Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key topic of many technical discussions has been the development of alternative fuels to power the compression ignition engine. Reasons for this include the desire to reduce the dependency on petroleum-based fuel and, at the same time, to reduce the particulate matter (PM) and NOx emissions. Also, there has been interest generated in the diesel engine because of the reduction in greenhouse gases that has been proposed during the 2008-2012 time frame in Europe and the regulations that affect diesel engines in the United States.

Download or read book Combustion and Emissions in IC Engines written by Murari Mohon Roy and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as a textbook for a one-semester course in combustion and emissions in IC engines (reciprocating engines) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Currently, I am teaching this course at Lakehead University, which I developed from my area of research-expertise. I planned the textbook in such a way that all necessary material required by those taking a course on combustion and emissions in IC engines are found within. The book's twelve chapters are designed in such a way that the instructor could complete it within a 12 to 13-week semester. The chapters are arranged from basic properties of ideal gases, IC engine cycles, fuels and combustion of fuels, combustion in SI, CI and dual-fuel engines, testing of IC engines, hydrogen use in IC engines, and finally emissions from IC engines and air pollution. My three decades of university teaching experience are used to write this book as simple as possible for all students. Too many exercise problems are avoided, and an appropriate number of problem-solving exercises from different topics are included. Whenever possible, my own, along with other relevant research works are presented in a consistent way relevant to the topic. The flow of the topics in different chapters appears in logical order, and the explanation of terminology is made simple. Systems of units and unit conversion are written exclusively for mechanical engineering students in a better, more rational and more useful fashion than any other book in academia.I enjoyed writing this book. If the students for whom it is primarily written find it useful, my efforts will be rewarded. Year after year, I heard frustration from my students about the lack of a suitable textbook. Through my work, I hope to have provided a solution to their frustration. Any suggestions for the improvement of this work will be gratefully welcomed.

Download or read book Automotive Fuels Reference Book Fourth Edition written by Paul Richards and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earlier editions of this title have been best-selling definitive references for those needing technical information about automotive fuels. This long-awaited latest edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, yet retains the original fundamental fuels information that readers find so useful, This book is written for those with an interest in or a need to understand automotive fuels. Because automotive fuels can no longer be developed in isolation from the engines that will convert the fuel into the power necessary to drive our automobiles, knowledge of automotive fuels will also be essential to those working with automotive engines. Small quantities of fuel additives increasingly play an important role in bridging the gap that often exists between fuel that can easily be produced and fuel that is needed by the ever-more sophisticated automotive engine. This book pulls together in a single, extensively referenced volume, the three different but related topics of automotive fuels, fuel additives, and engines, and shows how all three areas work together. It includes a brief history of automotive fuels development, followed by chapters on automotive fuels manufacture from crude oil and other fossil sources. One chapter is dedicated to the manufacture of automotive fuels and fuel blending components from renewable sources, including e-fuels. The safe handling, transport, and storage of fuels, from all sources, are covered. New combustion systems to achieve reduced emissions and increased efficiency are discussed, and the way in which the fuels’ physical and chemical characteristics affect these combustion processes and the emissions produced are included. As CO2 is now an important emission there is also discussion regarding low and non-carbon fuels and how they might be used. There is also discussion on engine fuel system development and how these different systems affect the corresponding fuel requirements. Because the book is for a global market, fuel system technologies that only exist in the legacy fleet in some markets are included. The way in which fuel requirements are developed and specified is discussed. This covers test methods from simple laboratory bench tests, through engine testing, and long-term test procedures.

Download or read book 13th International Colloquium Fuels written by Nicolai Schubert and published by expert verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the signing of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 the United Nations explained their willingness to limit the GHG Emissions and contribute to the measures against the global warming effect. In 2019 the European Commission proposed the Green Deal and as a consequence the target to be climate neutral in 2050. In consequence the fossil based energy system has to transform into a climate-neutral energy system with renewable and sustainable energy carriers. Research on and development of alternative fuels and new production processes are ongoing to provide the technical solution. Political actions are needed to provide the economic framework for the introduction of such alternative fuel solutions. The fulfilment of the European CO2 reduction targets until 2050 needs realistic technical solutions including backwards compatible approaches for existing vehicle fleets. An economic and sustainable development towards climate neutral mobility requires a holistic view based on life cycle assessments for the different mobility approaches including the economic impacts as well as financing options. A synergetic discussion of solutions for future fuels and powertrain technologies is needed to develop an economic pathway to a sustainable and affordable mobility of tomorrow. The challenging goal for mobility can only be achieved through an international cooperation of universities, the automobile industry, energy producers, the oil industry and the legislative bodies of the member states. The international colloquium aims to contribute to the development of a climate-neutral mobility by exchanging views on and discussing all aspects connected with the "powertrain/fuel/environment" system, including the necessary political regulations.
