1. 1. Decarbonizing Public Bus Transport – a case study on Curitiba, Brazil

   University essay from KTH/Energi och klimatstudier, ECS

   Author : Joana Lena Düllmann Vasques Pereira; [2018]
   Keywords : Battery electric bus; Brazil; Charging station; Curitiba; Greenhouse gas emissions; Opportunity charging; Optimisation; Public transport network; Brasil; Carregamento de oportunidade; Curitiba; Estação de recarga; Gases com efeito de estufa; Ônibus eléctricos a baterias; Otimisação; Sistema de Transporte Público; Batteribuss; Brasilien; Laddstation; Curitiba; Växthusgas utsläpp; Opportunity Charging; optimering; kollektivtrafik;

   Abstract : Air pollution is becoming a major issue in cities across the world, its common cause being the use of fossil fuel combustion engines in both private and collective transport modes. However, alternative technologies, such as biofuels, hybrid and battery electric vehicles, are on the rise. READ MORE

3. 2. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CASTOR BIODIESEL AND PETRO DIESEL BLENDS WITH DIETHYLEETHER ADDITIVE

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

   Author : Feleke Tesfaye; [2016]
   Keywords : Feleke; Tigist; Kalkidan;

   Abstract : The focus of this research was pointed at exploring technical feasibility of castor biodiesel with and without diethyl ether additives in direct injection compression ignition engines without any substantial hardware modifications. In this work, the methyl ester of castor oil with and without additives was investigated for its performance as a diesel engine fuel. READ MORE

4. 3. Virtual Sensors for Combustion Parameters Based on In-Cylinder Pressure

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

   Author : Tobias Johansson; [2015]
   Keywords : CLCC; virtual sensors; combustion parameters; in-cylinder pressure; heat release; heat-release; heavy duty vehicle;

   Abstract : Typically the combustion in engines are open-loop controlled. By using an in-cylinder pressure sensor it is possible to create virtual sensors for closed-loop combustion control (CLCC). With CLCC it is possible to counteract dynamic effects as component ageing, fuel type and cylinder variance. READ MORE

5. 4.   Impact of vehicle exhaust emitted by the combustion of biofuels on human health

   University essay from Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik (SET)

   Author : Luiza Panosyan; [2010]
   Keywords : exhaust; emission; biofuel;

   Abstract :   Introduction: Significant changes in the global ecosystem, together with a potential shortfall in oil resources, have stimulated intense interest in the development of other sources of energy, and most particularly biofuels since these are basically considered to be less harmful to human health than petroleum-based fuels. However, information about the impact of biofuel-derived vehicle emissions on human health is limited and incomplete. READ MORE

6. 5. Analysis of Alternative Fuels in Automotive Powertrains

   University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Andreas Gunnarsson; [2009]
   Keywords : Well-to-wheel analysis; alternative fuel; gasoline; diesel; methanol; ethanol; natural gas; biomethane; synthesis gas; hydrogen; biogas; biodiesel; FT-diesel; DME;

   Abstract : The awareness of the effect emissions have on the environment and climate has risen in the last decades. This has caused strict regulations of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases cause global warming which may have devastating environmental effects. Most of the fuels commercially available today are fossil fuels. READ MORE
