An increase in fuel utilization to internal combustion engines, variation in gasoline price, reduction of the fossil fuels and natural resources, needs less carbon content in fuel to find an alternative fuel. This paper presents a comparative study of various gasoline blends in a single-cylinder two-stroke SI engine. The present experimental investigation with gasoline blends of butanol and propanol and magnesium partially stabilized zirconium (Mg-PSZ) as thermal barrier coating on piston crown of 100 µm. The samples of gasoline blends were blended with petrol in 1:4 ratios: 20 % of butanol and 80 % of gasoline; 20 % of propanol and 80 % of gasoline. In this work, the following engine characteristics of brake thermal efficiency (BTH), specific fuel consumption (SFC), HC, and CO emissions were measured for both coated and non-coated pistons. Experiments have shown that the thermal efficiency is increased by 2.2 % at P20. The specific fuel consumption is minimized by 2.2 % at P20. Exhaust emissions are minimized by 2.0 % of HC and 2.4 % of CO at B20. The results strongly indicate that the combination of thermal barrier coatings and gasoline blends can improve engine performance and reduce exhaust emissions.

Cylinder wall heat insulation using thermal barrier coatings is both an old and new thermal efficiency improvement technology for internal combustion engines. This review first outlines the history of thermal barrier coating (TBC) technologies applied to reciprocating engines from the 1970s up to the present day, by referring to several distinctive reference papers. These research efforts, however, present a number of conflicting conclusions. In order to understand why the results did not always coincide, certain key features of TBC’s studied in the reference papers were then investigated in more detail, such as thermal properties, porosity, surface roughness, and translucence/emissivity. The studies of not only the effect of TBC’s on diesel exhaust emissions, but TBC effects on gasoline and HCCI performance and exhaust emissions, are also reviewed for the investigation of manifold TBC characteristics. Finally, state of the art techniques and constraints were reviewed for experimental and numerical analysis of the heat transfer mechanism, which should be applied to TBC research.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of a diesel-biodiesel blend (B20) and a diesel-biodiesel-bioethanol blend (BE5) on combustion parameters in addition to engine performance and exhaust emissions compared with diesel fuel. Parameters included in the evaluation was brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, CO, CO2, HC, NOx, smoke opacity emissions and finally cylinder pressure, heat release rate, ignition delay, some key points of the combustion phases such as start of ignition, start of combustion, CA50 and CA90 and combustion duration. Engine tests were conducted at different injection pressures of 170 bar, 190 bar, which is the original injection pressure, and 220 bar by the engine being loaded by 25, 50, 75 and 100% for the assessment of engine performance and exhaust emissions. For combustion evaluation, the data obtained at 1400 rpm, maximum torque-speed, and 2800 rpm, maximum power-speed were used, while the injection pressures were set to 170, 190 and 220 bar under full load condition. According to test results, the better performance characteristics, exhaust emissions and combustion behaviour of engine were obtained with the use of BE5 at high injection pressure. So, BE5 fuel improved brake specific fuel consumption by about 7% and brake thermal efficiency by about 6% compared to B20. In addition, while the emission values of BE5 gave better results than diesel fuel, it reduced the NOx and smoke emissions of B20 by approximately 1.4% and 6.4% respectively. Moreover, it has achieved a reduction in smoke emission of up to 45% compared to diesel fuel.

This introductory study comes up with an innovative idea of using Hydroxyl gas as a fuel performance enhancer to reduce the natural sources and the overuse of fossil fuel resulting in increased pollution levels. Many researchers have used HHO gas to analyze gasoline and diesel in internal combustion engines. The main challenges of using HHO gas in engines have been identified as system complexity, safety, cost, and electrolysis efficiency. This article focuses on different performance reports and the emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine. As opposed to general diesel, this study found that using HHO gas improved brake power and torque. In all cases, an increase in braking thermal efficiency can be observed. This was due to the presence of hydrogen in HHO gas with higher calorific value than fossil fuels. At the same time, the fuel consumption unit of the engine was reduced, and the combined impact of hydrogen and oxygen helped to achieve complete combustion and improved the combustion capacity of the fuel when HHO gas was injected. The addition of HHO gas also improved the Brake Power (BP), Brake Torque (BT), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), and thermal efficiency while simultaneously reducing CO and HC formation. The rise in CO2 emissions represented the completion of combustion. Therefore, the usage of HHO gas in the Compression Ignition (CI) engine improved the engine performance and exhaust emissions.

Many researchers have been working on bio-based lubricant which is complete or partial replacement for mineralbased lubricant. Mineral-based lubricant is highly pollutant and possesses environmental threat as it is not biodegradable, in the initial days of the industrial revolution bio-based lubricants were widely used, later it was replaced by more sustainable and easily available but environmental polluting mineral oils, currently due to environmental concerns and scarcity of mineral oils, bio-based lubricant has gained importance. Bio-based lubricants are now a day’s used for various applications such as transformer oil and processes where there is complete loss of lubricants. They possess very good properties in such applications, whereas bio-based lubricants are also used internal combustion engines, pure biobased lubricant may not be suitable for long-duration, but genetically and chemically modified bio-based lubricants will be suitable for IC engine. Though bio-based lubricant possesses many good properties as a lubricant for IC engine and various other application, it is still at large to become commercial, more study is required for checking performance of such pure and modified bio-based lubricants oils, in this paper such study of cotton seed Trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester oil and its effects on performance of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTh) and emission of gases like hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) nitrogen oxides (NOx ) are studied, bio-based have poor cold flow properties and oxidation stability to improve these additives are added. The experimental study shows that Cottonseed Trimethylolpropane Ester (CSTE) displays similar characteristics of thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and emission of gases as compared to mineralbased lubricating oil hence can be used in the IC engine instead of mineral-based lubricants

