Preparation and emission characteristics of ethanol-diesel fuel blends

The preparation of ethanol-diesel fuel blends and their emission characteristics were investigated. Results showed the absolute ethanol can dissolve in diesel fuel at an arbitrary ratio and a small quantity of water(0.2%) addition can lead to the phase separation of blends. An organic additive was synthesized and it can develop the ability of resistance to water and maintain the stability of ethanol-diesel-trace amounts of water system. The emission characteristics of 10%, 20%, and 30% ethanol-diesel fuel blends, with or without additives, were compared with those of diesel fuel in a direct injection(DI) diesel engine. The experimental results indicated that the blend of ethanol with diesel fuel significantly reduced the concentrations of smoke, hydrocarbon(HC), and carbon monoxide(CO) in exhaust gas. Using 20% ethanol-diesel fuel blend with the additive of 2% of the total volume, the optimum mixing ratio was achieved, at which the bench diesel engine testing showed a significant decrease in exhaust gas. Bosch smoke number was reduced by 55%, HC emission by 70%, and CO emission by 45%, at 13 kW/1540 r/min. However, ethanol-diesel fuel blends produced a few ppm acetaldehydes and more ethanol in exhaust gas.

Effect of <i>γ</i>-Valerolactone Blending on Engine Performance, Combustion Characteristics and Exhaust Emissions in a Diesel Engine

γ-valerolactone (GVL) is a C5-cyclic ester that can be produced from biomass providing a potentially renewable fuel for transportation and feedstock for the chemical industry. Experiments were performed with fossil diesel (D), D + biodiesel (BD) and D + BD + GVL blends. A four-cylinder, turbocharged direct injection diesel engine was used for the tests. The engine was coupled to a dynamometer to vary the load. CO, NOx, THC and smoke emissions were measured by using a multi-channel gas analyzer. Combustion characteristics were assessed by in-cylinder pressure data with respect to crank angle and the derived heat release rates. Compared with D, and D + BD blends, addition of GVL had relatively little effect on engine performance and NOx emission, but reduced the exhaust concentration of CO, unburned fuel and smoke significantly. The smoke reduction is particularly notable in view of the very recent suggestion that black carbon is the second most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere next to carbon dioxide. No diesel engine study with GVL has been reported so far.

Experimental Study on Performance and Combustion Analysis of a Diesel Engine Fueled with Diesel and Jatropha Oil Blended with Heptane

This work focuses on blending Jatropha oil with diesel fuel and heptane to improve its physico-chemical characteristics for production of blends and their use as fuel in a diesel engine. The influence of the heptane content was evaluated by comparing the results obtained from the engine (performance and combustion parameters) with those of the diesel fuel and straight Jatropha oil. The results obtained show an improvement in engine performance especially at low loads. Specifically, a reduction in the specific fuel consumption of the engine is obtained when the heptane content in the mixture is around 10% compared to that obtained with pure Jatropha oil. The best results were obtained with the blend containing 70% Jatropha oil, 20% diesel fuel and 10% heptane (J70G20H10). Overall engine efficiency and exhaust gas temperatures are comparable for all fuels tested. Engine combustion parameters are improved with J70G20H10. The results obtained with J70G20H10 are close to those of the engine operating on diesel fuel. The cyclic dispersion is low with coefficients of variation of the indicated mean effective pressure (COVIMEP) whose values are less than 10%. The lowest values of the COVIMEP are obtained with the blend J70G20H10.

Comparative Study of Performances of a Single-Cylinder Diesel Enginefueled with Pure Diesel and Blends of Biodiesels/Pure Diesel

In this study, the principal objective is to compare the performances of an air-cooled one cylinder, four-stroke direct injection diesel engine using the blends (5% by volume B5, 10% by volume B10) of diesel and biodiesels derived respectively from palm oil, castor oil and raphia sese De Wild oil with pure diesel. All the biodiesels used in this work come from the plant species of the democratic republic of Congo as listed above. The engine performances (power, torque and brake specific consumption) at different engine speeds were determined at both full and partial loads. According to experimental results, the increments in the power output and torque when the mixtures of diesel and biodiesels were used and were observed. On the other side, the specific fuel consumption of the mixtures is higher than that of pure diesel although the calculated lower heating values are almost within the same range for the all studied fuels. Finally, in partial load 1/1, pure diesel blended with biodiesels B5 derived from castor oil presented high specific brake consumption values compared to the other fuels while B10 from the same oil presents low brake specific consumption values for power greater than 3.2 kW.

