Biodiesel Performance Evaluation of Internal Combustion Engines

ABOUT THE BOOK: Basically, internal combustion enginses or C.I. engine are designed to operate under conventional fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, LPG etc. However, owing to rapid depletion, escalating prices and environmental pollution, researchers around the globe have experimentally proved that non conventional alternative and renewable energy sources could be utilized to operate these engines without any major changes in them.
The book deals with Performance Evaluation of Internal Combustion engines with Biodiesel, Lubricating Oil Deterioration Analysis, Experimental Investigations on a Hot Surface Ignition Engine, Impact of Cold Flow Improver, Simulation of Compression Ignition Engine Process, Durability Testing of Diesel Engine, Effect of Compression Ratio and Hydrogen Addition on Part Throttle Performance of a Biogas Fuelled Spark Ignition Engine, Preheating and Carbureter on Engine Performance & Design and Experimental Evaluation of Fuel Efficient Heat Pipe Petrol Engine etc.
The book will be a ready reckoner for students, academicians, researchers & Mechanical Engineers.
