IC engines are considered as major contributors to the deterioration of the environment, therefore there is an increasing demand to go for alternative fuels for both SI and CI engine so as to maintain the ecological balance as well as reduce dependency on petroleum and socio economic aspects. The gaseous fuel such as LPG has been widely used throughout the world in SI engines as it impacts gree...

Engine intake system leaks are a primary reason behind unsatisfactory operational and emission characteristics of turbocharged engines. In faulty conditions, the intake mass flow sensed by the mass flow sensor does not reach the combustion chamber, resulting in a less than required air fuel mass ratio. This may result in increased emissions along with unsatisfactory performance of exhaust gas r...

Presenting the influence of compressed natural gas (CNG) used as alternative fuel on combustion an automotive diesel engine represents main objective this paper. The paper studies brake specific energetic consumption, in-cylinder pressure and rise rate, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, smoke hydrocarbons emissions at 2000 rev/min 40%, 55% 70% load. Low content will determine lower CO 2 all load...

Automobile industries primarily use petroleum-based fuels like petrol and diesel, creating environmental hazards, a high carbon footprint, severe health issues. The world focuses on compressed natural gas (CNG)-based energy solutions developing CNG infrastructures to minimize concerns from fossil fuel. current focus introduce fraction of hydrogen with in the existing fuel system is initiated he...

Under transient conditions, the emission of turbocharged diesel engine will deteriorate to a certain extent, and adoption EGR is also factor leading increase some pollutants. For this reason, high pressure common rail inter-cooled heavy duty was used study influence closed-loop control method on performance under typical conditions with constant speed torque increasing in 5s. The results show: ...

This paper reports aldehyde emissions from two-stroke and four-stroke, single cylinder spark ignition (SI) engines with gasohol (80 vol. % gasoline, 20 vol. % ethanol) having copper coated engine (copper-coated thickness, 300 μm) on piston crown and inner side of cylinder head) provided with catalytic converter with sponge iron as catalyst and compared with conventional SI engine with gasoline ...

Dilution of the intake air of the SI engine with the inert gases is one of the emission control techniques like exhaust gas recirculation, water injection into combustion chamber and cyclic variability, without scarifying power output and/or thermal efficiency (TE). This paper investigates the effects of using argon (Ar) gas to mitigate the spark ignition engine intake air to enhance the perfor...
