  • Performance and Emission Characteristics of Biodiesel Using with Tamanu Oil in Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684, p-ISSN: 2320-334X PP 55-60 www.iosrjournals.org Performance and Emission Characteristics of Biodiesel using with Tamanu Oil in Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Murugan K, Udhayakumar K Internal Combustion Engg, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University College of Engineering Villupuram , Villupuram 605103, India [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: Tamanu oil (calophyllum inophyllum oil), a non-edible vegetable oil is native for northward of northenmarians islands and the ryukyu island in sarthen japan and westward throughout Polynesia. It has remained as an untapped new possible source of alternative fuel that can used in diesel engine. The present work examined the use of a Tamanu oil, a new possible source of alternative fuel for direct injection diesel engine. The blend of 20% Tamanu oil with 80% diesel can be used in unmodified diesel engine. The Brake thermal efficiency increases the engine. The emission like CO and HC and NOx emission reduced. Key words: Tamanu oli, Performance, Emission. I. INTRODUCTION: Our economy and lifestyle rely on the use of fossil resources for the transportation fuels and materials; however there has been rising concern over their cost, sustained availability, and impact on global warming and pollution [1]. This has led to a search for technologies that generate fuels and materials from renewable carbon sources, such as plant biomass. Depending on the component of the biomass used as feedstock and the technology employed to transform component into desired product, at least three general platforms have been envisioned: the sugar [2], synthesis gas [3], and oil [4] platforms.

  • Carrier Oil Guide
    CARRIER OIL GUIDE 1 RAE DUNPHY AROMATICS CARRIER OIL GUIDE INTRODUCTION Essential Oils are extremely concentrated and should always be diluted prior to use on the skin. This is commonly done by diluting them in a carrier oil (also known as a base oil). These oils are usually created from cold-pressing vegetable matter, seeds or nuts. Cold- pressing involves temperatures of 60C and below, so the desired chemical compounds are largely unaffected. We recommend using high-quality carrier oils that have been cold- pressed so that they retain the desired vitamins and nutrients. Refined oils will have components that deteriorate quickly removed to give them a longer shelf-life however, this process will also take out some of those desired chemical components as well. All carrier oils are perishable, so it is important to store them away from light in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended to extend shelf life. There are three main categories of base oils: Basic Fixed Oils - These oils are light, pale and have little aroma. These properties make them great for use on the face and body neat. Examples: Sweet Almond & Grapeseed Macerated Oils – These oils are best described as plant extracts as they are created by adding chopped up parts of the plant to a large vat of carrier oil. This mixture is agitated and then exposed to sunlight, allowing the fat-soluble nutrients to transfer to the oil. The mixture is then filter of all the organic matter. Examples: Carrot & Calendula Specialist Fixed Oils – These oils are darker, thicker and heavier.

It’s so soft and permeable that it absorbs everything in their surroundings. As a result, they can’t survive in toxic environments. Scientists even study them to monitor pollution levels. Our skin is thicker than frogs, but we live in toxic environments filled with free radicals, questionable air quality, and Twitter trolls. Even the thickest skin needs to take care of itself. When we wash our faces, our pores are at their most dilated and permeable, like a frog’s. This stage of your skincare routine is essential to your skin’s health and the rest of your beauty regime. We use bioactive ingredients that give positive results—nothing toxic, nothing irritating. It’s what thick and thin skin needs, when it needs it.

Her skin was congested from years of applying sunscreen and sweaty 10-mile runs. With over 10 years of buying, trying, and face washing, there wasn’t a wash she hadn’t tried. Not one of them managed to clean her skin properly. After talking to friends and strangers, she realized she wasn’t alone.

  • Vanuatu Tamanu Oil – a South Pacific “Win” for “Skin”
    VANUATU TAMANU OIL – A SOUTH PACIFIC “WIN” FOR “SKIN” World wide, ancient cultures have discovered natural remedies from the materials available to them. The Melanesian people of Vanuatu are no different. Since Vanuatu’s earliest days, the oil extracted from the nut of the sacred Tamanu tree (known scientifically as Calophyllum Inophyllum) has been used for its wonderful curative and regenerative properties of the skin. The Tamanu Nut Tree The Tamanu nut, from which oil of Tamanu Oil is made, can only be harvested twice per year. Once the nut is harvested, it must be left to cure for 6 to 8 weeks. After this process has been successfully completed, the oil can be extracted through cold pressing. Its extraordinary properties have resulted in it being called “Green Gold” of the “Sacred Oil Of Tamanu”. This sacred oil has a rich and long history, but earlier in 1918, French Pharmacopoeia found the oil so powerful in its curative properties that they conducted research and clinical testing topically, orally, and by injection. Tamanu Oil In 1928, Sister Marie-Suzanne, a missionary of the the Society of Mary, tested Tamanu’s medicinal properties. She used it effectively to treat leprosy and discovered in 1934 that it had analgesic (a substance that relieves pain) along with sedative properties. More recent studies prove the medicinal and cosmetic value of pure Tamanu oil. For example:- 1. Sc Glucan in Tamanu Oil provides natural UV protection. Sc Glucan protects against UV-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress as a new biological UV filter with a SPF18-22 in ophthalmic preparations.
