World’s major transportation energy requirement cannot be met alone by use of fossil fuel based petroleum products. So, as a supplement and sustainable energy usage scope and production of bio diesel is highlighted in this article. Bio-diesel can also be the part of renewable biomass sources available freely on this planet. Use of bio diesel can be made successfully by minor modification in existing transportation vehicles easily. Still further research is going on for to overcome the limitations regarding use of bio diesel in I.C. engines like as piston ring sticking, injector chocking etc. due to its high viscosity. The present work focuses on use of bio diesel in terms of its performance characteristics in IC Engines. Keywords: Bio-Fuel; Diesel Engine; Vegetable Oil; Pollutants

Plasma-assisted ignition and combustion, widely applied in gas turbines, scramjets, and internal combustion engines, has been considered as a promising technique in shortening ignition delay time, improving combustion energy efficiency, and reducing emission. Nonequilibrium plasma can excite the gas molecules to higher energy states, directly dissociate or ionize the molecules and, thereby, has the potential to produce reactive species at residence time and location in a combustible mixture and then to efficiently accelerate the overall pyrolysis, oxidation, and ignition. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of plasma-assisted combustion by using direct current, alternating currant, microwave, radio frequency, and pulsed nanosecond discharge (NSD). Due to the complicated interaction between plasma and combustion in different types of plasma, detailed plasma-combustion chemistry is still not well understood.

Most buildings such as hospitals, hotels, governmental offices, data processing rooms, etc, are equipped with internal combustion engines, diesel motors and generators to supply energy in emergencies. These same IC engines are used for industrial applications, building services and transportation. Exhaust noise are the predominant noise source with most internal combustion engines and thus exhaust systems incorporating mufflers have been designed to reduce the noise. This paper describes the analysis of several configurations of mufflers and also presents comparisons between the results for the transmission loss obtained by numerical modelling (FEM), Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) and measurements.

Automotive and motorcycle sports are motor sports in which various vehicles (serial and modified cars, motorcycles, buggies, jeeps, trucks, prototypes, etc.) compete with engines of different types (electric motors, hybrid and mostly thermal internal combustion engines - piston and partly rotary). Interest in the discuss sport are progressively increases in the years from people of different age groups. The article comments on environmental issues related to these sports and environmental recommendations for their application. The combined efforts of various institutions are needed to increase the popularity and awareness of sport that can be realized under optimal environmental conditions and does not impair its environmental sustainability. This requires an actual environmental policy and education aimed at future development in this direction.

The present work focuses on various vibro-acoustic signals techniques that can monitor malfunctions in Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). Recent works by other authors have focused on various reciprocating machines including compressors no attempts has been deal with IC engines. This paper gives a summary of the generation mechanism of sound and vibration in Engines. An overview of the monitoring and diagnostic techniques base on noise, pressure an vibration signatures is also discussed. Various fault conditions are described which affect ICEs. Measuring of acoustic signals has non-intrusive behavior with capability of detecting airborne transmission paths faults. In view of industrial needs to reduce the maintenance costs monitoring of vehicle operations, the present work can be a useful guide for engineers for understanding types of faults so as sufficient time is obtained to process reliable and information.

The vibrations observed in internal combustion engines transfer to the Tail pipe via exhaust manifold. Such Vibrations cause failure of exhaust system. Two types of vibration can affect the exhaust manifold: the sonic pressure waves coming from the exhaust ports, and the vibration of the engine itself. Pressure wave vibrations are usually transparent, travelling through the exhaust system to either absorb into or cancel out in the muffler. These waves are harmonic, like the vibration of a speaker, but they are usually too minute to cause noise through component movement. Engine vibrations, on the other hand, can easily shake your complete exhaust system. Such cyclic loading of waves can cause component rattling or failure. This vibration failure occurs due to resonant frequencies occurring in defined frequency range. The ‘frequency match’ could lead to a response detrimental to the life of the structure.FEA techniques are proposed in this work to avoid resonance. Physical experimentation is proposed using FFT Analyzer. This work deals with the damping of such later mentioned vibration problems with a concept of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). In this project we are analyzing the exhaust system under various conditions for modal (natural vibrations). Static and modal analysis of exhaust manifold has been performed using ANSYS 19 software along with experimental validation of manifold using FFT and impact hammer test. Different types of methods for reducing vibration of manifold are studied. After studying these methods and procedures for reducing a vibration, we conclude that, exhaust manifold concept 02 is more efficient by changing the geometry or adding proper stiffener for reducing vertical vibration which further increases the frequency response of component..

