'Miracle' a mix of water and diesel fuel - innovation of Nmiracle Power (Pvt.) Ltd
They add 60 percent value on diesel mixed with water and in combustion of this fuel, hydrogen derived from water molecules is burnt and the oxygen emitted is used to burn hydro carbon. Further its carbon emission is 75 percent lower plain diesel.
They are an export oriented company which is planing to export into many countries including Maldives, Cambodia, Vietnam, Germany, Romania and Italy. They also working with Sri lankan government transportation wing CTB to introduce this fuel as transportation fuel of their day today use.

Sub-critical water – Definition
It is an intermediate state of water between normal water and supercritical water. Supercritical water is at a temperature and pressure above its critical point. (temperature >374°C, pressure >221 atm) Subcritical water lies below ranges of the critical points. So simply it is a stage under supercritical water with controlled temperature and pressure according to the requirement of application.
Sub – critical water can be used as a cheap, non-toxic, non-flammable, clean solvent in organic chemical research and even commercial applications.
Following research is example usage of sub-critical water as solvent in hydroxymethylfurfural research.
Research: Dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in sub-critical water over heterogeneous zirconium phosphate catalysts by Feridoun Salak and Hiroyuki Yoshida of Osaka Prefecture University.
(I am try to make definitions for rare scientific terms and need support for improve the quality of this definitions, please send feedbacks to dilantha[at]chempro[dot]org)

Optimization of crude distillation system using aspen plus
Today I found quite rare article on using chemical engineering software package Aspen plus. Four scientists of Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati 781039, India had published a paper on Chemical Engineering Research and Design journal on Optimization of crude distillation system using aspen plus and it is indepth analysis of Effect of binary feed selection on grass-root design. Their primary objective was to provide and build up guidelines available as general rules of thumb for the grass-root design of crude distillation unit (CDU) using binary crude mixtures.
