Soot Emissions

The effects of compression ratio and fuel delivery advance angle on the combustion and emission characteristics of premixed methanol charge induced ignition by Fischer Tropsch diesel engine were investigated using a CY25TQ diesel engine. In the process of reducing the compression ratio from 16.9 to 15.4, the starting point of combustion is fluctuating, the peak of in-cylinder pressure and the maximum pressure increase rate decrease by 44.5% and 37.7% respectively. The peak instantaneous heat release rate increases by 54.4%. HC and CO emissions are on a rising trend. NOx and soot emissions were greatly decreased. The soot emission has the biggest drop of 50%. Reducing the fuel delivery advance angle will make the peak of in-cylinder pressure and the peak of pressure rise rate increase while the peak of heat release rate decreases. The soot emission is negatively correlated with the fuel delivery advance angle. When the fuel delivery advance angle is 16° CA, the soot emissions increased the most by 130%.

Abstract This research investigates the effects of the addition of Fe2O3 and Al2O3 nanoparticles (30, 60, and 90 ppm) and Fe2O3-Al2O3 hybrid nanoparticles to pure diesel fuel on the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine. The results indicated that fuel blends improved the combustion (in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate), performance (power, fuel consumption, and thermal and exergy efficiency), and emission characteristics of the engine. The results showed that the peak combustion pressure increased by 4% and the heat release rate was improved by 15% in comparison with pure diesel with the addition of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the rate of pressure rise increased by 18% compared to pure diesel with nanoparticle additives. Based on the results, the effects of Fe2O3 fuel blends on brake power, BTE, and CO emission were more than Al2O3 fuel blends, such that it increased power and thermal efficiency by 7.40 and 14%, respectively, and reduced CO emissions by 21.2%; moreover, the blends with Al2O3 nanoparticle additives in comparison with Fe2O3 nanoparticle blends showed a better performance in reducing BSFC (9%), NOx (23.9%), and SO2 (23.4%) emissions. Overall, the Fe2O3-Al2O3 hybrid fuel blend is the best alternative if the performance and emission characteristics of the engine are both considered.

Methanol and diesel are almost not soluble, which greatly limits the further study and popularization of the methanol-diesel fuel. To study the emission and combustion characteristics, the 4100 turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine was fueled with 0# diesel and M10 with different additives in the experiment. The result shows that, the maximum cylinder pressure and the peak of the heat release rate in the initial stage of combustion for M10 with iso-octanol and isooctyl nitrate as additive are higher than that of diesel, while the soot emission is lower and NOx emission is slightly higher than diesel’. The maximum cylinder pressure and the heat-release peak in the initial stage of combustion for M10 with dimethyl ether as additive are both lower than diesel’, and the NOx and soot emissions are obviously decreased. The power of the two blend fuels is lower than that of diesel but the magnitude is small, meanwhile the HC emission is slightly increased, while the CO emission is little declined.

Direct Injection Diesel Engine

The diesel engines are superior in terms of power efficiency and fuel economy compared to gasoline engines. In order to optimize the performance of direct injection diesel engine, the effect of various intake pressure (boost pressure) from supercharging direct injection diesel engine was studied at various engine rotation. A single cylinder direct injection diesel engine was used in this experiment. The bore diameter of the engine used was set to 85 mm, the stroke length was set to 96.9 mm, and the compression ratio was set to 16.3. The variation of engine rotation started from 800 rpm to 2 000 rpm with 400 rpm increment. The variation of boost pressure is bounded from 0 kPa boost pressure (naturally aspirated) to the maximum of 60 kPa boost pressure with 20 kPa boost pressure increment. The performance of the engine is evaluated in terms of in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate as the most important performance characteristics of the diesel engine. The in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate of direct injection diesel engine are increased with the elevation of boost pressure at various engine rotation. The raise of engine rotation resulted in the decrease of maximum in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate.