Dispersion Performance of Methanol-Diesel Emulsified Fuel Prepared by High Gravity Technology

A new continuous process for preparing methanol-diesel emulsified fuel with an Impinging Stream-Rotating Packed Bed is proposed. The droplet size of dispersed phase(methanol) of the emulsified fuel has a significant effect on the combustion of methanol-diesel emulsified fuel. In this paper, the methanol-diesel emulsified fuel uses diesel as the continuous phase and methanol as the dispersed phase. The Sauter mean diameter of the dispersed phase of methanol-diesel emulsified fuel was characterized with microphotography and arithmetic method. The experimental result showed that the Sauter mean diameter of the dispersed phase, which was decreased with the augmentation of the high gravity factor, liquid flow rate and emulsifier dosage, was inversely proportional to the methanol content. The Sauter mean diameter of the dispersed phase can be controlled and adjusted in the range of 12—40 μm through the change of operating conditions. The correlative expressions of the Sauter mean diameter of emulsified fuel were obtained and the calculated values agreed well with the experimental values.

同牌号油品不同密度差值范围对油品调和影响的探讨

通过实验室模拟试验和石油库油罐混调试验,分别对汽油和柴油的不同密度差值范围的油品混调时呈现的分层现象进行了试验和分析,结果表明:随着密度差值范围的增大,油品的相溶区域在不断收缩变窄,相溶区域内的密度差幅度也在增大,密度分布分层现象也越来越严重。汽油组的硫含量和辛烷值指标数据以及柴油组的硫含量和闪点指标数据都是同步随着油品混合状态进行分布。为此,建议成品油销售企业制定调和方案时:油品密度差值范围在0~2kg/m^(3)时,大部分的混合区域能呈现混溶状态,可进行调和;密度差值范围在2~4kg/m^(3)时,相溶区域逐渐缩减,分层趋势逐渐显现,可进行调和,但需将管控等级设为中风险级,应做好调和后的取样监测工作;密度差值范围大于4kg/m^(3)后,相溶区域集中在油品交界区域内,已呈现明显的分层现象,管控等级为高风险级,不建议进行调和。

A Comparative Study of Thumba Seed Bio Diesel

Biodiesel is considering a clean-burning fuel produced from non edible vegetable oils, or animal fats. It is produced by transesterification of oils with short-chain alcohols or by the esterification of fatty acids. In the present context, biodiesel is an alternative eco friendly diesel fuel.

The performance of thumba seed oil biodiesel were compared with biodiesel prepared by mustard, castor and Jatropha seed oil with same blends.

掺混比例对航空煤油/柴油的着火和碳烟排放影响

航空煤油/柴油掺混作为一种典型的宽馏程燃料,具有提升着火能力、改善低温冷起动并对柴油机结构可靠性影响较小等潜在性能.基于电加热定容燃烧弹,耦合纹影法、广域低通化学发光法和高频背光消光法等光学诊断方法,研究了不同航空煤油掺混比例对航空煤油RP-3/柴油掺混燃油喷雾、着火和碳烟排放特性的影响.结果表明:在航空煤油中掺烧柴油,有利于提高掺混燃油的着火能力,但同时也会提高碳烟排放,产生明显的红外信号.随着柴油掺混比例的增加,冷态喷雾体积几乎没有变化,但在高温蒸发环境下,喷雾锥角及体积均略微下降.添加25%(体积分数)的柴油可明显缩短着火滞燃期,且碳烟面积和碳烟质量规律与纯煤油相近,随着柴油组分的进一步增加,碳烟面积和碳烟质量都相应明显增加.此外,掺混25%柴油的航空煤油掺混燃油,可大幅提高燃油的着火性能,且碳烟排放维持在较低水平;航空煤油中添加较少比例的柴油适合在航空发动机中使用,从而成为一种比纯航空煤油更有潜力的单一燃料.

定容弹内柴油/丁醇混合燃料燃烧特性研究

In this paper,the spray and combustion characteristics of diesel/butanol-blended fuels were studied within a high-temperature and high-pressure constant volume chamber equipped with a single-hole injector.Two blends with 80%diesel/20%butanol and 60%diesel/40%butanol mixed by volume were tested in this study.The pure diesel B0 was also tested here as a reference.The spray penetration,flame lift-off length,and soot optical thickness were obtained through high-speed schlieren imaging,OH*chemiluminescence,and diffused back-illumination extinction imaging technique,respectively.The thermogravimetric curves of different fuels were obtained through a thermogravimetric analyzer.The results showed that butanol/diesel blends presented a longer ignition delay(ID)and flame lift-off length compared with pure diesel,and such finding was mainly caused by the lower cetane number and higher latent heat of vaporization of n-butanol.With the increase in the n-butanol ratio,soot production in the combustion process decreased significantly.Given the shorter ID period,the soot distribution of pure diesel reached a steady state earlier than the blends.
