Modelling the performance of aero-gas turbine engine using algae-based biofuel with emission prediction

The world oil consumption is at the peak where the fuel price is insubstantial and can increase dramatically due to economic, social, and political factors and unprecedented stability. Since fuel resources are scarce, it is an urgent need to find alternative fuel. Biofuel is one of the favorable cho...
