Tests were performed on a single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection, diesel engine whose piston crown, cylinder head and valves were coated with a 0.5 mm thickness of 3Al2O3.2SiO2(mullite) (Al2O3= 60%, SiO2= 40%) over a 150 µm thickness of NiCrAlY bond coat. The working conditions for the conventional engine (without coating) and LHR (mullite coated) engine were kept exactly same to ensure a comparison between the two configurations of the engine. This paper is intended to emphasis on emission characteristics of diesel engine with and without mullite coating under identical conditions. Tests were carried out at same operational constraints i.e. air-fuel ratio and engine speed conditions for both conventional engine (without coating) and LHR (mullite coated) engines. The results showed that, there was as much as29.41% and 24.35% decreasing on CO and HC emissions respectively for LHR (mullite coated) engine compared to conventional engine (without coating) at full load. The average decrease in smoke density in the LHR engine compared with the conventional engine was 13.82 % for full engine load. However, there was as much as 20% increasing on NOx emission for LHR engine compared to conventional engine at full load. Also the results revealed that, there was as much as 22% increasing on exhaust gas temperature for LHR engine compared to conventional engine at full engine load.

The aim of this work is to examine the performance, combustion as well as emission characteristics of diesel engine performed for various mixtures of methane-enriched biogas (95% CH4). Experiments were performed on a single cylinder, four-stroke constant speed, direct injection, water-cooled diesel engine. The engine is operated by means of dual fuel mode using diesel and different mixtures of methane-enriched biogas (BG) like BG10, BG20, BG30, and BG40 mixed with the air (i.e. BG40-40% of CH4 by volume respectively) for different loads and at injection timing of 27.5° before top dead centre (bTDC). The performance, combustion and emission characteristics of the engine operated by dual fuel mode were experimentally analyzed, and compared with respect to diesel mode. The experimental result reveals that better performance and lower emissions were observed for BG40 compared to other mixtures. The brake thermal efficiency of BG40 is lower by 2.43% compared to diesel at full load. The cylinder peak pressure for dual fuel mode is higher by 6.55% when compared with diesel mode. NOx emission reduced by 2.6 % and CO emission increased by 3.3% compared to diesel at full load respectively. Keywords: Biogas, Energy, Combustion, Emission, Injection timing, dual fuel mode

AbstractReactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engines have a high thermal efficiency as well as low emissions of soot and nitrogen oxides (NOx). However, there is a conflict between combustion stability and harmful emissions at high engine load. Therefore, this work presented a novel approach for regulating n-butanol/methyl oleate dual fuel RCCI at high engine load in attaining lower pollutant emissions while maintaining stable combustion and avoiding excessive in-cylinder pressure. The tests were conducted on a single cylinder engine under rated speed and 90% full load. In this study, n-butanol was selected as a low-reactivity fuel for port injection, and n-butanol/methyl oleate blended fuel was used for in-cylinder direct injection. Combustion and emission characteristics of the engine were first investigated with varied ratios of n-butanol port injection (PFI) and direct injection (DI). Results showed that as the ratio of n-butanol PFI and DI rose, the peak cylinder pressure and heat release rate increased, while NOx and soot emissions reduced, and carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions increased under most test conditions. When RNBPI = 40% and RNBDI = 20%, the soot and NOx emissions of the engine were near the lowest values of all test conditions, yet the peak in-cylinder pressure and fuel consumption could not increase significantly. Therefore, the possibility of optimizing the combustion process and lowering emissions by adjusting the pilot injection strategy was investigated utilizing these fuel injection ratios. The results revealed that with an appropriate pilot injection ratio and interval, the peak in-cylinder pressure and NOx emission were definitely reduced, while soot, CO, and HC emissions did not significantly increase.

