Efficiency is a vital factor in diesel engines in terms of environmental protection and sustainability. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of diesel engines by using various additives is an important research topic. In this context, 8 different fuel types were created by adding 10 % biodiesel, 50 ppm nanoboron (nanoboron particle size 20 nm) and hydrogen (18 % of the energy consumption of Diesel/B10 fuels was replaced) to diesel fuel in the current study. A heavy-duty diesel engine was operated at a constant engine speed of 650 rpm and a torque of 200 Nm using these eight fuel types. As a result of the experiments, diesel fuel with 50 ppm nanoboron added produced the highest efficiency among all fuel types with a thermal efficiency value of 28.837 %. In the experiments carried out with standard diesel (D) fuel, when the thermal efficiency values obtained were compared with D_50ppmB and D_H2 fuels, an efficiency increase of 1.95 % and 0.19 % was achieved, respectively. On the other hand, when compared with B10_50ppmB, B10_H2, B10, B10_50ppmB_H2 and D_50ppmB_H2 fuels, an efficiency decrease of 0.99 %, 2.66 %, 2.75 %, 3.53 % and 5.38 % was attained, respectively. 50 ppm nano boron addition to pure diesel increased the NO emission rate by 3.15 %. On the contrary, a significant decrease was observed in NO emission when hydrogen was used with all fuel types. For example, the NO emission value, which was 3.62 g/kWh in the use of pure diesel, decreased by 32.6 % and dropped to 2.44 g/kWh in the d-H2 mixture. In addition, it was observed that the NOx emission value, which was 3.60 g/kWh when B10 (90 % diesel + 10 % biodiesel) fuel was used, decreased by 29.72 % to 2.53 g/kWh when B10_H2 fuel was used. The most important findings of this study are that the nanoparticle additive increased thermal efficiency and reduced CO emissions. In this study, the combustion of diesel, biodiesel, hydrogen and nanoboron fuels in various combinations was investigated. It is thought that this quaternary fuel mixture significantly contributed to the literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermofluids","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 101232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891314","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}

Balancing quality, throughput, and energy consumption requires understanding mechanisms and considering the effort and effect of individual practical use cases. This study uses Monte Carlo simulations of a physics-based model to assess dehydration and identify ideal optimization measures from a base case. Reducing slice thickness from 5 mm to 2 mm cuts drying time by 62 % while preserving 220 % more β-carotene, making it the most effective optimization strategy. The effects on the throughput of fresh produce (+6 %) and energy consumption (+6 %) are negligible. To reduce energy consumption, it proves beneficial to reduce the airspeed from 1.8 m/s to 0.6 m/s - a 35 % reduction. However, this adjustment results in a 77 % drop in carotene retention and a 48 % reduction in throughput. Increased carotene retention (+39 %) and throughput (+28 %) can be achieved by increasing the airspeed from 1.8 m/s to 3 m/s. However, this improvement requires 30 % more energy. Given these trade-offs, it is essential to consider the constraints imposed by the production environment and situation.

In this study, we perform detailed numerical simulations of flow and scalar transport within the intersection of two smooth, planar fractures. The analysis focuses on the mixing ratio, the proportion of solute flux exiting along the outlet branch aligned with the primary inlet flow direction, relative to the total solute flux at the outlets. We systematically investigate how the mixing ratio varies with four key parameters: Peclet number, Reynolds number, flow rate ratio between outlet branches, and fracture intersection angle. Results show that the mixing ratio decreases with increasing Peclet number and outlet flow rate ratio, consistent with reduced diffusive spreading and enhanced streamline routing. While low Reynolds numbers have minimal impact, inertial effects at higher Reynolds numbers significantly increase the mixing ratio. Additionally, acute and obtuse intersection angles alter flow partitioning and modify the solute distribution at the outlets. These findings provide a quantitative basis for incorporating physically realistic mixing behavior—intermediate between complete mixing and streamline-following assumptions—into network-scale transport models.
