Many of them come with a reference so that the interested reader can go deeper. The terms are translated into the Hungarian, German, and Slovak language, as Central and Eastern Europe is a growing community very much engaged in combustion activities. Relevant expressions were selected, ranging from laboratory applications to large-scale boilers, from experimental research such as spectroscopy to computer simulations, and from fundamentals to novel developments such as CO2 sequestration and polygeneration. Thereby, students, scientists, technicians and engineers will benefit from this book, which can serve as a handy aid both for academic researchers and practitioners in the field. This book is the 2nd edition. The first edition was written by the author together with Harald Holzapfel, Tomás Suchý, Pál Szentannai and Franz Winter in 2009. The publisher was ProcessEng Engineering GmbH (ISBN: 978-3902655011). Their contribution is acknowledged. Recommended textbook on combustion: Maximilian Lackner, Árpád B.

  • Tackling Fuel Laundering
    12 Tackling Fuel Laundering 12.1 In 2015, €2.6 billion was collected by the Revenue Commissioners (Revenue) in excise duty on mineral oils in the form of mineral oil tax and carbon tax. This represents almost half (47%) of the total excise duty of €5.5 billion collected by Revenue in that year. 12.2 All taxes are subject to risk of fraud and evasion. In the case of mineral oils, fuel ‘launderers’ use techniques to remove markers from the fuel making the use of sight tests ineffective for detecting the illegal use of fuel. By removing the marker, fuel that is subject to a lower rate of excise duty and VAT can be sold on as fuel with a higher sale price. 12.3 Revenue has introduced a number of initiatives as part of a Mineral Oils Strategy implemented in 2011 to combat the illicit fuel market and fuel laundering in Ireland. 12.4 This report examines . the actions taken by Revenue in recent years to tackle the issue of fuel laundering . the cost to the State in taxes forgone as a result of fuel laundering. Excise duty 12.5 There are three categories of excisable products - mineral oils, alcohol and alcoholic beverages, and manufactured tobacco products. Excise duties are also chargeable on certain premises or activities (for example, betting and licences for retailing of liquor).1 Figure 12.1 shows the excise receipts related to mineral oils as a proportion of the total excise duty collected for the period 2010 to 2015. Annex A provides a detailed breakdown of the excise duty collected between 2010 and 2015.

  • Certain Investigations Regarding Variable Physical Constants
    IJRRAS 6 (1) ● January 2011 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol6Issue1/IJRRAS_6_1_03.pdf CERTAIN INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING VARIABLE PHYSICAL CONSTANTS 1 2 3 Amritbir Singh , R. K. Mishra & Sukhjit Singh 1 Department of Mathematics, BBSB Engineering College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India 2 & 3 Department of Mathematics, SLIET Deemed University, Longowal, Sangrur, Punjab, India. ABSTRACT In this paper, we have investigated details regarding variable physical & cosmological constants mainly G, c, h, α, NA, e & Λ. It is easy to see that the constancy of G & c is consistent, provided that all actual variations from experiment to experiment, or method to method, are due to some truncation or inherent error. It has also been noticed that physical constants may fluctuate, within limits, around average values which themselves remain fairly constant. Several attempts have been made to look for changes in Plank‟s constant by studying the light from quasars and stars assumed to be very distant on the basis of the red shift in their spectra. Detail Comparison of concerned research done has been done in the present paper. Keywords: Fundamental physical constants, Cosmological constant. A.M.S. Subject Classification Number: 83F05 1. INTRODUCTION We all are very much familiar with the importance of the 'physical constants‟, now in these days they are being used in all the scientific calculations. As the name implies, the so-called physical constants are supposed to be changeless. It is assumed that these constants are reflecting an underlying constancy of nature. Recent observations suggest that these fundamental Physical Constants of nature may actually be varying. There is a debate among cosmologists & physicists, whether the observations are correct but, if confirmed, many of our ideas may have to be rethought.

  • Variable Planck's Constant
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 29 January 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202101.0612.v1 Variable Planck’s Constant: Treated As A Dynamical Field And Path Integral Rand Dannenberg Ventura College, Physics and Astronomy Department, Ventura CA [email protected] Abstract. The constant ħ is elevated to a dynamical field, coupling to other fields, and itself, through the Lagrangian density derivative terms. The spatial and temporal dependence of ħ falls directly out of the field equations themselves. Three solutions are found: a free field with a tadpole term; a standing-wave non-propagating mode; a non-oscillating non-propagating mode. The first two could be quantized. The third corresponds to a zero-momentum classical field that naturally decays spatially to a constant with no ad-hoc terms added to the Lagrangian. An attempt is made to calibrate the constants in the third solution based on experimental data. The three fields are referred to as actons. It is tentatively concluded that the acton origin coincides with a massive body, or point of infinite density, though is not mass dependent. An expression for the positional dependence of Planck’s constant is derived from a field theory in this work that matches in functional form that of one derived from considerations of Local Position Invariance violation in GR in another paper by this author. Astrophysical and Cosmological interpretations are provided. A derivation is shown for how the integrand in the path integral exponent becomes Lc/ħ(r), where Lc is the classical action. The path that makes stationary the integral in the exponent is termed the “dominant” path, and deviates from the classical path systematically due to the position dependence of ħ.

  • Experimental Study of the Bio-Additives in Biodiesel Fuel on Performance and Emissions Characteristics of Diesel Engine
    EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE BIO-ADDITIVES IN BIODIESEL FUEL ON PERFORMANCE AND EMISSIONS CHARACTERISTICS OF DIESEL ENGINE. SYAHRUNNIZA BIN ABD HADI A project report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Master Degree of Mechanical Engineering with Honors Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia JULY 2015 v ABSTRACT Among the alternative fuels the Bio diesel is one the most common and familiar to all. It’s biodegradable, environment friendly as well as suitable source, to meet the future energy crises. The main concern of this experimental analysis is to reach a tentative goal, how this fuel can be utilised with maximum effective way. To find this ,an experiment data analysis of different parameter such as break power, break mean effective pressure consumption, emission characteristic (NOx, HC,CO. etc.), is done through bio diesel fuel and also compared with ordinary diesel which is also known as standard diesel. Despite years of improvement attempts, the key issue in using bio based fuels is oxidation stability, stoichiometric point, bio-fuel composition, antioxidants on the degradation and much oxygen with comparing to diesel gas oil. Thus, the improvement of emission exhausted from diesel engines fuelled by biodiesel is urgently required to meet the future stringent emission regulations. This investigation is carried out through 20 HP eddy current dynamometer and load cell arrangement which is controlled by a DYNOMAXtm software computer in case of finding the break power and BMEP respectively. And the emission characteristics are observed using Airrex HG-540 exhaust analysers finally the result is compared with diesel engine which is run by standard diesel.
