Biodiesel presents a favourable economic outlook and environmental benefits, yet it faces limitations such as diminished calorific value and suboptimal combustion characteristics. Recent research focuses on enhancing biodiesel performance using nanoparticles and thermal barrier coatings. This study investigates non-edible biodiesel from Momordica seed oil, tested on a single-cylinder diesel engine.

The global production of biodiesel in 2023 amounted to 34 billion liters because compression ignition engines need environmentally friendly fuel alternatives. The research investigates Annona biodiesel in combination with machine learning (ML) and STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) technology to enhance power quality along with noise and vibration control in CI engines. Engine performance testing of diesel and B20-20% Annona biodiesel occurs under controlled conditions at rpm from 1200 to 2400 at which point STATCOM implemented both power factor improvement and current harmonic reduction for enhanced power quality.

The research paper mainly deals with waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines (ICE) using the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and Thermoelectric generator (TEG). Simultaneously recovering the wasted heat of both exhaust gases and coolant, a novel configuration named two-stage is proposed. Then a comprehensive thermo-economic analysis and optimization are conducted.

In this article, the optimal design of a novel multi-generation system for the production of electricity, cooling, heat and freshwater is discussed. In this system, a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEM FC) is used to generate electricity, and the heat produced by it is absorbed by the Ejector Refrigeration Cycle (ERC) and used to provide cooling and heating capacity. A reverse osmosis (RO) desalination system is also used to supply freshwater.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
  • Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
  • Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.

Praseodymium forms complexes easily with nitrogen and oxygen donor pyrazolines and also forms mixed ligand complexes with these pyrazolines and sulfur donor thio ligands such as dithiocarbamates and xanthates. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, TGA, SEM, TEM, PXRD and UV-visible spectral measurements. The isotopic studies were performed using DART mass spectrometry.
