The increased focus on alternative fuels research in the recent years are mainly driven by escalating crude oil prices, stringent emission norms and the concern on clean environment. The processed form of vegetable oil (biodiesel) has emerged as a potential substitute for diesel fuel on account of its renewable source and lesser emissions. The experimental work reported here has been carried out on...
Biodiesel as an augmenting fuel to petroleum diesel has advantages like lower CO, lower CO2, decreased particulate matter emission and lower UBHC and few disadvantages like poorer cold flow characteristics, lower heating values, and mostly reported higher emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx = NO + NO2, where NO is nitric oxide and NO2 is nitrogen dioxide). Emission of oxides of nitrogen is the focus...
A quasi-two zone predictive model is developed in the present work for prediction of the combustion processes in dual fuel engines and some of their performance features. Methane is used as the main fuel while employing a small quantity of liquid fuel (pilot) injected through the conventional Diesel fuel system. This model emphasizes the effects of chemical kinetics activity of the premixed gaseous...
