Experimental investigation for optimum compression ratio of single cylinder spark ignition engine

In this research, a scientific study has been proceeded to illustrate the impact of adding methanol – alcohol of 10% and 20% by volume of gasoline without lead with (81) octane number on performance and noise emitted from single cylinder - internal combustion engine work by ignition with compression ratio of (9.5:1), where the previous studies that have been proceeded were on compression ratio ranged about (5:1 – 8:1). Consequences showed that; the addition of 10% methanol can increase the break power about (22%) while the addition of 20% methanol reduces the break power about (8%) after a comparison with the performance of engine without addition. For the fuel consumption, the study showed that the rate of consumption increases (1.8%), (30%) with addition of 10% and 20% methanol consecutively after a comparison with the performance of engine without addition. Also, the consequences showed that reduing of the OASPL about (3.3%) with use the addition of 10% methanol while addition of 20% methanol causes increasing in OASPL about (1.2%) after a comparison with the performance of engine without addition. Also the experiments have been preceded with three stages to illustrate the impact of the sonic isolator (crok isolator 2.5cm thickness, and glass isolator 4mm thickness) a space of air 2.5 cm thickness separat between them. The first stage included proceede the experimente without isolator, second stage by using crok isolator and the third by using two isolators (crok &glass), the consequences was showed reducing of OASPL about 5dB with crok iso. and 8 dB with using two isolators .

From the beginning of IC engine era, it is trying to improve the performance and efficiency of internal combustion engine. In this study, numerically analysis on combustion of Propane, Propanol and Octane in SI engine have been done thoroughly and presented to assess the potentiality and highlighted the comparison. For this analysis thermodynamic engine cycle model is developed for numerical analysis. Mathematical models considering fundamental equation and empirical relation are implemented in a single cylinder 4 stroke spark ignition engine (system) with the help of FORTRAN 95 to find out heat losses, friction losses, output parameter etc. Single cylinder four-stroke spark-ignition (SI) engine is considered as system. In this study, different working parameters like 8 and 12 compression ratios with three different rpm 2000, 4000 & 6000 are considered for simulation. This study shows the different comparisons of energy-exergy content (%), as example of exhaust gas 35.08 & 17.82, 37.02 & 19.22, 37.79 & 19.79 for Octane (at compression ratio 8 and 2000, 4000, 6000 rpm) etc., which explains the potentiality content and the potentiality losses in different process like combustion, mixing of gases etc. It also shows for the fuel propane and propanol in similar way with changing different operating conditions. Maximum inside cylinder temperature, 1st law and 2nd law efficiencies were determined for the fuels with respect to different compression ratio and engine speed.
