Experimental tests have been carried out to evaluate the performance and gaseous emission characteristics of a diesel engine when fuelled with vegetable oil and its blends of 25%, 50%, and 75% of vegetable oil with ordinary diesel fuel separately. Tests on ordinary diesel fuel have also been carried out for comparison purposes. A series of tests are conducted and repeated six times for each …
The specific cooling power (SCP) of adsorption chillers could be increased by employing zeolite coated, extended heat transfer surfaces in the generator. An experiment featured 50 annular aluminium fins, 76 mm diameter, each coated with 2 g of zeolite CBV901, and pressed onto a 10 mm bore aluminium tube. A large (4 kg), structurally stiff and easily fabricated casing enclosed the finned tube…