Abstract Emission from the DI diesel engine is series setback for environment viewpoint. Intended for that investigates for alternative biofuel is persuaded. The important hitches with the utilization of biofuels and their blends in DI diesel engines are higher emanations and inferior brake-thermal efficiency as associated to sole diesel fuel. In this effort, Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) biodiesel, hydrogen and ethanol (BHE) mixtures remained verified in a direct-injection diesel engine with single cylinder to examine the performance and discharge features of the engine. The ethanol remained supplemented 5%, 10% and 15% correspondingly through enhanced CNSL as well as hydrogen functioned twin fuel engine. The experiments done in a direct injection diesel engine with single-cylinder at steadystate conditions above the persistent RPM (1500RPM). Throughout the experiment, emissions of pollutants such as fuel consumption rate (SFC), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and pressure of the fuel were also measured. cylinders. The experimental results show that, compared to diesel fuel, the braking heat of the biodiesel mixture is reduced by 26.79-24% and the BSFC diminutions with growing addition of ethanol from the CNSL hydrogen mixture. The BTE upsurges thru a rise in ethanol proportion with CNSL hydrogen mixtures. Finally, the optimum combination of ethanol with CNSL hydrogen blends led to the reduced levels of HC and CO emissions with trivial upsurge in exhaust gas temperature and NOx emissions. This paper reconnoiters the routine of artificial neural networks (ANN) to envisage recital, ignition and discharges effect.

A nonlinear dynamic model is developed in this study to simulate the overall performance of a naturally aspirated, single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine under cold start and fully warmed-up conditions. The model considers the filling and emptying processes of the cylinder, blowby, intake, and exhaust manifolds. A single zone combustion model is implemented and the heat transfer in the cylinder, intake, and exhaust manifolds are accounted for. Moreover, the derivations include the dynamics of the crank-slider mechanism and employ an empirical model to estimate the instantaneous frictional losses in different engine components. The formulation is coded in modular form whereby each module, which represents a single process in the engine, is introduced as a single block in an overall Simulink engine model. The numerical accuracy of the Simulink model is verified by comparing its results to those generated by integrating the engine formulation using IMSL stiff integration routines. The engine model is validated by the close match between the predicted and measured cylinder gas pressure and engine instantaneous speed under motoring, steady-state, and transient cold start operating conditions.

BS 6680 requires the efficiency of coalmine diesel engine exhaust pollution-reduction devices to be determined. The efficiency of an Englehard PTX catalyst and water scubber for both particulate and gaseous emissions reduction was determined using a 533 cc single-cylinder Petter AVI direct injection diesel engine. The separate and combined influence of the two exhaust devices was determined. The water scrubber acted as aflame trap as well as an exhaust particulate trap. The catalyst gave a substantial reduction in CO and UHC gaseous emissions and particulate SOF emissions for exhaust temperatures above 250°C. However, the high MW particulate SOF, including the PAH, had a 70 per cent reduction for catalyst temperatures as low as 200°C. The water scrubber was the dominant particulate removal device, although the catalyst removal efficiency was significant for temperatures above 250° C. The scrubber also had a significant influence on the reduction in NOx emissions, with a 30 per cent removal at high exhaust temperatures.

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engine. Considering the differences between diesel and biodiesel fuels, the engine condition should be modified based on the fuel or fuel blends to achieve optimum performance. This study presented a performance analysis of a direct-injected (DI) diesel engine with a dynamometer fueled with diesel-tomato seed biodiesel (TSOB) blends employing ANOVA and universal nonlinear model based on ANN. The experiments were carried out under conditions of some independent variables including different engine loads (0, 50, 100%) and speed (1800, 2150, and 2500 rpm) for four diesel-biodiesel combinations (B0, B5, B10, and B20). In this research, the effect of these factors on dependent variables including power, torque, SFC, FC, and Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) are investigated. Duncan′s multi-domain test at a significance level of R < 0.01 shows that the highest and lowest of the torque and power are produced from B5 and B20, respectively. These results show that the lowest EGT of 613 K is related to B20 and the highest EGT is related to B5 and B10. The regression models showed that the torque decreases with increasing the engine speed and biodiesel percentage. These results also show that the highest and the lowest SFC is related to B0 and B20, respectively. The ANN model shows high capability of predicting the engine performance parameters and emissions, without running costly and time-consuming experiments with the histogram error of 0.004 and R = 0.96. It also proved that ANN is a non-linear model of choice to deal with these data, instead of multivariate linear regression employed for preliminary analysis.
