The combustion chamber pressure of rockets, gas turbines and diesel engines is known to be above the critical pressure of fuel and oxidizers. In the case of rocket engines the fuel and/or oxidizer is often injected at cryogenic temperatures. This elevated combustion chamber pressure and low temperature demands special treatment for numerical analysis of mixing. Thus a novel implementation of an improved equation of state has been proposed which provides better estimation of densities. Experimental and numerical data from literature has been used for validation of the analysis methodology.

The dataset includes vibration signatures from both healthy and faulty main journal bearings of an internal combustion engine, captured with a tri-axial accelerometer mounted on the bearings' housing. The engine was exposed to various climatic and operating conditions, including variations in temperature and humidity, and tested at different engine rotation speeds, following a standard, MIL-STD-810G. The data was collected in a state-of-the-art climatic and vibration chamber to simulate real-world environmental conditions.

This investigation presents extensive computational analyses of the compressible flow near ramp injector with double circular injectors at supersonic combustor of scramjet engine. Comparison of the fuel mixing and fuel jet penetration of hydrogen jet are done for two injector configurations at free stream Mach number of 2. The simulation of the supersonic flow near ramp injector is done via solving RANS equations with computational fluid dynamic technique.

Cooking fuels are sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are persistent in the environment and have detrimental effects on human health. Fifteen PCBs congeners from the smoke of eight (8) commonly used cooking fuels in Nigeria were investigated in this study. Glass fiber filters were used to collect air emissions during the combustion of cooking fuels in a controlled chamber.

This study explores the integration of nanotechnology and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) machine learning algorithms to enhance the understanding and optimization of fuel spray dynamics in compression ignition (CI) engines with varying bowl geometries. The incorporation of nanotechnology, through the addition of nanoparticles to conventional fuels, improves fuel atomization, combustion efficiency, and emission control. Simultaneously, LSTM models are employed to analyze and predict the complex spray behavior under diverse operational and geometric conditions.
