Exhaust Emission Analysis of an Internal Combustion Engine Fuelled with Hydrogen-Ethanol Dual Fuel

Study of Combustion Characteristics of an SI Engine Fuelled with Ethanol and Oxygenated Fuel Additives

This study investigates the effects of ethanol-blended gasoline with oxygenated additives on a multi – cylinder Spark Ignition (SI) Engine. The experiments were conducted in two stages. In stage I, the test fuels were prepared using 99.9% pure ethanol and gasoline with a cycloheptanol blend, in the ratio of E69.5 + 0.5 cycloheptanol, E64.6 + 0.4 cycloheptanol, E59.7 + 0.3 cycloheptanol, E49.8 +...

Combustion and Exhaust Emission Characteristics of Diesel Micro-Pilot Ignited Dual-Fuel Engine

Combustion Characteristics of a Diesel-hydrogen Dual Fuel Engine

Among the alternative fuels, hydrogen shows great potential in the near future. In the present study, hydrogen utilization as diesel engine fuel was investigated. Hydrogen can not be used directly in a diesel engine due to its autoignition temperature higher than that of diesel fuel. One alternative method is to use hydrogen in enrichment or induction. To investigate the combustion characterist...

Air-to-Fuel and Dual-Fuel Ratio Control of an Internal Combustion Engine

Air-to-fuel (A/F) ratio is the mass ratio of the air-to-fuel mixture trapped inside a cylinder before combustion begins, and it affects engine emissions, fuel economy, and other performances. Using an A/F ratio and dualfuel ratio control oriented engine model, a multi-inputmulti-output (MIMO) sliding mode control scheme is used to simultaneously control the mass flow rate of both port fuel inje...

Combustion, Performance and Emission Analysis of Diesel Engine Fuelled with Methyl Esters of Fish oil

The methyl esters of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their low environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine and they would not require significant modification of existing engine hardware. Methyl ester of Fish oil (FME) is derived through transesterification process. Experimental investigations have been carried...

Investigation of performance and exhaust emission of diesel engine in different ratios of lambda coefficient using diesel-ethanol fuel blends

In recent decades, rising greenhouse gas emissions have become a major challenge and concern. Environmental pollution is one of the greatest human challenges of the 21st century. Improving the performance of internal combustion engines and reducing the amount of pollutant emissions has always been a concern for researchers. The use of alternative fuels and the control and adjustment of the lamb...
