PERFORMANCE AND EMISSIONS CHARACTERISTICS OF DIESEL ENGINE EQUIPPED WITH COMMON-RAIL FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUELLED WITH JATROPHA OIL/KEROSENE BLENDS

Performance and emissions characteristics of diesel engine equipped with common-rail fuel injection system fuelled with Jatropha oil/kerosene blends

Oil derived from Jatropha is a potential alternative to fossil fuels for Diesel junk headbands phillies engines in Mozambique because it can be cheaper and more easily available than fatty acid methyl ester, though the physical properties, e.g.high viscosity, might be a problem.As an attempt to use Jatropha oil (JO) in Diesel engines, the present s

Impact of mcr-1 on the Development of High Level Colistin Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli

Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 generally confers low-level resistance.The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of mcr-1 on the development of high-level colistin resistance (HLCR) in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.In this study, mcr-1-negative K.pneumoniae and E.coli strains and their corresponding mcr-1-

Experimental characterization of compact fluorescent lamps for harmonic analysis of power distribution systems

The modeling of a compact fluorescent lamp for harmonic analysis under terminal voltage variation is presented in this paper.The compact fluorescent lamp is represented with the diode bridge rectifier model, which is commonly used for harmonic analysis.The set of parameters is estimated for different values of the terminal voltage applied to the la
