The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of thes...

the dual fuel engines at part loads inevitably suffer from lower thermal efficiency and higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. this work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (dieselgas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. the authors developed software in whi...

This paper presents results obtained from corncob combustion in a pilot scale vortexing fluidized bed combustor (VFBC). Three combustion modes including direct combustion, staged combustion and flue gas recirculation (FGR) combustion were employed, and their combustion and pollutant emission characteristics were studied. In addition, the effects of combustion fraction and bed temperature on pol...

The main objective of this research is to study the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel fuel blends and operating parameters on the emission characteristics of a CI engine. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was used to develop mathematical models based on experimental data. The results showed that with the increase of the biodiesel pr...

running the industrial components at a proper temperature is always a big challenge for engineers. internal combustion engines are among these components in which temperature plays a big role in their performance and emissions. with the development of new technology in the fields of ‘nano-materials’ and ‘nano-fluids’, it seems very promising to use this technology as a coolant in the internal c...

It is a well known fact that, dual fuel engines at part loads, inevitably suffer lower thermal efficiency, higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. The work in this paper is to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (diesel-gas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. The authors deve...

in order to comply with stringent pollutant emissions regulations, a detailed analysis of the engine combustion and emission is required. in this field, computational tools like cfd and engine cycle simulation play a fundamental role. therefore, the goal of the present work is to simulate a high speed di diesel engine and study the combustion and major diesel engine emissions with more details,...
