When operating this new swirl measurement system, it was confirmed that the characteristics of the intake air flow rate to the cylinders were similar to those of a typical operating engine condition. When the valve lift was limited to the cam angle range of 160 to 200 (the valve lift is maximized at a cam angle of 180°), the flow coefficient Cf increased as the cam angle increased under a constant camshaft rotation speed. Moreover, as the rotation speed of the camshaft increased, the Cf value decreased slightly. The swirl ratio NR in the cam angle range of 160 to 200 showed a nearly constant value with an increase of the cam angle at a constant camshaft rotation speed. There were also no significant changes in Cf with an increase in the camshaft rotation speed. NR measurement results while changing the camshaft rotation speed cannot be obtained by the traditional impulse swirl measurement method. NR measurement results with the new swirl measurement system can be used as basic data when calculating spray dispersion characteristics considering the engine rotation speed.","PeriodicalId":38652,"journal":{"name":"ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140231885","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}

As a result, this research focuses on combining conventional generation with distributed generation, each of which can be used independently. For both industrial and residential electricity suppliers, providing a secure, continuous, and safe electrical supply is a critical necessity. As we progress toward a more sustainable approach to generating electricity (both renewable and nuclear) from the currently prevalent non-renewable sources, a hybrid supply system is an intermediate phase. This project aims to simulate a three-phase power plant that incorporates a conventional steam turbine and a DC-AC inverter generation device powered by solar to produce a total of 100kW of power with a power factor of 1. The input torque to the synchronous generator and the DC voltage to the distributed system vary depending on the output power potential of each system. Both devices achieve a constant voltage at the load. When the two systems work independently, the voltages produced by both are in phase and have the same amplitude.","PeriodicalId":38652,"journal":{"name":"ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234369","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}

Soybean oil undergoes the process of transesterification to be used as a biofuel. It was mixed with commercially available diesel fuel upon testing in the diesel engine. The mixture contained 90% diesel fuel and 10% transesterified soybean oil. After testing, the performance of the diesel engine was measured. Transesterified soybean oil was feasible to use as a fuel according to the testing conducted. However, some improvements must have been made to increase the brake thermal efficiency.

Established geostatistical algorithms based on kriging exist for the estimation of scalar spatial variables such as porosity and permeability. This may not be suitable for the estimation of distributions of properties, such as grain size, whose whole distribution varies spatially. The current conventional approach is to fit a normal or log-normal distribution to the available data, and then to estimate the parameters of the distribution, the mean and standard deviation, spatially using kriging, taking care to consider any dependence between the mean and standard deviation. The assumption that all the grain size distributions can be approximated by a single distribution type is unsatisfactory, since datasets have very different-looking distributions, with variations in skewness, kurtosis, and modality. This paper presents an alternative approach that can handle significant variability in the distribution shape by separating the distribution into bins, like a histogram, and treating these bins as percentages in a composition. Compositional data needs to be mapped onto a simplex to overcome spurious correlations between those components, in addition, spatial estimation methods for compositional data have already been developed. However, the contribution to this field is the mapping of continuous data from distributions into a composition that enables the compositional kriging method to predict distributions at new locations. Moreover, the results showed the prediction distributions in the presence of varying modality, skewness, and kurtosis. Therefore, the grain size datasets in this paper have been working with the confidentiality restrictions so it explains the technique with a dataset of population ages from the US census 2010 for the state of Texas, which shows similar variability in distribution.","PeriodicalId":38652,"journal":{"name":"ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140250908","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}
