The article was published in Elsevier-Journal of Renewable Energy (Scopus), Vol. 149 / April 2020 with IF = 6.274

ISSN : 0960-1481

Summary about the research:

The improvement of combustion and harmful emissions reduction has been driven by multiple factors; alternative fuels can be one of the important factors. In this study, Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) and Ethanol- RME-Diesel blend are used as an alternative fuels in a single cylinder diesel engine. The impact of alternative fuel on particulate matter (PM) characteristics and gaseous emissions were studied.

“Effect of renewable fuel and injection strategies on combustion characteristics and gaseous emissions in diesel engines”

The article was published in Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects (Scopus/Taylor & Francis), Vol. 42 / 2020 with IF = 1.184, ISSN: 1556-7036, ISSUe: 4

Summary about the research:

Renewable fuels and injection strategies can both provide cleaner combustion and more efficient internal combustion (IC) engines. The effect of fuel injection strategi (injection timings and pressures) and renewable fuel (B20) on engine performance, and gaseous emissions have been studied in this experimental work.

“Evaluation of aging and performance of grid-connected photovoltaic system northern Oman: seven years’ experimental study”

The article was published in Elsevier-Journal of Solar Energy (Scopus) and (Web of Science), Vol. 207 / 1 September 2020 with IF = 4.608

Summary about the research:

In this paper, performance evaluation of the grid-connected PV system is presented — the system installed in Sohar University northern Oman. The GCPV system secondly data collected from October 2012 till September 2019 (seven years). However, data is bulky, so that converted to minutes’ average. The measured data used to evaluate the performance technically taken into consideration system aging. Furthermore, power, energy, yield, and efficiencies calculated. The results showed that the use of GCPV systems in the Sohar region is very successful in terms of the limited aging of the system and its long-term viability with appropriate efficiency.
