Impact of variable exhaust valve timing on diesel engine characteristics fueled with waste cooking oil biofuel blends: A numerical analysis

The quantity of the conventional sources of energy such as petroleum, coal, and the deposits of hydrocarbon are limited in nature. The rapid growth is observed in the industrial and transportation section due to increase in population that has compelled the mankind to look for an alternative to conv...
