The Modelling and Correlation Procedure for Assessment of Vibration Performance of a Heavy Commercial Truck
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Application of mathematical modelling and numerical methods is a key element of optimum vehicle development process. Upfront CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) simulations of vehicle attributes are required to select designs that meet vehicle attribute targets and legal requirements. CAE is an attractive approach to predict and optimize the performance of the vehicle, and to make decisions in terms of attribute trade-offs before the vehicle prototypes are available.

The Effect on Performance and Exhaust Emissions of Adding Cotton Oil Methyl Ester to Diesel Fuel
In the study, engine performance and exhaust emissions of diesel fuel and cotton oil methyl ester (COME) blends at proportions of 2%, %5 and 10% (v/v) have been investigated. The engine was fuelled with COME–diesel blend...
PERFORMANCE, EXHAUST EMISSIONS AND COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS OF MOHR OIL BASED BIODIESEL IN A MEDIUM GRADE LOW HEAT REJECTION DIESEL ENGINE
Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of a mohr oil based biodiesel (MOBD) at different operating conditions [normal temperature and pre-heated temperature] in a medium grade low heat rejection (LHR) d...
Effects of varying the compression ratio on the performance of a biodiesel fuelled diesel engine
Improved thermal efficiency, reductions in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions from biodiesel fuelled diesel engines are important issues in engine research. To achieve these, rapid and better air-fuel mixing is the...
Experimental investigation of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) /diesel blends in a diesel engine for improved exhaust emissions
This study focuses on the effect of blending isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and diesel fuel with conventional diesel. The effect of isopropyl alcohol on a diesel engine was examined experimentally in a three-cylinder direct inj...
Performance of single-cylinder compression ignition engine with indigenous castor oil bio diesel
Neat castor oil poses problems when used in CI engine. Problems are reduced to minimum by subjecting the castor oil to transesterification. Castor oil was converted to bio diesel and blended by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in qu...
