A predictive procedure is described for determining the effective time period needed to complete the energy release by combustion from the moment of flame initiation by a spark to the completion of flame propagation in a spark ignition engine while using a number of gaseous fuels and some of their mixtures. These predicted values of the combustion period when used in a relatively simple modelling procedure can produce predicted values of key engine performance parameters that compare well with the corresponding experimentally obtained values.

Hydrogen enrichment in internal combustion engines has been a topic of research interest to improve engine efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions. Hydrogen enrichment has garnered more interest than the pure hydrogen powered engines due to less complexity involved with the modifications of the engine and fuel system as well as the infrastructure required for it. Similarly, accurate chemical kinetics has proved to provide accurate results in terms of engine performance parameters, such as, in-cylinder pressure. The present study is an extension of study performed earlier with hydrogen enrichment in gasoline direct injection engine while using C8 H17 as a surrogate fuel for gasoline and assumes that an on-board electrolysis system installed on the vehicle produces hydrogen for the enrichment purposes. A mesh independent study is performed using 90% iso-octane (iC8 H18) and 10% n-heptane (nC7 H16) blend as a gasoline surrogate with hydrogen enrichment of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% at equivalence ratios of 0.98 and 1.3, in a premixed spark ignition engine. Numerical simulations are performed to calculate and compare the thermal and combustion efficiencies of the engine using hydrogen-enriched fuel versus iso-octane and n-heptane blend. The study also predicts and measures the engine performance parameter of in-cylinder pressure, while comparing the iso-octane and n-heptane blend against the blend enriched with hydrogen. Based on the results obtained from smaller hydrogen enrichment concentrations, the study increases the hydrogen-enrichment of the fuel to 5%, 10% and 15% to analyse the effects of enrichment on the thermal and combustion efficiencies, as well as the in-cylinder pressure.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the port injection of ammonia on performance, knock and NOx emission across a range of engine speeds in a gasoline/ethanol dual-fuel engine. An experimentally validated numerical model of a naturally aspirated spark-ignition (SI) engine was developed in AVL BOOST for the purpose of this investigation. The vibe two zone combustion model, which is widely used for the mathematical modeling of spark-ignition engines is employed for the numerical analysis of the combustion process. A significant reduction of ~50% in NOx emissions was observed across the engine speed range. However, the port injection of ammonia imposed some negative impacts on engine equivalent BSFC, CO and HC emissions, increasing these parameters by 3%, 30% and 21%, respectively, at the 10% ammonia injection ratio. Additionally, the minimum octane number of primary fuel required to prevent knock was reduced by up to 3.6% by adding ammonia between 5 and 10%. All in all, the injection of ammonia inside a bio-fueled engine could make it robust and produce less NOx, while having some undesirable effects on BSFC, CO and HC emissions.

Bio-additive is biodegradable and produces less air pollution thus significant for replacing the limited fossil fuels and reducing threats to the environment from exhaust emissions and global warming. Instead, the bio-additives can remarkably improve the fuel economy SI engine while operating on all kinds of fuel. Some of the bio-additive has the ability to reduce the total CO2 emission from internal petrol engine. This review paper focuses to determine a new approach in potential of bio-additives blends operating with bio-petrol on performance and emissions of spark ignition engine. It is shown that the variant in bio-additives blending ratio and engine operational condition are reduced engine-out emissions and increased efficiency. It seems that the bio-additives can increase the maximum cylinder combustion pressure, improve exhaust emissions and largely reduce the friction coefficient. The review concludes that the additives usage in bio-petrol is inseparable for the better engine performance and emission control and further research is needed to develop bio-petrol specific additives.
