Compact fuel processors based on steam reforming process using natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and biogas have been developed for over a decade in order to offer the fuel gas (hydrogen) into the combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell systems for cogeneration of electricity and heat. Numerical modelling of a steam reforming reactor described by fully coupled mass, energy and flow equations was developed in this paper by using the Finite Element Method (FEM) based Comsol Multiphysics software version 5.2...

The emergence and development of the internal combustion engine began in the 18-th century in England. But the first patent for a piston engine with compression ignition was achieved by Rudolf Diesel in year 1892 [1]. The engine use coal powder as fuel. The most used vegetable oil as a fuel and peanut oil. In the year 1859 in Pennsylvania was first released at the amount of crude oil that has been refined for kerosene and gasoline. Because a large quantity of by-products remained unused, Rudolf Diesel using a frac...
