Effect of Ignition Timing, Equivalence Ratio, and Compression Ratio on the Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Variable Compression Ratio Si Engine using Ethanol-Unleaded Gasoline Blends
This paper investigates the effect of ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends (E0,E10,E25,E35,andE65) computer interfaced, four-stroke single cylinder compression ignition engine. The said engine wasconverted to spark ignition and carburetion to suit ethanol fuel. A suitable provision was provided on theengine to vary the compression ratio thereby making the engine adaptable to operate at lowercompres...
متن کاملPerformance characteristics and analysis of Jatropha oil in multi- cylinder turbocharge Compression Ignition Engine
– The rapidly depleting conventional petroleum resources have promoted research for alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. Among various possible options, fuels derived from triglycerides (vegetable oils/animal fats) present promising ‘‘greener’’ substitutes for fossil fuels. Vegetable oils, due to their agricultural origin, are able to reduce net CO2 emissions to the atmosphere alo...
متن کاملPerformance and emission analysis of hydrogen fueled compression ignition engine with variable water injection timing
The effect of variable water injection timing on performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen fueled compression ignition (HFCI) engine has been investigated and the results are presented in this paper. In this study, water is injected from 20 BTDC to 20 ATDC with injection duration of 20 CA and 40 CA. Hydrogen is injected at the intake port with fixed injection timing from 0 CA to 40 C...
متن کاملPerformance of Pre-heated Cottonseed Oil and Diesel Fuel Blends in a Compression Ignition Engine
Viscosity of vegetable oil is considered a constraint for its use as an alternate fuel for Internal Combustion(IC) engines. In this experimental investigation, the viscosity of cottonseed oil (CSO), which is considered a potential alternate fuel, is reduced by blending it in different proportions with diesel, and its viscosity at various temperatures was analyzed and used as a fuel in a compres...
متن کاملEffect of Biodiesel on the Performance and Combustion Parameters of a Turbocharged Compression Ignition Engine
Direct injection compression ignition engines have proved to be the best option in heavy duty applications like transportation and power generation, but rapid depleting sources of conventional fossil fuels, their rising prices and ever increasing environmental issues are the major concerns. Alternate fuels, particularly biofuels are receiving increasing attention during the last few years. Biod...
