Experimental research on ethyl acetate as novel oxygenated fuel in the spark-ignition (SI) engine

Abdulvahap Cakmak et al.

Summary: This experimental research investigates the effects of adding ethyl acetate, a new and renewable oxygenated fuel, to gasoline on engine performance and exhaust emissions. The results show that ethyl acetate blends have advantages in reducing CO and HC emissions, but lead to a dramatic increase in NOX emissions and a deterioration in engine performance. Fuel cost analysis also reveals that ethyl acetate blends have higher fuel costs compared to gasoline.

Estimation of exergy-based sustainability index and performance evaluation of a novel intercooled hybrid gas turbine system

Abhinav Anand Sinha et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new sustainability index and modified exergy indicators for traditional gas turbines and solid oxide fuel cell-integrated gas turbine (SOFC-GT) hybrid power cycles. The performance of SOFC integration with intercooled gas turbine (Ic-GT) cycle is examined using numerical modeling and sustainability analysis. A comparison based on energy-exergy analysis shows that the Ic-SOFC-RGT configuration outperforms Ic-GT and Ic-RGT in terms of efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, modified exergy-based parameters are used to identify the most affected component in the three configurations.

Evaluation of the use of diesel-biodiesel-hexanol fuel blends in diesel engines with exergy analysis and sustainability index

Dervis Erol et al.

Summary: The research evaluated the usability of diesel-biodiesel and diesel-biodiesel-hexanol fuel blends as alternatives to diesel fuel in a compression ignition engine. Energy and exergy analyses were conducted and the sustainability index was calculated. The results showed that the diesel-biodiesel binary fuel blend was the most suitable alternative fuel, with higher thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency, and sustainability index values compared to pure diesel fuel. The sustainability index decreased with an increase in alcohol and hexanol ratios in the fuel blends.

The investigation of environmental behaviors by energy and exergy analyses using gasoline/ethanol fuel blends

Battal Dogan et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the use of ethanol/gasoline fuel blends in a single-cylinder spark-ignition engine through energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analysis. Experimental studies were conducted using different ratios of ethanol obtained from agricultural products added to gasoline as test fuels. The results showed that the highest efficiencies were achieved at 2500 rpm for all fuels, and increasing the ethanol ratio in fuel blends resulted in increased economic and environmental costs. It is considered appropriate to have an ethanol ratio between 30 and 40% in fuel blends for optimal economy and environmental impact.

Research on the usability of various oxygenated fuel additives in a spark-ignition engine considering thermodynamic and economic analyses

Murat Kadir Yesilyurt et al.

Summary: Thermodynamic and economic analyses were conducted on binary fuel blends (E15, EA15, M15, MA15, and T15) in a spark-ignition engine using commercial gasoline and oxygenated fuel additives. Performance and emission tests were carried out at various engine loads. Results showed that increasing engine load led to higher exergy losses and decreased unit cost of engine power exergy values. The pump price of each fuel blend affected the fuel cost rate. Exergy efficiency in fuel blends increased with increasing engine load, with the highest efficiency observed for gasoline fuel at 100% engine load. The T15 blend exhibited better energetic and exergetic performance compared to other binary blends.

Summary: This article analyzes the performance of 72 different biofuels routes based on 12 indicators covering the economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Results show that renewable diesel is a better option than ethanol-based blends or biodiesel, and waste biomass is preferred over cellulosic biomass or bio-oils. The selection of the carbon source is the most important decision and regional factors related to soil and climate should be considered.

Life Cycle and Exergoenvironmental Analyses of Ethanol: Performance of a Flex-Fuel Spark-Ignition Engine at Wide-Open Throttle Conditions

Eduardo J. C. Cavalcanti et al.

Summary: The increase in the number of vehicles has resulted in increased emissions of polluting gases. This study investigated the effect of ethanol content on a spark-ignition engine and found that hydrous ethanol had the highest energy efficiency at 1500rpm. The environmental impact rate of pollutant formation and the exergy efficiency had a greater impact on the environment than the environmental impact rate of fuel. The combined evaluation of exergoenvironmental factor and relative difference in environmental impact helped identify optimization priorities and areas for improvement.

Critical review on recent progress of ethanol fuelled flex-fuel engine characteristics

Gurusamy Azhaganathan et al.

Summary: Ethanol-powered spark ignition engines have the potential to mitigate the crisis of fossil fuel depletion and exhaust emissions. However, the promotion of ethanol is hindered by the limitations of the conventional engine design and fuel blend diversity. Flex-fuel engine technology can overcome the fuel flexibility issue and work with a wide range of ethanol blends. This study critically analyzes the technical aspects of flex-fuel engines and evaluates the effects of ethanol blends on engine performance, material compatibility, cold starting characteristics, and unregulated emissions.

Summary: Spark induced compression ignition (SICI) is a promising method for achieving high thermal efficiency and robust combustion control. With the increase of compression ratio, the popularization of bioethanol, and the development of NOx emission control technologies, high-efficiency and clean SICI combustion can be achieved under medium-to-high load. Ethanol-contained fuels can accelerate flame propagation but suppress the heat release rate of autoignition.
