Penelitian yang dilakukan dalam tulisan ini terkait pengujian performa engine 4 langkah menggunakan bahan bakar hasil pirolisis sampah plastik (BBHPSP) dan dibandingkan dengan bahan bakar standar, yaitu premium. Pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan parameter tetap berupa volume bahan bakar (20 cc) dan kecepatan engine pada 4500 rpm yang dijaga konstan. Untuk memetakan performa engine 4 langkah menggunakan kedua jenis bahan bakar divariasikan besar pembebanan di poros keluaran engine. Berdasarkan pengukuran yang dilakukan diperoleh temperatur ruang bakar dan temperatur gas buang di exhaust manifoldmenggunakantermokopel. Hasil ini digunakan untuk menghitung performa engine 4 langkah yang menunjukkan bahwa performa engine 4 langkah dengan BBHPSP masih berada di bawah performa engine dengan premium. Pada penelitian ini diketahui bahwa kerja keluaran, indicated horse power (IHP), dan efisiensi termal engine dengan BBHPSP lebih rendah masing-masingnya dalam rentang 8,0 – 11,7%; 20,8 – 32,1%; dan 9,6 – 17,7% terhadap nilai premium. Akan tetapi, konsumsi bahan bakar spesifiknya lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan premium yaitu sebesar32,4 – 53,1%. Selanjutnya, hubungan antara konsumsi bahan bakar spesifik dengan kerja keluaran, IHP, dan efisiensi termal memenuhi fungsi kudratik.Secara umum dapat disimpulkan bahwa BBHPSP dapat digunakan sebagai bahan bakar alternatif dengan perlunya proses perlakuan setelah pirolisis selesai dilakukan atau penambahan katalis dalam proses. This research was conducted to determine performance measurement of a four-stroke engine using fuel from pyrolisis procsess of plastic waste (BBHPSP) and gasoline as a standard fuel. The measurements were performed by keeping the fuel volume and engine rotation at constant value at 20 cc and 4500 rpm, respectively. To map the performance of four-stroke engine, it can be achieved by varying the magnitude of load at the output shaft. Temperature was also measured using thermocouple at combustion chamber and exhaust manifold. These measurements were applied to determine the performance of four-stroke engine. It gave the value of four-stroke engine using BBHPSP was lower than the use of gasoline. These values were 8,0 – 11,7%foroutput work, 20,8 – 32,1% for indicated horse power (IHP), and 9,6 – 17,7% for thermal efficiency comparing to the use of gasoline. Meanwhile, the specific fuel consumption of BBHPSP was greater than gasoline about 32,4 – 53,1%. Afterwards, the relation of specific fuel conumption with output works, IHP and thermal efficiency fulfilled the quadratic functions. To conclude, BBHPSP can be used as an alternative fuel for the four-stroke engine by considering a post-treatment or adding a catalyst when producing BBHPSP using pyrolisis proccess.

The effect of thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) reduces fuel consumption, effectively improving the engine efficiency. This research focused on a TBC with a thickness of 300 µm insulating the combustion chamber of a direct ignition (DI) engine. The piston crown, inlet and exhaust-valve head were coated using air-plasma-spray coating. Ceramic powder materials such as molybdenum (Mo) and aluminum oxide titanium dioxide (Al2O3-TiO2) were used. A performance test of the engine with the coated combustion chamber was carried out to investigate the brake power, brake thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and air-fuel ratio. Also, an emission-characteristic test was carried out to investigate the emissions of unburned hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2, NO3) and smoke opacity (SO). The results reveal that the brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption show significant increases because of these coating materials. The effect of the Al2O3-TiO2 coating significantly reduces the HC and CO engine emissions.