Combustion process in a quiescent chamber diesel engine is modelled using a multizone model. This model divides the cylinder charge into two zones, namely the unburnt zone (surrounding air) and the burnt zone (fuel spray with entrained air). The burnt zone is subdivided into 16 concentric sprays, instead of only eight sprays as in previous work, each one with its own temperature and composition. Liquid fuel, fuel vapour, air and products of combustion are assumed to be present in each zone. Real gas relations are used to calculate the properties of the mixture while products of combustion are assumed to be in chemical equilibrium at local temperature. The extended Zeldovich mechanism is used to predict the NO x formation. The cylinder pressure, temperature, heat release rate, NO x rate and concentration are calculated. For different injection pressures, injection advance angles and different fuel orifice hole diameters, the results show that the model can predict the measured cylinder pressure with high accuracy but it predicts the measured heat release rate and NO x emission rate with moderate accuracy. In addition, the effect of injection parameters on the NO x emission and engine power is predicted and it has been shown that NO x emission can be reduced without noticeable loss of engine power. This can be done by appropriate choice of injection pressure, injection advance angle and fuel nozzle hole diameters.

Biodiesel Blends

This study investigated the influence of different biodiesel blends produced from residual sunflower oil and palm oil from agroindustry liquid waste on the characteristics of the combustion process, performance, and emissions in a single-cylinder diesel engine. For the analysis of the combustion process, a diagnostic model was developed based on the cylinder pressure signal, which allows the calculation of the heat release rate, the accumulated heat rate, and the temperature in the combustion chamber. This is to assess the influence of these parameters on engine emissions. The experiments on the diesel engine were carried out using five types of fuel: conventional diesel, two biodiesel blends of residual palm oil (PB5 and PB10), and two biodiesel blends formed with palm oil and sunflower oil residues (PB5SB5 and PB10SB5). The engine was running in four different modes, which covered its entire operating area. Experimental results show that the in-cylinder pressure curves decrease as the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel increases. Similarly, the results showed a decrease in the heat release rate for biodiesel blends. The diagrams of the accumulated heat release curves were larger for fuels with higher biodiesel content. This effect is reflected in the thermal efficiency of biodiesel blends since the maximum thermal efficiencies were 29.4%, 30%, 30.6%, 31.2%, and 31.8% for PB10SB5, PB5SB5, PB10, PB5, and diesel, respectively. The emission analysis showed that the blends of biodiesel PB5SB5 and PB10SB allowed a greater reduction in the emissions of CO, CO2, HC, and opacity of smoke in all the modes of operation tested, in comparison with the blends of biodiesel PB5 and PB10. However, NOx emissions increased. In general, biodiesel with the percentage of residual sunflower oil does not cause a significant change in the combustion process and engine performance, when compared to biodiesel that includes only residual palm oil.

Hole Number

Particle number emissions need to be monitored and controlled in order to comply with the latest emission legislations for gasoline and diesel engines. This research focuses on performance and emission analysis of a light-duty diesel engine with various injector hole numbers. A 500cc single-cylinder diesel engine was used for this purpose, and injectors with hole numbers varying from 7 to 10 were analyzed. Different operating conditions were selected to test the engine at all types of loading conditions. Start of injection and exhaust gas recirculation swings were carried out at all the test cases to see the variation of particle number and other emissions. Increasing injector hole number from 7 to 9, in-cylinder pressure heat release rate and combustion duration increased while ignition delay was shortened. Soot-NOx and ISFC-NOx trade-offs also improved with decreasing hole diameter for these hole numbers. Particle number emissions reduced significantly with increasing hole number. However, the 10-hole injector exhibited a different behavior than the other injectors. For low loading case, cylinder pressure and heat release rate were higher than those of the 9-hole injector but for medium and high loading cases, in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate, and combustion duration of the 10-hole injector were found to be lesser than the 9-hole injector. For medium and high loading cases, particle number emissions from the 10-hole nozzle also increased as compared to the 9-hole injector. Optical engine investigation revealed a higher flame-flame interference in case of the 10-hole injector which resulted in degraded combustion performance and higher particle number emissions.
