This book was released on 2015 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the experimental study on the performance of single cylinder diesel engine operating with tire derived fuel (TDF), TDF-diesel fuel blends and also plastic derived fuel (PDF). The objectives of this project is to determine the fuel properties of TDF, TDF-diesel fuel blends and PDF, evaluating the performance of TDF and PDF when used in diesel engine and also to investigate the effect when several blend ratios between TDF and diesel fuel are used. The performance testing is conducted using a single cylinder engine test rig operating with variable engine speed and constant load exerted to the engine. The diesel engine is equipped with hydraulic dynamometer and necessary sensors to collect and measure the desired data. The parameters that were measured during testing include engine torque, power, combustion pressure and exhaust emissions. The obtained data for all tested fuels are compared to diesel fuel performance data. Then, the properties of all tested fuels are also determined. Six samples of tested fuels are prepared where TDF is blended with diesel fuel at three different ratios which is 10%, 30% and 50% together with 100% unblended TDF, PDF and diesel fuel. The PDF that used is 100% not blended with any other fuel. The comparison between TDF, TDF-diesel fuel blends and diesel fuel shows that TDF-diesel fuel blends produce higher power and torque compared to TDF and diesel fuel. Among tested blend ratio, TDF10% yield highest power and torque compared to other tested fuel. When the TDF blend ratio increases, the power and torque decreases. For cylinder pressure, TDF50% produce highest peak pressure compared to other tested fuels. When the TDF blend ratio decrease, the peak pressure will decrease. For emission, diesel fuel produce lowest COx and NOx emission level compared to other tested fuels while TDF10% produce closest emission level to diesel fuel. PDF produce lowest power, torque and peak pressure compared to TDF and diesel fuel. PDF also produce lowest NOx and CO emission level compared to TDF and diesel fuel. From the results that were obtained in the experiment, it is concluded that TDF and PDF can be used in diesel engine. However, TDF is not suitable for high speed application since it will cause backfires. Blending process between TDF and diesel fuel enhance the properties of TDF thus producing better performance. From the results obtained, TDF10% produced most optimum performance output compared to the other test fuels.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Among the various alternative fuels, natural gas is considered as a leading candidate for heavy-duty applications due to its availability and applicability in conventional internal combustion diesel engines. Compared to their diesel counterparts natural gas fueled spark-ignited engines have a lower power density, reduced low-end torque capability, limited altitude performance, and ammonia emissions downstream of the three-way catalyst. The dual fuel diesel/natural gas engine does not suffer with the performance limitations of the spark-ignited concept due to the flexibility of switching between different fueling modes. Considerable research has already been conducted to understand the combustion behavior of dual fuel diesel/natural gas engines. As reported by most researchers, the major difficulty with dual fuel operation is the challenge of providing high levels of natural gas substitution, especially at low and medium loads. In this study extensive experimental and simulation studies were conducted to understand the combustion behavior of a heavy-duty diesel engine when operated with compressed natural gas (CNG) in a dual fuel regime. In one of the experimental studies, conducted on a 13 liter heavy-duty six cylinder diesel engine with a compression ratio of 16.7:1, it was found that at part loads high levels of CNG substitution could be achieved along with very low NOx and PM emissions by applying reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion. When compared to the diesel-only baseline, a 75% reduction in both NOx and PM emissions was observed at a 5 bar BMEP load point along with comparable fuel consumption values. Further experimental studies conducted on the 13 liter heavy-duty six cylinder diesel engine have shown that RCCI combustion targeting low NOx emissions becomes progressively difficult to control as the load is increased at a given speed or the speed is reduced at a given load. To overcome these challenges a number of simulation studies were conducted to quantify the in-cylinder conditions that are needed at high loads and low to medium engine speeds to effectively control low NOx RCCI combustion. A number of design parameters were analyzed in this study including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate, CNG substitution, injection strategy, fuel injection pressure, fuel spray angle and compression ratio. The study revealed that lowering the compression ratio was very effective in controlling low NOx RCCI combustion. By lowering the base compression ratio by 4 points, to 12.7:1, a low NOx RCCI combustion was achieved at both 12 bar and 20 bar BMEP load points. The NOx emissions were reduced by 75% at 12 bar BMEP while fuel consumption was improved by 5.5%. For the 20 BMEP case, a 2% improvement in fuel consumption was achieved with an 87.5% reduction in NOx emissions. At both load points low PM emissions were observed with RCCI combustion. A low NOx RCCI combustion system has multiple advantages over other combustion approaches, these include; significantly lower NOx and PM emission which allows a reduction in aftertreatment cost and packaging requirements along with application of higher CNG substitution rates resulting in reduced CO2 emissions.

This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the important need for more efficient and environmentally sound combustion technologies that utilise renewable fuels to be continuously developed and adopted. The central theme here is two-fold: internal combustion engines and fuel solutions for combustion systems. Internal combustion engines remain as the main propulsion system used for ground transportation, and the number of successful developments achieved in recent years is as varied as the new design concepts introduced. It is therefore timely that key advances in engine technologies are organised appropriately so that the fundamental processes, applications, insights and identification of future development can be consolidated. In the future and across the developed and emerging markets of the world, the range of fuels used will significantly increase as biofuels, new fossil fuel feedstock and processing methods, as well as variations in fuel standards continue to influence all combustion technologies used now and in coming streams. This presents a challenge requiring better understanding of how the fuel mix influences the combustion processes in various systems. The book allows extremes of the theme to be covered in a simple yet progressive way.
