Book Performance Combustion Characteristics and Exhaust Emission of a Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Water Oil Emulsions as Fuel

Download or read book Performance Combustion Characteristics and Exhaust Emission of a Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Water Oil Emulsions as Fuel written by E. M. Afify and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CLR single cylinder diesel engine is used to determine the effect of air content in the emulsified fuel on the performance, exhaust emissions and ignition delay of diesel engines. The experiments were conducted using diesel fuel no. 2 and JP-4 as baseline fuels and emulsions containing 15%, 30% and 45% water by volume. The air charge temperature was varied from 88 F to 302 F. The effects associated with use of the emulsions on performance, ignition delay and exhaust emissions were determined by making detailed measurements of fuel consumption, engine operating parameters and exhaust emissions. The results showed that slight improvement in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) was observed when emulsions with low water content were used at high speeds. For high water content emulsions, the BSFC increased. Heating the intake air increased the BSFC at high engine loads and slightly improved it at low engine loads. While the ignition delay was found to increase with the increase of the water percentage in the emulsion, preheating the air charge was effective in reducing it. Although, NO sub x and soot formation were reduced effectively with the increase of water content in the emulsion, preheating the air charge adversely affected NO sub x and soot emissions. While CO and VHC emissions increased with the increase of the water content in the emulsion, increasing the intake air temperature slightly reduced carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons at low loads. Keywords: Combustion; Exhaust emissions; Water/Oil emulsions.
