Abstract:The world's rapidly diminishing petroleum supplies, their raising costs and budding danger of environmental pollution have led to an intensive search for an alternative fuels or increasing the efficiency of the available diesel engines. It is a known fact that about 30% of energy supplied to the diesel engine is lost through the coolant and 30% is wasted through friction and exhaust and other losses, thus leaving only 40% of energy utilization for the useful purposes. If this lost heat rejection is reduced, th… Show more
