<p class="02abstracttext"><span lang="IN">A small diesel engine is a machine that has high efficiency but causes a high level of pollution. The most widely used fuel so far is fossil energy which is unrenewable energy. The fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum plant has great potential to be developed as alternative energy for small diesel engines. In this study, the test fuel used was D100, B100, E5, E10, and E15. The small engine diesel used TG-R180 Diesel with a compression ratio of 20:1 at engine turns 1500, 1800, 2100, and 2400 rpm, and the braking load at a constant prony disc brake is 1,5 kg/cm<sup>2</sup>. The result of the study using E10 fuel can improve engine performance and can reduce the opacity of the exhaust gas. The highest power in the D100 fuel at 2100 rpm is 8,06 PS. The highest thermal efficiency of E10 fuel is 50,29%. The use of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (B100) can reduce exhaust gas opacity in small diesel engines when compared to the use of D100. E10 fuel has the lowest exhaust gas opacity rate of 4,1%.</span></p>

In 2016, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has enforced stricter nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission standards. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology is an effective way to achieve IMO Tier III standards for two-stroke marine diesel engines. This paper selected the 6S50ME-C8.2 diesel engine for the study, by making use of GT-POWER simulation software. In this paper, three different types of EGR were built to investigate the effects of EGR on engine performance and NOx emissions. The results show that both the high pressure EGR system and the low pressure EGR system can reduce NOx emissions with the power drop and BSFC risen. While in the high pressure EGR system combined with EGB, more NOx can be reduced with less power drop and BSFC risen. What is more, the running points of the compressor are still in the high efficient area and away the surge margin. Based on the conclusions, the results obtained in this paper can offer reference for the turbocharged diesel engines with EGR system to reduce NOx emissions and improve engine performance.

Gas Recirculation

Major exhaust emissions from diesel engines are CO, CO2, PM, UHC and NOx, of which NOx is one of the most harmful. A number of techniques have been utilized to control NOx emissions and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is one of the widely used techniques that show outstanding results in NOx reduction in both light and heavy duty diesel engines. In the present study, the experiment has been conducted on a four-stroke, single-cylinder water cooled diesel engine. Here, a long-route EGR system was used in both hot (insulated) and partially cooled (without insulation) conditions. EGR rate was varied from 0 to 24% in steps of 6% and the engine ran at various load conditions. The research objective was to investigate the effects of varying EGR ratios and temperatures on engine performance parameters and determine the effective EGR rate where the engine gives high performance, low fuel consumption and produces low emissions.

In this paper, an integrated and automated methodology for the coupling between 1D- and 3D-CFD simulation codes is presented, which has been developed to support the design and calibration of new diesel engines. The aim of the proposed methodology is to couple 1D engine models, which may be available in the early stage engine development phases, with 3D predictive combustion simulations, in order to obtain reliable estimates of engine performance and emissions for newly designed automotive diesel engines. The coupling procedure features simulations performed in 1D-CFD by means of GT-SUITE and in 3D-CFD by means of Converge, executed within a specifically designed calculation methodology. An assessment of the coupling procedure has been performed by comparing its results with experimental data acquired on an automotive diesel engine, considering different working points, including both part load and full load conditions. Different multiple injection schedules have been evaluated for part-load operation, including pre and post injections. The proposed methodology, featuring detailed 3D chemistry modeling, was proven to be capable assessing pollutant formation properly, specifically to estimate NOx concentrations. Soot formation trends were also well-matched for most of the explored working points. The proposed procedure can therefore be considered as a suitable methodology to support the design and calibration of new diesel engines, due to its ability to provide reliable engine performance and emissions estimations from the early stage of a new engine development.

In this study, we have investigated the efficiency of transport diesel engines CAT3512B-HD in transient braking and acceleration modes in 2M62M locomotives. A comparative analysis of the diesel engine performance has been performed at speeds of power increase and braking ranging from 4–5 kW/s to 17–18 kW/s. A decrease in the fuel economy occurred, and the main reason for it (compared with the steady-state operating condition at qcycl = idem) has been found to be the deterioration of the mechanical efficiency coefficient due to the loss of the additional equipment kinetic energy of the engine. The efficiency decreased by 3–3.5% under power increase operations and by 10–14% in the braking modes. The original methodology for the evaluation of the diesel engine parameters registered by the engine control units (ECU) in the engine operating conditions, mathematical modelling application AVL BOOST, and analytical summaries in artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used. The errors in the obtained results have been 5–8% at a determination coefficient of 0.97–0.99.

Fueling control in Diesel engines is not only of significance to the combustion process in one particular cycle, but also influences the subsequent dynamics of air-path loop and combustion events, particularly when exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is employed. To better reveal such inherently interactive relations, this paper presents a physics-based, control-oriented model describing the dynamics of the intake conditions with fuel injection profile being its input for Diesel engines equipped with EGR and turbocharging systems. The effectiveness of this model is validated by comparing the predictive results with those produced by a high-fidelity 1-D computational GT-Power engine model.

In this research work, a surge tank is developed and utilised in the diesel engine for controlling the NOX emission. This surge tank acts as a damper for fluctuations caused by exhaust gases and also an intercooler in reducing the exhaust gas temperature into the diesel engine intake manifold. With the utilisation of the surge tank, the NOX emission level has been reduced to approximately 50%. The developed surge tank is proved to be effective in maintaining the circulation of water at appropriate temperatures. A trade-off has been established between the engine performance parameters including the brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature and all emission parameters including HC and CO.
