient to initiate auto-ignition. Without the use of a spark plug or injector, the CAI suffers from a direct control mechanism to start the combustion. The most practical approach to controlling the initiation of auto-ignition in CAI is diluting the intake charge by either trapping the residual gas or recirculating the exhaust gas. Both approaches enable the engine to achieve CAI combustion without requiring significant modifications to control the onset of CAI combustion phase.

Abstract

E-learning is currently a rapidly growing trend which attempts to provide an infrastructural configuration that integrates and encompass learning content, services and tools as a single solution which can generate and deliver educational contents and training effectively, efficiently and cost-effectively. In advanced technical education, laboratories are essential learning spaces. Providing laboratory facilities at universities with limited funds and technical know-how is difficult due to the high expenses of installation and upkeep. In order to tackle these obstacles, "virtual laboratories" have been established. Through remote access, virtual laboratories make it possible for users to conduct experiments similar to genuine systems. Consequently, resources of laboratories can be shared across a wide community of geographically dispersed customers while restricting operational expenses and initial set-up to one single institution. This article reviews the virtual laboratory for engineering education. Three distinct e-learning resource methods are discussed. The intrinsic objectives of animation are also explained. Lastly, the conclusion is provided along with recommendation for future studies.

Abstract

The advent of biofuel as a fossil petroleum substitute has been a revolutionary concept in the realm of combustion, but it lacks some qualities that, if addressed, could improve physio-chemical properties and promote energy sustainability. Recently, introducing nanoparticles (NPs) as an additive in fuel for combustion engines has become an effective practice particularly in the automobile industry, to optimize combustion efficiency and minimize emissions. Previous researchers discovered that adding NPs into biodiesel fuel improved overall engine operation performance. Thus, the objective of the research is to summarize existing research findings on nanoparticles effects on fuel properties and engine performance. The paper investigates biofuels, bio-fuel generation classifications, nano-fuel stability, performance, and limitations, as well as current research on the influence of NPs on combustion fuel properties and engine efficiency. Prior to this, researchers have discovered that employing NPs with appropriate additives and concentrations with optimal solubility significantly reduced emissions. In comparison to basic biofuel, adding CeO2 NPs to biofuel boosted brake thermal efficiency (BTE) for low and high operation by 4.1 and 12.02%, respectively. Carbon II Oxide and unburnt hydrocarbon emissions were reduced by 16.13 and 17.59%, respectively, in comparison to pure biofuel under C20-D80 + CeO2 20 ppm. However, due to the biofuel's oxygen concentration, CO2 and NOx emission reductions were not as significant. The findings indicate that utilizing a single bio-fuel generates minimal effective power, yet by incorporating nanoparticles optimizes the operation. Furthermore, future direction of the related work will be discussed particularly on the potential benefits of incorporating NPs in fuel.
