Performance And Emissions

In today’s world we see that the demand for gasoline and cars keep increasing and one problem which is significantly seen is that we either opt for a fuel which provides higher performance or for a fuel which provides lesser emissions. In this study we aim to provide higher performance and lower emissions by combining two chemicals or octane boosters, namely ethanol and toluene with gasoline and find out its performance and emission characteristics when compared with traditional gasoline and ethanol-gasoline blend. In this study we have made four blends which are PP, E10, E10T5 and E20T5 which are tested against two performance parameters which are Specific Fuel Consumption, Brake Thermal Efficiency with respect to brake power and emissions parameter which are Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Hydrocarbon with respect to brake power as well. In each of these performance and emissions parameters, the blends are compared and we find that E20T5 has the highest performance and E10T5 has the lowest emission.

In the present study investigates the effect of bio-ethanol on the performance and emissions of a biodiesel blend fueled compression ignition engine. The experiments are conducted using pongamia biodiesel blend B20 (20% pongamia biodiesel +80% diesel) with 5, 7.5 and 10% (v/v) of bio-ethanol on a four stroke single cylinder diesel engine. The tests are conducted at different load conditions. Performance and emissions characteristics are investigated for different bio-ethanol compositions. The results show that the brake thermal efficiency is maximum for B20E7.5 blend with a minimum brake specific fuel consumption. Carbon monoxide emission is minimum for B20E7.5 blend and NOx emission decreases as the bio-ethanol percentage is increased from 5 to 7.5%. The study reveals that 7.5% bio-ethanol with B20 pongamia biodiesel blend results better performance and emission characteristics.

Miscibility of methanol in mineral diesel and stability of methanol–diesel blends are the main obstacles faced in the utilization of methanol in compression ignition engines. In this experimental study, combustion, performance, emissions, and particulate characteristics of a single-cylinder engine fueled with MD10 (10% v/v methanol blended with 90% v/v mineral diesel) and MD15 (15% v/v methanol blended with 85% v/v mineral diesel) are compared with baseline mineral diesel using a fuel additive (1-dodecanol). The results indicated that methanol blending with mineral diesel resulted in superior combustion, performance, and emission characteristics compared with baseline mineral diesel. MD15 emitted lesser number of particulates and NOx emissions compared with MD10 and mineral diesel. This investigation demonstrated that methanol–diesel blends stabilized using suitable additives can resolve several issues of diesel engines, improve their thermal efficiency, and reduce NOx and particulate emissions simultaneously.

In this contemporary era it is mandatory to increasing the usage of non edible biodiesel to replace the fossil fuels. This non edible biodiesels are produced from vegetable oils which is clean burning and renewable. This paper deals with the performance and emission characteristics on diesel engine with blends of Castor oil as biodiesel. Castor oil biodiesel is prepared by the use of adding 1% v/v H2SO4 after the transesterification process. The engine tests were performed with various blends B20, B40, B60 on a single cylinder, 4-stroke, diesel engine. The result shows Higher performance and lower emissions for B20 than the diesel and other blends. The brake thermal efficiency is higher than the diesel and CO, HC and NOX emissions were 22%, 8.4%, and 21% lesser than that of diesel.

This study focuses on the conversion of chicken fat into chicken fat methyl ester (CFME) and its use in the diesel engine. Baseline fuel i.e., diesel and chicken fat biodiesel are the fuels tested to study their effect on the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engines. To enhance the performance and emission characteristics, ethanol up to 20% is added as an additive to the chicken fat biodiesel. The physiochemical properties revealed that the fuel blends properties are closer to the diesel fuel. The experimental investigations revealed that additive blended biodiesel enhanced the performance by reducing the brake-specific fuel consumption and increasing the brake thermal efficiency. Moreover, the emissions are considerably reduced by the additive blended chicken fat biodiesel. Therefore, chicken fat biodiesel can be considered as a substitute fuel to be used in the diesel engine without any modifications.

The rising global warming concerns and explosive degradation of the environment requires the mainstream utilization of alternative fuels, such as hydroxy gas (HHO) which presents itself as a viable substitute for extracting the benefits of hydrogen. Therefore, an experimental study of the performance and emission characteristics of alternative fuels in contrast to conventional gasoline was undertaken. For experimentation, a spark ignition engine was run on a multitude of fuels comprising of gasoline, Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and hybrid blend of HHO with LPG. The engine was operated at 60% open throttle with engine speed ranging from 1600 rpm to 3400 rpm. Simultaneously, the corresponding performance parameters including brake specific fuel consumption, brake power and brake thermal efficiency were investigated. Emission levels of CO, CO2, HC and NOx were quantified in the specified speed range. To check the suitability of the acquired experimental data, it was subjected to a Weibull distribution fit. Enhanced performance efficiency and reduced emissions were observed with the combustion of the hybrid mixture of LPG with HHO in comparison to LPG: on average, brake power increased by 7% while the brake specific fuel consumption reduced by 15%. On the other hand, emissions relative to LPG decreased by 21%, 9% and 21.8% in cases of CO, CO2, and unburned hydrocarbons respectively. Incorporating alternative fuels would not only imply reduced dependency on conventional fuels but would also contribute to their sustainability for future generations. Simultaneously, the decrease in harmful environmental pollutants would help to mitigate and combat the threats of climate change.

A study on performance and emission of compression ignition (CI) engine has been made by utilizing biogas blends at different loads. The flow rate of biogas with air was important parameter to get the desired results. The blend of 30% with diesel was optimum which yielded optimum emission characteristics. Higher specific fuel consumption and lower brake thermal efficiency was observed when the proportion of biogas mixes with diesel in comparison with neat diesel. The out coming results from the experimental investigation exhibited reduction in NOx emission and smoke opacity. The other emissions hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) has been higher than diesel. The use of biogas as an alternative fuel in correct proportion with diesel can meet the energy demand on scarcity of conventional fuel.
