Decoupling cetane number from the other compositions and properties of diesel fuel, the individual effect of cetane number on the exhaust emissions from an engine may be researched. This paper has presented a back-propagation neural network model predicting the exhaust emissions from an engine with the inputs of total cetane number, base cetane number and cetane improver, total cetane number and nitrogen...
The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of premixed fuel ratio on the combustion and emission characteristics in diesel engine by the experimental and numerical method. In order to investigate the effect of various factors such as the premixed ratio, EGR rate, and equivalence ratio on the exhaust gas from the premixed charge compression ignition diesel engine, the injection amount...
Light duty gasoline vehicles account for most of CO, hydrocarbons and NO x emissions to the urban environment in Mexico City. From the beginning of year 2001, vehicles comply with Tier 1 emissions standards. Two types of Regular gasoline are available in the country. In those ozone non-attainment areas Regular oxygenated gasoline with an average of 450 ppm S is available, while on the rest...
In the year 2001 Mexico started a program to limit the exhaust emissions on new gasoline vehicles with the perspective that in year 2006 only very low emission automobiles equivalent to USA. Tier II standards will be marketed. For this last strategy, current fuel specifications, regionally differentiated, will not meet the needs of advanced engine technologies, particularly in the sulfur content.In...
A spark ignition engine was used to study the impact of fuel composition and of the air/fuel equivalence ratio on exhaust emissions of specific hydrocarbons. The fuel blends used contained eight main hydrocarbons and four oxygenated compounds. The identification of each exhaust pollutant fuel precursor is already done. After this identification, several models correlating the exhaust concentration...
A spark ignition engine was used to study the impact of fuel composition and of the air/fuel equivalence ratio on exhaust emissions of specific hydrocarbons. The fuel blends used contained eight main hydrocarbons and four oxygenated compounds. The fuel components that produce each exhaust pollutant are identified. The emissions of all HC generally decrease with the addition of oxygenated compounds,...
Two synthetic aliphatic fuels and a commercial one were used on a Diesel vehicle to study the impact on exhaust regulated and non-regulated emissions. The two aliphatic fuels decrease hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) emissions comparing to the reference fuel (commercial fuel), but they slightly increase nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions. Total particle number...
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for internal combustion engines. It can reduce carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and particulate matter (PM) emissions, compared with diesel fuel, but there is also an increase in nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emission. This study is aimed to compare the effect of applying a biodiesel with either 10% blended methanol or 10% fumigation methanol. The biodiesel...
Vegetable oil methyl ester (VOME) is produced through the transesterification of vegetable oil and can be used as biodiesel in diesel engines as a renewable, nontoxic, and potentially environmentally friendly fossil fuel alternative in light of growing concerns regarding global warming and increasing oil prices. This study used VOME fuels produced from eight commonly seen oil bases to conduct a series...
The effects of ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) addition to diesel fuel on the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions of a common rail direct injection diesel engine with high rates of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) were investigated. Test fuels were prepared by blending 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40vol% ETBE to a commercial diesel fuel. Increasing ETBE fraction in the fuel helps to suppress...
In this study, the effects of methanol–diesel (M5, M10) and ethanol–diesel (E5, E10) fuel blends on the performance and exhaust emissions were experimentally investigated. For this work, a single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection, naturally aspirated diesel engine was used. The tests were performed by varying the engine speed between 1000 and 1800rpm while keeping the engine torque at 30Nm....
This study explores the impact of neat soy-based methyl ester and its 50% v/v blend with low sulphur automotive diesel on PAH, nitro-PAH and oxy-PAH emissions of a Euro 2 compliant diesel passenger car tested on a chassis dynamometer. Emission measurements were evaluated for the certification NEDC, a hot-start UDC (urban part of NEDC) and the non-legislated Artemis driving cycles which simulate urban,...
New computational procedures are proposed for experimentally evaluating air–fuel ratio and mass fractions of exhaust emissions as well as EGR rate, oxygen mass fraction and thermal capacity of the inducted charge in IC engines running with diesel oil, gasoline or any alternative liquid or gaseous fuel, such as LPG or CNG. Starting from the chemical reaction of fuel with air, from gaseous and smoke...
The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of ethanol blending to diesel fuel on the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics of a four-cylinder diesel engine with a common-rail injection system. The overall spray characteristics, such as the spray tip penetration and the spray cone angle, were studied with respect to the ethanol blending ratio. A spray visualization system and a four-cylinder...
A spark-ignited two-stroke chainsaw engine was used to study the influence of pure oxygenated fuels on exhaust emissions of carbonyls (aldehydes and ketones) and regulated emissions, i.e. hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NO x ). Three fuels—methanol, methyl tert-butylether (MTBE), and ethyl tert-butylether (ETBE)—were used in the tests, each at three air/fuel ratios...
This study was performed to investigate the effect of biogas–biodiesel fuel combustion on the emissions reduction and nanoparticle characteristics in a direct injection (DI) diesel engine. In order to apply the two biofuels, biogas was injected into a premixed chamber during the intake process by using two electronically controlled gas injectors, and biodiesel fuel was directly injected into combustion...
This study investigates the impact of mid-high biodiesel blends on the criteria and PAH emissions from a pick-up diesel vehicle. The vehicle was a Euro 4 (category N1, subclass III) compliant common rail light duty vehicle fitted with a diesel oxidation catalyst. Emission and fuel consumption measurements were performed on a chassis dynamometer using constant volume sampling (CVS) technique, following...
This paper investigates the impact of hydrogen (H 2 ) addition on the exhaust emissions of a 2004 Mack MP7 355E heavy-duty diesel engine. As expected, the addition of H 2 reduced substantially the emissions of particulate matter (PM), unburned hydrocarbon (HC), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). However, the effects of H 2 addition on the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO)...
The study investigated the impact of ethanol blends on criteria emissions (THC, NMHC, CO, NO x ), greenhouse gas (CO 2 ), and a suite of unregulated pollutants in a fleet of gasoline-powered light-duty vehicles. The vehicles ranged in model year from 1984 to 2007 and included one Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Emission and fuel consumption measurements were performed in duplicate or...
In this study, the effects of fuel injection pressure on the exhaust emissions and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine have been discussed. The engine was fueled with biodiesel–diesel blends when running the engine at four different fuel injection pressures (18, 20, 22, and 24MPa) and four different engine loads in terms of mean effective pressure (12.5,...
