Soybean Oil Methyl Ester

Biodiesel has been gaining worldwide popularity as an alternative energy source because of its many benefits. In order to optimize the application of biodiesel the low-temperature fluidity, pulverization, evaporation, invariability, erosion capability, cleanliness and mutual solubility of the low blending rate soybean-oil-methyl-ester biodiesel-diesel blends were compared and analyzed. Then the engine tests have been carried out with the aim of obtaining comparative measures of emissions such as CO, smoke density, HC and NOx to evaluate and compute the behavior of the diesel engine running on the low blending rate biodiesel-diesel blends. The experimental results show that the low blending rate biodiesel -diesel blends conform to the standard GB252-2000 of China. Compared with the original diesel engine, the smoke, HC and CO emissions of diesel engine fueled with low blending rate soybean-oil-methyl-ester decrease, but NOx emissions increase.

Energy harvesting through motion caused by wind is a unique way of finding an alternative energy source for several electronic devices. Piezo-electronic sensors, which harvest energy from small vibrations and movements, are investigated by many researchers nowadays. This paper conducted an experimental study to find an alternative energy source for diverse electronics with forced oscillations from a fan. The relations between the force applied by wind and the oscillation of a paper strip were studied.

Braking Process

Due to the increasing concern for environment protection and the uncertainty about oil reserves, nowadays electricity is playing a key role as an alternative energy source in the automotive sector. In this paper, non isolated bidirectional converter is used for electric vehicle application during regenerative braking process. During motoring operation, the converter supplies energy to motor through battery. In regenerative braking action, the converter supplies the available back emf to charge the battery. The recycled energy is effectively stored in the battery. The simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. The worthiness of simulation is illustrated experimentally by developing a prototype. The simulation and experimental results are presented in this paper<strong>.</strong>
