An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of water in biodiesel emulsions (WiBE) and biogas on the reactivity-controlled compression ignition combustion for improved performance and reduced emissions. 13% WiBE, 15% WiBE and regular B5 were, directly, injected with the port injection of biogas at the intake valve, as a modified fueling approach. An advanced injection timing of 21o CA BTDC...
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine has attracted great attention due to its improved performance and emissions compared to conventional engines. It can reduce both Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions simultaneously without sacrificing the engine performance. However, controlling its combustion phasing remains a major challenge due to the absence of direct...
Crude oil exploitation has had and continues to have a deleterious impact on the environment in the region adversely impacting on the people inhabiting the area ever since its discovery in the 1970s. This review paper dwells much on the analysis of secondary source data such as gray literature, journals and primary data (field reports) on the environmental and social impacts of oil exploration and...
In the United States in the last few years there has developed a notion of strategic management. Strategic management is all about identification and description of the strategies that managers can carry to achieve better performance and a competitive advantage for their organization. Strategic management can also be defined as a bundle of decisions and acts which a manager undertakes and which decides...
Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundant renewable resources that can be processed by chemical reactions for the production of value-added products. In the current study, cellulose and methyl cellulose were synthesized from bleached bagasse pulp and were further modified to cellulose derivatives. Cellulose was first extracted from bagasse by acid–alkali pulping process and was derivatized...
Cellulose is a naturally occurring organic polymer. The chemical functionalization of cellulose is conducted to adjust its properties for different purposes. In the present study, cellulose was extracted from bagasse, derivatized to acetate, and chemically modified again to prepare tosylated cellulose acetate. The prepared cellulose derivatives were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...
To adjust the properties of the macromolecular structure of cellulose, chemical modification can take place to find different applications. In the current study, cellulose was extracted from bagasse, where it was derivatized to carboxymethyl cellulose, and carbanilated cellulose. These two cellulose derivatives were further chemically modified in homogenous system by tosyl and trimethylsilylation...
