An Improvement of Lean Combustion Characteristics of Heavy-Hydrocarbon Fuels with Hydrogen Addition.

Combustion and Emissions Characteristics of Biodiesel Fuels

Oxidation and Ignition Characteristics of Hydrocarbon Fuels

A research program studying the oxidation and ignition characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels has been conducted. The program was initiated in October 1985 with the awarding of a research grant through the Army Research Office (Grant No. DAAG 29-85-K-0253, Project No. 22437-EG) and ran through November 1989. The research program entailed mechanistic studies examining the oxidation chemistry of si...

The effect of hydrogen and nitrogen addition on heavy duty diesel engine emissions under reactivity controlled compression ignition combustion

The aim of this study is to evaluate a heavy duty diesel engine operation under reactivity controlled compression ignition combustion fueled with diesel oil and natural gas enriched with hydrogen and nitrogen addition. In this study, a single cylinder heavy– duty diesel engine is set to operate at 9.4bar gross IMEP (Mid- Load). The amount of injected diesel oil per cycle into the engine combust...

Hydrogen as Aviation Fuel: a Comparison with Hydrocarbon Fuels

Depletion of fossil fuels and environmental considerations have led engineers and scientists to anticipate the need to develop a clean, renewable and sustainable energy system. In general, they agree that in such a system hydrogen will be used as an energy carrier. One of the areas in which hydrogen will be replacing fossil fuels is air transportation, an area that has been under research for s...

Improving the combustion and emission characteristics of ISM 370 diesel engine by hydrogen addition and redesigning injection strategy

Hydrogen fuel is the cleanest fuel available. This fuel can be used as an additive in the diesel engine. Diesel engines have the advantages of strong power, high thermal efficiency and low fuel costs. There have been extensive studies on the use of hydrogen fuel in diesel engines in recent years. However, the simultaneous effect of using gaseous hydrogen fuel and changing injection strategy nee...
