Go to Editorial ManagerThe consequence of mixing pure ethanol with gasoline on the pollution and performance of SI engine are investigated experimentally in the existent study. The SI engine that employed in the experiment is a single cylinder four stroke. Analysis is carried out for engine operation parameter, CO2, CO and unburned HC productions. The measurements are recorded for several engine speeds from 1500 – 3000 rpm with load and ethanol addition of (0E, 10E, 20E, 30E, 40E, 50E,). The results displayed increasing in brake power, and brake thermal efficiency while the brake specific fuel consumption decreases when the ethanol- gasoline blends fuel increases. Also it was found that CO, HC, and CO2 concentrations decrease when the ethanol- gasoline increases. The best results obtained in the study is for the blend of E-50.
This work deals with treatment ofused lubricant oils whichare accumulate from automotive engine, bythermal conversion process. The used lubricant oil for two samples is fractionated by the atmospheric distillation device into fractions, (waste oil liquids and residue). Which are carried out at atmospheric pressure and temperature up to 350 ºC._x000D_ The conversion which was obtained from these fractions was (92 and95) % respectively for these two samples._x000D_ The fractionated waste oil liquids products fromatmospheric distillationdeviceare fractionated alsoto light fractions (gasoline, kerosene, gas oil) and residue for these two samples at atmospheric pressure according to their boiling point.These fractions for these two samples are also distillated inatmospheric distillation device, in order to calculatesome important physical and chemical properties (Mean average boiling point, specific gravity, flash point, aniline point, smoke point, molecular weight) of these fractions, to comparison with standardphysical and chemical properties, alsostudying the possibilities of industrial uses for these fractions._x000D_ The yield of gas oil for the first samplein waste lubricant oilisabout 50%, more than gasoline 15% and kerosene 30%from 100 ml of treatment waste lubricant oil, and more identical curve from gasoline and kerosene curve._x000D_ Also for the second sample, the yield of gas oil is the largest quantity 43%fromtheyield of gasoline 15% and yield of kerosene 35% from 200 ml of treatment waste lubricant oil, and more identical curve with kerosene from gasoline curve.
A tack coat is a minimal coating of asphalt cement, cut-back asphalt, or asphalt emulsion to an existing pavement surface between layers to guarantee proper bonding between the two layers and longitudinal and transverse joints. Numerous researchers have assessed interlayer adhesion employing failure-mode behavior tests, such as pull-off, direct shear, and torsion testing. This study aims to quantify the best tensile resistance obtained using three types of cutback asphalt (RC70, RC800 modified with polymer 4.5% & MC70). All are applied on concrete surfaces at a rate of 0.5 L/m². The Proceq DYNA Z16 pull–off tester is used to measure the tensile strength at a rate of 0.25 kN/s. It is found that the average tensile strength of the tack coat materials is (0.319, 0.138, 0.028) MPa, respectively. It is concluded that RC70 has the maximum tensile strength. Also, the different types of solvent affect adhesion strengths; RC70 was Prepared using gasoline, while MC70 used petroleum. Gasoline has greater volatility and thus increased adhesion. Failure strength modes of interior bonding varied between cohesive failure adhesive and adhesive failure.
