Diesel plays a significant role in the energy consumption in most developing countries. It serves as a source of power for the transportation, agricultural and industrial sectors. Diesel is one of the product of the petroleum, being utilised in all types of compression ignition engines as fuel. Hence, the need for reformer tank to manage proper waste is needed to avoid economical loss and environmental damage. The utilisation of reformer tanks in the management of waste energy is of economic and environmental advantage to the nation. This paper presents the use of feedback linearization and back-stepping methods to control the nonlinear reformers tanks in order to achieve robust control and stabilisation of the diesel. The model was transformed to a motion control model and the efficiency of the suggested algorithm was tested. The result showed that the back-stepping controller design is satisfactory not only for the tracking performance but also for the determination of the stability region.

Publication presents the new method of determining the cetane number of fuels used for feeding compression ignition engines. CN determination is done by spectrum analysis in spectro-photometer and by calculations of mathematical models. The check tests were carried out on more than ten derv samples. The obtained CN values were compared with the values of this parameter obtained according to norm PN-EN ISO 5165 in trustworthy laboratories. Subsequently the conclusions were drawn on the possibilities of applying the analyzer for determination of this parameter
