Study on combustion and emissions of a hydrous ethanol/gasoline dual fuel engine with combined injection

Decheng Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different water ratios in hydrous ethanol on combustion and emissions of hydrous ethanol-gasoline. The results showed that hydrous ethanol prolongs flame development and propagation duration, decreases Tmax and Pmax, and improves torque and brake thermal efficiency. Increasing water content in gasoline/hydrous ethanol dual fuel also leads to higher HC emissions but lower CO and NOx emissions, as well as smaller particle size.

Experimental study on combustion and emission of an SI engine with ethanol/gasoline combined injection and EGR

Zhe Zhao et al.

Summary: This study shows that the cooperation of EGR and EDI can improve the performance of spark ignition engines and reduce emissions. Under lean burn conditions, specific ratios of EGR and EDI can significantly improve the combustion and emission characteristics of the engine. Ethanol has a higher oxygen content and faster laminar flame speed, while EGR can reduce pumping and throttling losses and enhance the positive effects of ethanol on combustion and emissions.

Life cycle assessment of fuel cell systems for light duty vehicles, current state-of-the-art and future impacts

Lorenzo Usai et al.

Summary: Electric vehicles are crucial for reducing emissions from light duty vehicles, with fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) offering potential benefits in driving range and fueling/charging rates. However, challenges such as lack of fueling infrastructure and high production costs hinder widespread adoption. Constant data updates and early detection of environmental impacts are necessary to guide technological progress. Assessments show that FCEV systems have lower environmental performance in certain components, but future technological developments combined with renewable energy sources could lead to significant reductions in environmental footprints.

Dual injection: An effective and efficient technology to use renewable fuels in spark ignition engines

Yuhan Huang et al.

Summary: Dual injection engines, using renewable fuels such as ethanol, methanol and hydrogen, have advantages including greater control flexibility, knock mitigation, engine downsizing, extended lean-burn limits, higher thermal efficiency and reductions of several emission species. Each renewable fuel targets different advantages of dual injection, with alcohol-gasoline dual injection providing anti-knock ability and hydrogen-gasoline dual injection extending lean-burn limits. Dual injection generally demonstrates higher thermal efficiency than single injection and effectively reduces particulate emissions.