The economic growth of any country is determined by the natural resources it possesses and the fuel that it has. The rate of growth of any country is mostly directly proportional to the amount of fuel it possesses. Fossil fuels are important resources those have helped in the rapid industrialization of the world and thus to the increase in the quality of life. However, due to the threat of supply instabilities and the effect of green house gases caused by internal combustion engines have received more and more interests in the use of alternative fuel. The study deals with the experimental investigation and the performance analysis of rice bran oil (non edible) a straight vegetable oil (SVO] and its blends with diesel for different injector opening pressure by using DI diesel engines. Most of the published work using rice bran oil in diesel engine was carried out without changing injector opening pressure and static injection timing. The observations of the investigation are of the following performance parameters: 1. Specific Fuel Consumption - Diesel vs rice bran oil. 2. Optimum Air Fuel ratios. 3. Study of exhaust gases in line with the specifications of Indian pollution norms. 4.Techno-Commercial considerations in the modification of engine if required. Experiments were conducted by blending diesel with rice bran oil in various proportions and with varying loads. Studies have found that the use of blends of more viscous rice bran oil and Diesel in various percentages result in the decrease of the Specific fuel consumption (SFC) while the use of 100% rice bran oil results in the marginally higher Specific fuel consumption than Diesel. Further studies are on for other parameters.

Thermal barrier coatings can be used to reduce the heat losses in heavy-duty diesel engines. A relatively new coating method for thermal barrier coatings is suspension plasma-spraying. Single-cylinder engine tests have been run to evaluate how heat losses to piston, cylinder head and exhausts as well as the specific fuel consumption are influenced by coating pistons with two different suspension plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings and one atmospheric plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating, and comparing the results to those from an uncoated steel piston. The two suspension plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings showed reduced heat losses through the piston and less heat redirected to the cylinder head compared to conventional atmospheric plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating, while one suspension plasma-sprayed coating with yttria-stabilized zirconia as top coat material showed increased exhaust temperature. However, the indicated specific fuel consumption was higher for all tested thermal barrier coatings than for an uncoated engine. The best performing thermal barrier coating with respect to indicated specific fuel consumption was a suspension plasma-sprayed coating with gadolinium zirconate as top coat material.

Abstract The consumption of fossil fuels raises major issues, such as energy availability and environmental preservation. In order to minimize these issues, it is important to propose alternative fuel. Alternative fuel to be proposed should be easy to apply current type of enginethat do not require engine modification and environmentally friendly. This study aims to determine the effect of addition of methanol as a non-fossil fuel mixture into RON 88 gasoline. The ratio of mixture is 80% of RON 88 gasoline and 20% of methanol. We conducted the experiment to determine the mixture effect on fuel properties, engine performance, engine vibration, engine noise, and exhaust emissions. The engine simulation utilized the TV-1 engine (Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd.). The results show that the engine performance of fuel mixed with methanol tends to be better even though the fuel consumption is higher, the highest specific fuel consumption in the methanol mixture is 2.9 kg/kwh while the specific fuel consumption for gasoline without a methanol mixture is 2.64 kg/kwh. The largest engine vibration occurred in the measurement of the vertical radial direction of 36 m/s2 and 34 m/s2 for with methanol and without the addition of methanol, at 1200 rpm to 1600 rpm respectively. Engine noise is higher for fuel mixed with methanol with the largest value of 86.4 dB compared to 85.7 dB for pure gasoline. Lower emission levels for fuel blended with methanol, where the highest HC emission for pure gasoline is 32 ppm while fuel mixed with methanol is 17 ppm.

Fossil fuel crisis and depletion, environmental pollution and ever-increase in vehicle and transportation means have renewed the scientist’s interest in the world in order to look for potential alternative fuels, which are attractive such as biodiesel, bioethanol, DME and vegetable oils. Inedible vegetable oils such as coconut oil, Jatropha oil, linseed oil or animal fat are full of potential for using directly or manufacturing biodiesel. This work is carried out in order to study the four stroke diesel engine D240 performance characteristics fueled with preheated pure coconut oil (PCO), Jatropha oil methyl ester (JOME) and compare with diesel oil (DO). The test diesel engine performance such as power (Ne), torque (Me), specific fuel consumption (ge) and thermal efficiency (ηe) is determined, calculated and evaluated while using JOME, preheated PCO and compared to DO. The results show that, power (Ne), torque (Me) and thermal efficiency (ηe) while engine is fueled with JOME and PCO are lower, otherwise specific fuel consumption (ge) is higher than those of diesel fuel, the test engine performance are gained the best for JOME and PCO100.Article History: Received Dec 9, 2016; Received in revised form January 28, 2017; Accepted February 4, 2017; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Hoang, T.A and Le,V.