The recent transport electrification trend is pushing governments to limit the future use of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). However, the rationale for this strong limitation is frequently not sufficiently addressed or justified. The problem does not seem to lie within the engines nor with the combustion by themselves but seemingly, rather with the rise in greenhouse gases (GHG), namely CO2, rejected to the atmosphere. However, it is frequent that the distinction between fossil CO2 and renewable CO2 production is not made, or even between CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions. The present revision paper discusses and introduces different alternative fuels that can be burned in IC Engines and would eliminate, or substantially reduce the emission of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere. These may be non-carbon fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia, or biofuels such as alcohols, ethers or esters, including synthetic fuels. There are also other types of fuels that may be used, such as those based on turpentine or even glycerin which could maintain ICEs as a valuable option for transportation.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the calculation of exhaust gas heat produce (EGHP) in internal combustion engine (ICE) based on three types of fuel used specifically Petrol Ron 95, Petrol Ron 97 and Vpower racing base. The experimental test rig has used 1.6 CamPro Proton engine with 1561cc capacity and dynamometer. The calculation has used the basic formula of heat transfer equation and heat loss through the exhaust that included the mass flow rate of exhaust gas, specific heat of exhaust gas and temperature gradient. The exhaust temperature of ICE is generally in range from 400C to 600C and exhaust gas heat transfer affects the emissions burn-up in the exhaust system. This contributes significantly to the engine requirement. The experimental data was statistically analysed to identify the unknown parameter. High correlation of data variables can be determined based on the heat loss produced or EGHP. This also has significance by using different types of fuel in ICE.

Paper presents results of modelling gas engine thermal cycle using AVL FIRE and KIVA 3V software. There are described three combustion models used in software. KIVA and FIRE software are used in Institute of Internal Combustion Engines and Control Engineering for analysis of thermal cycle of IC engines. FIRE software gives many possibilities with many combustion models. All used combustion models are dependent on turbulence of flow field before ignition. Comparison of modelling results of thermal cycle of IC engine is presented in paper. Pressure, temperature, heat release and turbulence parameters variations in function of crank angle as well as spatial distribution of above mentioned quantities at selected crank angles were determined.

The article proposes a technique for solving applied problems for the preparation of technological processes of mechanical processing on machine tools with numerical programmed control (CNC) of different types of profiled surfaces with the aim of ensuring their further precise connection. In particular, the question of the optimal coverage of the “circle” profile with the common center of these profiles by the “equilateral triangle” profile is investigated. These tasks are relevant in the processing of parts of rotary-piston internal combustion engines, parts of profile joints with equiaxial contour and in other similar technologies. In the work, the value of the function determining the difference of areas, according to which these profiles do not coincide, was obtained, the function was investigated for extremality, two points of its extremum were determined in the domain of definition, it was shown that at one of these points the function acquires a minimum . The conditions for such an extremal coverage of one profile in accordance with another profile are established, figures are given for the formulation and solution of the problem, conclusions are made.

Ammonia, when blended with hydrocarbon fuels, can be used as a composite fuel to power existing internal combustion (IC) engines. Feasibility of developing ammonia gasoline liquid fuel blends and the use of ethanol as an emulsifier to enhance the solubility of ammonia in gasoline were studied using a small thermostated vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) high-pressure cell. Engine dynamometer tests were conducted for developed fuel blends to measure the performance. Gasoline with 30% ethanol can retain 17.35% of ammonia in the liquid phase by volume basis. Engine dynamometer results show ammonia-rich fuels result in an increased torque and power output especially at higher engine speeds.
