According to the physical and chemical properties of methanol, fuel was prepared using the methanol and biodiesel. The physical and chemical properties of the blends were investigated, and the combustion process calculation model of 186FA diesel engine was established. The spray characteristics and in-cylinder pressure were calculated of diesel engine fueled with the blend of biodiesel added with 15% methanol at 3000r/min, 5.7kW. The results show that, the spray penetration shortens and the sauter mean diameter reduces when diesel engine fueled with methanol/biodiesel, besides, the maximum cylinder pressure reduces. However, the maximum pressure rise rate increases.

Modelling of pollutants concentrations from the biomass combustion process This paper presents possibilities for of numerical modelling of biomass combustion in a commercially available boiler. A sample of biomass was tested with respect to its physical and chemical properties. Thermogravimetry studies of biomass were carried out. Computer simulation makes it possible to analyse complex phenomena which are otherwise difficult to observe. The aim of this work was to model biomass combustion to predict the amount of pollutants generated (NOx, CO, SO2) in the exhaust gases coming out from boilers The calculations were made using the CHEMKIN program. Results of calculations were performed taking into account the influence of temperature, pressure and residence time.

Water in diesel emulsion is an optional fuel, has a potential to reduce the formation of both nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxides and particulate matters in diesel engine. Thus the performance of this emulsified fuel strongly depends on the type of emulsion, stability of emulsion, amount of surfactant and the physio-chemical properties. In this study, water in diesel emulsion fuels of 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% water by volume was prepared by a mechanical stirrer. Physical and chemical properties of emulsion were examined as this properties could influence the spray characteristic of the emulsion which can affect the ignition delay and flame propagation, the carbon contents for emulsified fuel with 10% and 20% were low droplet size of the emulsion was found to be less than 2 µm. The water content in the emulsified fuel also include the amount of surfactant density and viscosity was found to be higher for all of the water in diesel emulsion the pure diesel.

During testing, the possibility of using hemp biomass for energy purposes was assessed. The criteria assessed were the physical and chemical properties of hemp biomass, as well as the combustion process of straw and briquettes made of it in a low-power boiler. The results were made and compared with currently applicable standards. Technical and chemical properties of hemp biomass are comparable with the best plants used for energy purposes. Studies have also shown the susceptibility of hemp biomass compaction. However, large emissions recorded during the combustion of the tested forms of biofuels from hemp straw in light of applicable standards disqualify this fuel for use in grate-type heating devices with air fed under the grate. It would be advisable to carry out research on the total costs of pellet production and their use in heating devices with a retort burner, while taking into account this biofuel’s ashes’ susceptibility of sintering.

Biodiesel fuel (BDF) can be effectively used as an alternative fuel in diesel engines. The BD, however, may affect performance and exhaust emissions of the diesel engine because it's physical and chemical properties, such as viscosity, compressibility and so on, are different from the diesel fuel. To investigate effects of an injection timing on characteristics of performance and exhaust emissions with the BDF in an IDI (Indirect injection) diesel engine, this research applied the BDF derived from soybean oil in this study. The engine was operated with six different injection timings from TDC to BTDC 12°CA and six different loads at engine speeds of 1500 and 2000 rpm. In less then the BDF 20, the diesel engine showed the similar trend compare to the diesel fuel. But, the best injection timing with the BD 50 was 2°CA retarded compare to the diesel fuel.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
