Consequently, the reduction of their amount and quality is highly recommended for clean environment. The present work includes an attempt to use diesel-water emulsion as a fuel on compression ignition (CI) engine emissions and to investigate its effect on these hurtful discharges. For this reason, tests are carried out on a single cylinder, 4-stroke CI engine with steady speed (1500 rpm) and different loads (0-100 %) operated with various proportions of diesel-water emulsions and compared it to the diesel fuel. Four samples of diesel-water emulsions are prepared at ratios of (5, 10, 15 and 20 %) by water volume in diesel and with help of Tween 20 and Oleic Acid as a surfactant to maintain its stability for long periods of time. Gas emissions of the engine are recorded for CO2, CO, HC, and NOX using an exhaust gas analyzer and smoke opacity using a device of smoke meter. Results reveal that the diesel-water emulsion significantly decreases the NOX emissions and smoke opacity. The highest reduction ratio for NOX and smoke opacity are found in case of fuel emulsion DW20, with values of 32.5 % and 39 % respectively, in comparison with that of diesel fuel.","PeriodicalId":31812,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47437351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shape memory alloys belong to this class of materials being easy to manufacture, relatively lightweight, and able to produce high forces or displacements with low power consumption. These aspects could be exploited in different applications including vibration control. A dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) can be used as an effective vibration control device. It is essentially a secondary mass, attached to an original system via a spring and damper. The natural frequency of the DVA is tuned such that it coincides with the frequency of unwanted vibration in the original system. This work aims to develop a dynamic vibration absorber with the help of shape memory alloy (SMA) springs in order to attenuate the vibration for a range of excitation frequencies. The experimental apparatus consisted of low-friction cars free to move in a rail. A shaker that provides harmonic forcing excites the system.

The enclosure was comprised of two vertical and opposed surfaces (the right hot and the left cold) while the two other surfaces are adiabatic. The two-dimensional, low-Reynolds number k ? ???? turbulence model is applied to enable it to cope with low Reynolds number flows. By transforming the equation of (continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy) using finite volume method from differential forms to algebraic forms using SIMPLE algorithm with hybrid scheme dealing with the time term are adopted to solve the governing equations. A computer program in Fortran 90 was built to carry on the numerical solution. Three cases were studied in this work, case I(reaches to steady state and then begins the effect of vibration at each frequency), caseII and caseIII(begin the effect of vibration from the transient at ascending and descending frequencies respectively).After the validity of the present code by comparing results with these of previous study for similar conditions, solutions have been obtained for Prandtle number of 0.7, aspect ratio (A=1). In the high Rayleih number case (Ra=4×108), the gravitional thermal convection dominates, and the vibration motion does not enhances the heat transfer remarkably. In contrast, in low Rayleigh (Ra=7×107), the vibration thermal convection is dominant, and the vibration enhaces the heat transfer rate significantly. The effect of vertical directional vibration is more powerful in caseII(ascending frequency), when the horizontal directional vibration more effective in case III(descending frequency). \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":31812,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45382866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the preliminary boiling point is lower than the cease point is higher than ASTM distillation for the two crude oils. Most important properties of the products of the two crude oils were calculated. These properties are API, gravity, Watson characterization factor (k), viscosity, molecular weight and refractive index. It was found that the API gravity for Al-Dora crude oil cuts is less than that of the Al-Ahdab crude oil cuts. Also , Al-Dora and Al-Ahdab crude oils cuts having more naphthenic or aromatic components since the characterization factor is less than 12.5. it was concluded that the characterization factor (K) for Al-Ahdab crude oil is less than Al-Dora crude oil for gasoline only. While the opposite happens with Kerosene and gas oil. Finally , It was conclude that the viscosity, molecular weight and refractive index of Al-Dora crude oil products were higher than that of the products of Al-Ahdab crude oil. It was found also that the viscosity of cuts for Al-Dora and Al- Ahdab crude is increase because kerosene is more viscous (heavy cut) than gasoline. Also gas oil is more viscous than gasoline and kerosene.
