The objective of this study was to identify and classify adulteration in certain fossil fuel products (including gasoline, diesel, and kerosene) using an electronic nose (e-nose). In this research, blends of gasoline-diesel, gasoline-kerosene, and diesel-kerosene were prepared at volumetric ratios of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. Data acquisitio...

The Journal of Agricultural Mechanization (JAM) invites researchers, academicians, and professionals to submit their original research articles, reviews, and technical notes for publication. JAM is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in agricultural engineering, mechanization, precision farming, and related fields...

Vegetable oils, whose hydrocarbon structure is very similar to that of petroleum products, are ideal renewable and sustainable alternatives to petroleum lubricants. Bio-lubricants are commonly synthesized by modifying the chemical structure of vegetable oils. In this study, microwave irradiation was applied to intensify the mass-transfer-limited tr...

In this study, various biodiesel fuels were blended with 2, 5, 10, 20, and 80 volumes of petroleum diesel. The results were collected using an electronic nose including 8 metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors. The collected data were then analyzed by the artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface method (RSM) techniques. According to th...

The structure of hydrocarbon chain of fatty acids is similar to the petroleum products. Therefore, they are an ideal alternative for petroleum lubricant and diesel fuel, due to their renewability and biodegradability. In this study, intensification of transesterification reaction using microwave heating was applied to produce biodiesel with camelin...

Many investigations have introduced MgO as a favorable solid base catalyst. Although magnesium oxide catalyst does not have as strong of basic sites as calcium oxide catalyst, it is stable under ambient conditions. Furthermore , magnesium oxide catalyst activity is not sensitive to the water content of the reactants, which makes magnesium oxide cat...

Global warming, climate change, crisis about the energy price, and supply are the main issues in the world and the petroleum-based energy supplement is the main responsible for these problems. More specially, environmental concerns peaked after the critical carbon dioxide level exceeded. Increasing the percentage of clean and renewable energy sourc...

Rapidly intensifying necessitates of energy and depletion of accessible fossil resources has made a remarkable interest in investigation of the alternative fuels. The current investigational work was performed to examine the use of multi-objective optimization (MOP) based on response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate the impact of compressio...

Extensive use of fossil-fuel energy has led to environmental problems such as climate change and global warming. Therefore, the need for environmentally friendly fuels has become urgent. The conversion of waste biomass to useful fuels is seems to be most effective and low-cost way to obtain renewable and clean fuels. Fuel additives are another prom...

Due to the lack of drinking water people have been forced to obtain fresh and renewable water sources. For this reason, desalination systems are being developed around the world. Ultrasound technology is one of the most recent technologies in the desalination industry which improves the evaporation and distillation processes by increasing the mass...

This study addressed the detection and classification of biodiesel from different sources using electronic nose through application of statistical training-based methods and mathematical optimization techniques. Biodiesel fuels obtained from canola oil with methanol (MK), corn oil with methanol (MZ), canola oil with ethanol (EK) and corn oil with e...

In the present study, biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil was added to the diesel fuel at various volume percentages. Nanoparticles of cobalt oxide and cerium oxide were also used as additive to diesel-biodiesel blends. The fuel was magnetized by two neodymium magnets with grade of 42. The effect of six parameters including the magnetic field...

Biodiesel is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats as a fuel for replacing fossil fuels in diesel engines. Energy efficiency and energy intensity in production processes are a significant issue. In this research work, the process energy indices and economic analysis have been investigated due to determine the potent...

Given the significance of the relationships between human beings, environment, machines and ergonomics as well as the necessity of using renewable fuels, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of different blends of biodiesel, bioethanol and diesel on noise pollution emitted by a MF285 tractor in stationary and moving modes by the aid o...

In the present study, the noise pollution from different compositions of biodiesel, bioethanol, and diesel fuels in a four-cylinder and four-stroke engine of MF285 tractor was studied.