In this study, for the first time analysis of a low heat rejection engine was carried out along with the addition of oxidation inhibitors. If the combustion chamber components of the engine such as piston, cylinder head, and inlet and outlet valves are insulated with a thermal barrier material, then the engine will be referred as low heat rejection engine. In this study yttria stabilized zirconia was coated on the combustion chamber components for a thickness of about 150 microns. Then the analysis of performance parameters such as brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption and emission characteristics such as emission of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide was carried out in single cylinder four stroke diesel engine with electrical loading using diesel and pongamia methyl ester as the fuels. The major problem associated with the usage of biodiesels and low heat rejection engine is the increased NOX emission than the normal engine operated with the diesel. This problem has been overcome by the usage of oxidation inhibitors such as ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN), tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ). The results showed that addition of oxidation inhibitors leads to increase in brake thermal efficiency, reduced specific fuel consumption and reduced NOX emission.

In this study, an electrically aerated stove was developed using locally available materials. The performance of the stove was evaluated by utilizing briquettes produced from pyrolyzed jatropha shell and Eucalyptus camadulensis wood shavings. Thermal parameters such as thermal efficiency, power output, specific fuel consumption and burning rate were determined. The mean values obtained for the thermal efficiency, power output, specific fuel consumption and burning rate were 7.62 %, 1685 J/s, 0.2377 g/g, 330.90 g/hr respectively. The performance of the briquette stove was considered to not be suboptimal. The thermal efficiency can further be improved by proper insulation and adequate utilization of the heat generated in the combustion chamber.

Abstract In this study, exergy efficiency calculations of a turboprop engine were performed together with main performance parameters such as shaft power, specific fuel consumption, fuel flow, thermal efficiency etc., for a range of flight altitude (0–14 km) and flight speeds (0–0.6 Mach). A novel exergy efficiency formula was derived in terms of specific fuel consumption and it is shown that these two parameters are inversely proportional to each other. Moreover, a novel exergy efficiency and thermal efficiency relation was also derived. The relationship showed that these two parameters are linearly proportional to each other. Exergy efficiency of the turboprop engine was found to be in the range of 23–33%. Thermal efficiency of the turboprop engine was found to be around 25–35%. Exergy efficiency is higher at higher speeds and altitude where the specific fuel consumption is lower. Conversely, exergy efficiency of the engine is lower for lower speeds and altitude where the specific fuel consumption is higher.

The drawbacks associated with bio-fuels can be minimized by making modifications to combustion chamber. Modification of combustion chamber is achieved by providing an air gap in between the crown and the body of the piston with the top crown made of low thermal conductivity material. Experimentation is carried on a diesel engine with brass as piston crown material and karanja as test fuel, which is found to be a better alternative fuel based on the tests carried out prior to modification. Investigations are carried out on the performance of the engine with modified combustion chamber consisting of air gap insulated piston with 2 mm air gap with brass crown when fuelled with karanja oil. Comparative studies are made between the two configurations of engine with and without modification at an injection timing of 29obTDC. Performance, heat balance and emission plots are made with respect to brake power. Fuel consumption increased with modification. The mechanical and volumetric efficiencies are similar in both the cases. Indicated and brake thermal efficiencies got reduced with modification. But, it is good to see that HC and CO emissions are showing positive trend. Thus, the present investigation hints the possibility of improvements while making piston modification and providing air gap insulation.

Abstract The design of a turbocharged, gasoline fueled, four-stroke engine is considered with the goal of selecting design and operating variables to minimize fuel consumption. The development of the engine simulation code and the effect of model assumptions on the results are presented. The optimization includes constraints on detonation, exhaust emissions, and torque. Variables are bounded to assure the validity of the simulation. A number of observations about the interaction between the thermo-fluid model and the nonlinear programming algorithm are made and general strategies to enhance the optimization under such circumstances are discussed. The method is illustrated by exploring the design of a turbocharged Buick V-6 engine on an IBM PC/AT personal computer. Stock design variables, and operating variables that provided a design away from the constraints imposed by torque, emission, and detonation were chosen as the starting point for the optimization. Application of the optimization strategy resulted in an 18 percent reduction in predicted fuel consumption at 50 miles per hour. Significant specific recommendations included a reduction in combustion chamber volume, an increase in intake manifold pressure, an increase in intake duration, a decrease in exhaust duration, and relatively small changes in valve geometry. The paper clearly demonstrates that it is feasible to do relatively sophisticated engineering design and optimization on personal computers, and it sets the stage for further work in this area.
