An Introduction to Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Frictional Losses And Lubricant Properties Affecting Fuel Economy – Part I
This paper examines sources and contributions of friction in heavy-duty diesel engines. Current and past work done on the characterization of diesel engine friction will be reviewed. It is also a goal to analyze each component system from a basic mechanics viewpoint highlighting some of the key friction producing phenomena. Different regimes of lubricated friction will be illustrated using a ge...
متن کاملInvestigation of Dual Fuel Diesel Engine With Particular Reference to Engine Cycle Model
In order to use gaseous fuels in Diesel Engines, Dual-Fuel Diesel Engine (D. F. D. E) the pilot injection approach is chosen. To predict its performance, an engine cycle model, based on limited-pressure Diesel cycle, is constructed. The model predicts D. F. D. E performance with LPG, and CNG gases. Comparing with pure Diesel engine, by increasing gas proportion in dual-fuel, indicated power and...
متن کاملThe effect of a novel hybrid nano-catalyst in diesel-biodiesel fuel blends on the energy balance of a diesel engine
In internal combustion engines, only about a third of the total fuel input energy is converted into useful work. If the energy rejected into the cooling system and the exhaust gases could be recovered instead and put into useful work, fuel economy would have been substantially improved. The main aim of this research paper was to evaluate the effects of the hybrid nano-catalyst containing ce...
متن کاملCharacteristics of fish oil biodiesel with the impact of diesel fuel addition on a CI engine
The present study focuses on the optimization in the use of non-petroleum fuel derived from waste fish oil fuels, as a replacement for petroleum diesel fuel for compression ignition engine. The study comprises of comparison between results of fish oil biodiesel-diesel blends on a compression ignition engine. Fuel properties such as viscosity, density, heat value of fuel, cetane number and a fla...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Effects of JP-4 Addition to Biodiesel-Diesel Blends on the Performance Characteristics of a Diesel Engine
In this study, the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel blends and engine operating parameters on the performance characteristics of a diesel engine were investigated. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was applied to develop the mathematical models based on the experimental data. The results showed that the fitted models could be prope...
