    Oil remains the world’s leading fuel, accounting for a third of global energy consumption. Global oil consumption growth averaged 1.6 million barrels per day (Mb/d). The demand of energy is increasing with every passing year. The present work focuses on improving system performance. Viscosity is dominant property of the fuel oil which plays a vital role in the quality of combustion process thereby enhancing the system performance. Viscosity is measured for gasoline of grade MG (Motor Gasoline) 91 flowing under the influence of magnetic field applied. Permanent magnets of 3000 Gauss are employed on fuel line. Viscosity of the hydrocarbon fuels is investigated with increasing number of magnetic pairs on fuel line. (1 Pair, 2 Pair, 3 Pairs of magnets applied on fuel flow line) at different positions viz. inlet, center and exit position on fuel line. Test was carried at different locations of the fuel line. These tests help to determine the exact location where magnets need to be placed to achieve maximum drop in the viscosity of hydrocarbon fuel. Experimental results have shown 23% reduction in viscosity of gasoline when the magnets are placed at center of fuel line.

  • Experimental analysis of magnetic field effects on compressor energy saving cooling system
    Rakesh Kumar Sidheshware, S Ganesan, Virendra K Bhojwani
    E3s Web of Conferences, 2020
    A research on different refrigerants with and without influence of the magnetic field is provided in this paper. The magnetic field degree viz is four gauss. The condenser exit row was 3000, 6000, 9000 and 12000 gauss. Magnetic fields at condenser exit lines are found to reduce the consumption of the compressor energy. Through applying magnet fields on R134a, compressor energy savings was observed up to 1.35%, 6.23%, 5.40% and 4.19%, respectively, in gauss levels of 3000, 6000, 9000 and 12000, while R152a savings in energy levels were up 13.10%, 15.59% and 25.86% and R407a saving in power up to 7.3%, 9.19%, 13.05% and 12.40%. The coolant R152a saves energy in contrast to other coolant compressors. As the magnetic field strength increases, a vapor refrigeration system decreases the energy consumption of the compressor.
  • Enhancement of internal combustion engine efficiency by magnetizing fuel in flow line for better charge combustion

    Heat Transfer Research, 2020
    The market of petroleum fuel increases through global competence each decade. The first is through the search for new energy reserve tools and the second through the performance improvement of current energy consuming apparatuses. There are two ways to respond. The work currently focuses on the second way to enhance system performance by magnetizing petrol fuel. Magnetization directly affects the viscosity of fuel, i.e., declusterization of fuel molecules and forms smaller molecules. These hydrocarbon molecules have wider exposure to oxygen molecules during carburation which leads to a better combustion process. The critical positioning of magnets also plays an important role. The test was carried out with magnetized fuel to monitor the performance of a four-stroke petrol engine in the heat balance sheet and resulted in a 23% reduction in fuel viscosity. As a result, there was an increase in the mechanical efficiency of petrol engine by 4% along with 33.04% and 23.73% reduction in CO and HC emission, respectively.
