Herein, we present the production of jet and diesel range hydrocarbons from non-edible hexane-extracted Brassica carinata oil. The influence of four heterogeneous catalysts (two noble metal catalysts: Pd/C and Ru/C, and two transition metal…
The prediction of ageing phenomena in Liquefied Natural Gas is based on two hypotheses: considering evaporation rate or considering heat flow transferred to the hydrocarbons mixture. This paper proposes two models based on these premises and…
The aim of this study is to investigate the detailed soot formation characteristics of crude Jatropha oil (CJO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO) blends (lower heating value (LHV) basis: 50%/50%) in a 550 kW-class combustion test furnace equipped with an…
The effects of hydrogen enrichment in a naturally aspirated spark ignition engine fuelled with compressed natural gas were investigated. A mixer that can control the enrichment fraction and assure homogeneity of hydrogen in CNG was used in the…
This research paper contains the results of analysis of a range of variation of the lower heating value of gas during the process of conversion of diesel locomotive engines to operation on natural gas as motor fuel. It was demonstrated in this paper…
Natural gas with H2 is widely used for lean-burn combustion, which leads to NOx emission as the main problem for it. For decreasing NOx emission and increasing thermal efficiency, the investigation on seeking the influence of H2 fractions on the…
The propagation of information encoded in the fluctuations of chemical species of natural gas transported within natural gas distribution grids allows for a new gas tracking method. In contrast to state of the art gas and calorific value tracking…

Energy measurement is the most important measurement method in international natural gas trade, and the calorific value of gas is one of the core parameters of energy measurement. In practice, the calorific value of natural gas is usually calculated…
