Experimental study of exhaust emissions and performance of a dual fuel IDI diesel engine by Badr, O.

“…The admission of more gaseous fuel with the intake air increased the engine power, thermal efficiency, and NOx emissions while CO and UHC emissions increased up to the flame initiation limit beyond which they decreased sharply. The experimental results showed higher engine powers and efficiencies, lower CO and UHC emissions, and unfortunately higher NOx emissions and narrower knock-free operating range with employing larger pilot fuel quantifies, advancing the pilot fuel injection timing, and increasing the intake temperature. …”

Development of a Mechanistic and Data-Driven Model for Multiphase Flow Leak Detection in Pipeline by Barooah, Abinash

“…The effect of different pressure constraints, pipe length, pipe diameter, two-phase fluid rheology, leak diameter, leak location, outlet liquid volume fraction, and flowing liquid hold-up on leak size, pressure, and flow rate is analyzed. Decreasing the liquid fraction in the outlet section of the leak leads to a slight increase (6% average) in the inlet mass flow rate and a significant decrease (50% average) in the outlet mass flow rate for fixed pressure constraints, resulting in an increased leak flow rate, pressure, and density. …”
