This research focuses on the raw-material management such as fuel of a case study company being a freight forwarder in Chonburi province. The objective is to determine the economic order quantity (EOQ) and the reorder point (ROP) that minimize the total cost of handling. Five forecasting techniques are investigated to predict the future demand and it was found that the time series decomposition was the most suitable method with the least error. At the result of demand forecasting the economic order quantity is 16308.89 liters per time the total cost of handling the fuel tank is 17287.43 baht and there are ordering around 19 times per year. In addition the sensitivity study on demand factors affecting the cost of fuel tank management are also considered in this paper. It was found that 21% of the increased fuel demand brings the total handling cost is 1728.74 baht or increasing 10%. Therefore ordering economically can reduce the total cost of 1295.97 baht or 6.85%. If the company brings the studied results to improve the ordering process it will be able to forecast the order quantity more appropriately and effectively.

According to the research entitled “the innovative engine prototype powered by diesel and LPG as fuel for agricultural” in 2019 the problems found while using the engine were as follows: the accumulated heat in the auxiliary combustion chamber reached 300 C in case of gasoline engine use and a lot of black smoke in the exhaust was found at the speed higher than 1800 rpm in case of a diesel engine use. In order to extend the research and solve two foresaid problems the objectives of this study were 1) to develop an auxiliary combustion chamber for cooling 2) to develop a scalable gas-air mixing device and 3) to compare diesel and LPG consumption rates by modifying a small diesel engine Yanmar version TF120DI to install LPG fuel systems and ignition system. In addition a gas-air mixing device was modified while an auxiliary combustion chamber was developed to reduce the compression ratio to the same level as the gasoline engine for replacing the position of the original diesel fuel injector. This method could support LPG fueling only whose function was characterized by the function of a gasoline engine. The auxiliary combustion chamber could be removed and then installed a diesel injector to return using diesel fuel. From an experiment to compare the modified engine operating as a gasoline engine it was found that the temperature of the auxiliary combustion chamber and the temperature of the engine cylinder head of Honda GX160 were measured at the maximum speed of 182 C and 186 C respectively. It was found that carbon monoxide content was 0.41 % and 1315 ppm hydrocarbons. When used as a diesel engine it was found that the black smoke was exhausted at 1.5 % which was similar to the diesel engine before the modification. From the experiment of using the power engine for pumping water with an Irrigation propeller pump with the diameter of 8 inch at a constant engine speed of 1000 rpm it was found that the average diesel usage was 0.65 kg/hr or about 0.77 L/hr with the cost of 21.00 Baht/hr and if using LPG as fuel the average LPG consumption was 0.57 kg/hr with the cost of 13.71 Baht/hr which could save up to 34.71 % of costs.

Young coconut shells are a byproduct after processing coconut juice which can be used to produce a solid-fuel. This fuel from the coconut shell is an alternative source instead of using firewood or charcoal made of timber in the natural forest. The solid-fuel from young coconut shells was prepared by using a wet glue powder as a binder then was compressed by using a briquette machine. The black coconut briquette was stable after exposure to the sun. The average of the briquette combustion rate was at 11.24 g /min. There is no eruption smut smoke and odor by using the young coconut shell briquette yo start a fire. To sum up a young coconut shell has a high potential as an alternative biomass material for producing a briquette especially for commercial. This solution can increase the reduction of haze weather in the sight of solid waste incineration and also global warming.

The objective of this research is to study the development of eco cars using power-cutting mechanism technique of Transmission System. Two eco cars had been studied. The first car was conducted with the aim of developing transmission system and clutch system by changing from gear drive transmission system and chain drive mechanical clutch to belt and pulley transmission system by new designing the belt and pulley transmission system to have propeller shaft as the device to transmit power from the right to the left side with bearings to help reduce friction. Pulley system and clutch lever were installed in which the newly built clutch can be controlled by driver. The new model of transmission system is weight 0.7 kg which is lighter than the previous weight of 0.8 kg. Based on the first testing by participating in the 22nd Honda Eco Mileage Challenge at Chang International Circuit it was found that the system with belt tension at 1 kN resulted in good performance of transmission system and clutch system with fuel efficiency value at 626.157 km/L. After that the belt tension was adjusted and set up at 1.1 kN for 3 tests at Solar Track Thailand and it was found that the maximum fuel efficiency value was 1061.18 km/L at the speed of 34 km/hr. The second car was improved in transmission system suspension system steering system and also engine. The first trial was experimented on the 22nd racing event at the Chang International Circuit where this fuel efficient prototype car could run at 18 km. The result showed that it could have good mileage which was 275 km/L. After improvement the car was tested again for three times at the Solar Track Thailand circuit where it ran at 16 kilometers. The result revealed that the best saving was equivalent to 613 km/L at the speed of 30.6 km/hr.

The study of the efficiency of fuel consumption by adjusting the fuel injection pressure is basically one optimization method to maximize the engine combustion. In this current study the Honda wave 110 cc. engine has been used to test in particular the fuel injection by adjusting the pressure of injector. To control the pressure of injection was made by automatic valve injectors with three different pneumatic pressure which were 2 2.5 and 3 bars respectively and the similar running distance of 5km. The results showed that at 2 bars the obtained fuel saving was 1020.68 km/L and the speed at 25.23 km/h which corresponded to the highest CO2 emissions during the engine combustion.
