A parallel study of the radical copper enzyme galactose oxidase (GOase) and a low mol. wt. analog of the active site was performed with dynamic d. functional and mixed quantum-classical calcns. This combined approach enables a direct comparison of the prop ...
Nowadays, most of the natural gas conversion systems available on the market for bifuel vehicles are based on the venturi principle or on the continuous injection principle for the carburation of the engine. Even if the driveability of these systems is sat ...
The Swiss limit for NOx exhaust gas emissions from decentralised electrical power and heat cogeneration units using stationary I.C. engines operating on natural gas, despite a recent increase from 80 to 250 mg/mN3 (5% O2), remains the most severe in force ...
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF NATURAL GAS VEHICLES The natural gas vehicle (NGV) presents one of the few options to current automobile related environmental problems that is both feasible with today’s technology and commercially viable. NGV technology is not ...
Gaseous fuels produced, for example, by waste or agricultural by-products fermentation (biogas) can be burned in-situ by cogeneration systems like spark- ignition internal combustion engines. However, the more and more stringent legislation for exhaust gas ...
In order to determine the origin of the CO emissions from a cogeneration spark ignition engine fuelled with a lean natural gas-air mixture, the influence of several combustion chamber parameters have been measured in detail. In an attempt to interpret the ...
The object of this work is to test the unscavenged prechamber ignition system on a 150 kW cogeneration engine feed with biogas. The engine performances in term of fuel conversion efficiency are observed and the reduction potential f the exhaust emissions b ...
A parallel study of the radical-copper enzyme Galactose Oxidase (GOase) and a low mol. wt. analog of the active site (Wang et. al. , Science 279, 537 (1998)) was performed with dynamical d. functional and mixed quantum-classical (QM/MM) calcns. This combin ...
The analysis of natural hydraulic networks over a wide range of scales,:allowed by modem digital mapping technology, reveals extraordinary diversity of natural forms, and yet deep regularity and symmetry, regardless of geology, climate, vegetation or expos ...
A medium size diesel engine converted to natural gas operation on the Otto principle has been studied under stoichiometric and lean burn operation in order to evaluate the potential to reduce the NOX exhaust gas emissions below the stringent limit prescrib ...
