The present study examines the effect of the air-fuel mixture ratio on harmful emissions from a gasoline engine, analyzed from an ecological perspective. The experiments were carried out with a BMW 318 gasoline engine equipped with a MegaSquirt 3 electronic control unit and TunerStudio MS software, as well as a Kane AUTOplus gas analyzer. The conce...

Sustainable development is based on three pillars: sustainable economic growth, social well-being and environment protection. Sustainable rural development is regarded as a multidimensional concept including an equitable and balanced development within a rural area, an increased level of social cohesion and equitability, as well as the assuming of...

Monitoring the environmental status along the Veleka River (Strandzha Mtn, Bulgaria) is an essential measure for avoiding the dangers of ecological catastrophes and for preserving the unique biological diversity in this region. A system for monitoring some of the main parameters of surface waters, soils and air, as well as the sunlight levels, has...

In the context of rapidly developing technological trends, virtual reality (VR) represents a highly impactful tool for innovation in various sectors, including education. The authors of the article share their experience of creating a virtual classroom with a specialized interactive assembly model with the application of modern technologies in engi...

The article presents an integrated engineering education, a successfully implemented stand-alone system for measuring and reporting harmful gases from internal combustion engines, studied by the students in the "Automotive Technology" and "Automotive Electronic Systems" majors at the Faculty of Physics and Technology of Plovdiv University "Paisi...

Building 3D objects is a key technique in computer graphics and design. This technique allows creating three-dimensional models and scenes that mimic real objects and environments. The article presents a generated 3D object of the hotel building through the Blender software, which is successfully connected to the virtual reality tools-Oculus Quest...

The article presents the implementation of 3D printing in the automotive industry. According to a report by automotive research company Smart Tech Publishing, 3D printing is increasingly being used to produce automotive parts. Analysts predict that by 2029, the printed parts market will generate up to and over USD 9 billion. The authors of the arti...

Modern production technologies, also known as 3D printing or additive manufacturing, have applications in diverse areas of human activity. These methods are characterized by accuracy and economy compared to traditional methods of manufacturing parts, components, and elements. These technologies are characterized by: low production costs, the abilit...

Vehicle emissions are the most important source of air pollution in urban environments worldwide, and their detection and control are critical to protecting public health. It is common for vehicle owners and mechanics to focus primarily on faults that affect safety, drivability, and fuel economy, but lack knowledge or interest in emissions-related...

The paper discusses the use of the OrCad environment and the Emona Telecoms-Training Lab ETT-101 for research and teaching of Line coding in order to help students on engineering study programmes to learn the principles of building digital communication systems. The simulations developed and presented and the laboratory layout allow for exami...

Simulating the open loop gain of an amplifier circuit is a highly misunderstood subject in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. In order to address that, we describe four methods that we use to successfully simulate operational amplifier open loop gain in engineering education environment.
