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.

Low Heat Rejection Engine

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.

This paper discusses the brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency of a diesel engine using cottonseed biodiesel blended with diesel fuel. A series of experiments were conducted for the various blends under varying load conditions at a speed of 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm and the results were compared with the neat diesel. From the results, it is found that the brake specific fuel consumption of cottonseed biodiesel is slightly higher than that of diesel fuel at different engine loads and speeds, with this increase being higher the higher the percentage of the biodiesel in the blend. And the brake thermal efficiency of cottonseed biodiesel is nearly similar to that of diesel fuel at different engine loads and speeds. From the investigation, it is concluded that cottonseed biodiesl can be directly used in diesel engines without any modifications, at least in small blending ratios.

The diesel fuel is most extensively used fossil fuel in automotives and a single major source of hazardous environment pollutant across the globe. As of late, the exploration thinks about distinguished that plant based biodiesel are turning into a promising option sustainable fuel and the consumable/non-eatable oils and creature fats can be utilized feed-stock in arrangement of biodiesel, in light of the fact that its chemical properties practically like fossil diesel fuel, non-poisonous, clean consuming and inexhaustible source. In this work, the performance analysis and emission characteristics of single cylinder, 4-stroke, and water cooled diesel engine was carried-out using Palm oil methyl ester as biodiesel alternative to diesel fuel. Experimental tests have been conducted with range of engine loads using palm oil methyl ester (PME) and its diesel blends with biodiesel in the ratio of 10:90 (B10), 20:80 (B20), and 30:70 (B30), 40:60 (B40), PME 100% (B100) and petro-diesel 100% by volume with and without antimony tin oxide (ATO) additive. In this research work brake power (BP), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), fuel consumption (FC) are considered as engine performance characteristics and carbon monox ide (CO), hydro carbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are considered as emission characteristics. The experimental results revealed that B10 blend of biodiesel has comparable brake thermal efficiency as diesel. B10 has lowest and B100 has highest BSFC, FC among all the biodiesel blends and biodiesel has lower CO emission, lower HC emission and moderately higher NOx emission when compared with diesel. B10 has shown comparable performance as diesel and it can be considered as alternative to diesel fuel.

Low Sulfur

As a rule, the highest permissible sulfur content in the marine fuel must drop below 0.5% from 1 January 2020 for global fleets. As such, ships operating in emission control areas must use low sulfur or non-sulfur fuel to limit sulfur emissions as a source of acid rain. However, that fact has revealed two challenges for the operating fleet: the very high cost of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and the installation of the fuel conversion system and the ULSD cooling system. Therefore, a solution that blends ULSD and biodiesel (BO) into a homogeneous fuel with properties equivalent to that of mineral fuels is considered to be significantly effective. In the current work, an advanced ultrasonic energy blending technology has been applied to assist in the production of homogeneous ULSD-BO blends (ULSD, B10, B20, B30, and B50 with blends of coconut oil methyl ester with ULSD of 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% by volume) which is supplied to a small marine diesel engine on a dynamo test bench to evaluate the power and torque characteristics, also to consider the effect of BO fuel on specific fuel consumption exhaust gas temperature and brake thermal efficiency. The use of the ultrasonic mixing system has yielded impressive results for the homogeneous blend of ULSD and BO, which has contributed to improved combustion quality and thermal efficiency. The results have shown that the power, torque, and the exhaust gas temperature, decrease by approximately 9%, 2%, and 4% respectively with regarding the increase of the blended biodiesel rate while the specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency tends to increase of around 6% and 11% with those blending ratios.

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.
