Experimental Studies Of Spray And Combustion Characteristics Of Biomass Derived Fuels In A Constant Volume Combustion Chamber

Concern with fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation promotes the use of renewable energy sources in particular biomass derived fuel for automotive and power generation applications. In this study, spray characteristics of Refined Palm Oil (RPO) were studied in a Constant Volume Combusti...
