Experimental investigation of methane-enriched biogas in a single cylinder diesel engine by the dual fuel mode

C. Jagadish et al.

Summary: This experimental study investigates the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a single cylinder, four-stroke, constant speed, direct injection, water-cooled diesel engine. The engine operates in dual fuel mode using methane-enriched biogas obtained from food waste. Various mixtures of biogas and air are introduced into the engine at different loads, and the results are compared to diesel operation. The experimental results show that the optimized mixture ratio, BG40, exhibits lower emissions and improved performance compared to diesel.

Experimental analysis of effective combustion heat release rate for improving the performance of synthetic biogas-diesel dual-fuel engine

Avinash H. Kolekar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of combustion mode on the performance and emission characteristics of dual-fuel engines by analyzing the heat release rate. The study introduces a new parameter, Combustion Time Coefficient (CTC), along with the HRR-Balanced Coefficient (HBC) to quantify the combustion timing and heat release patterns. Experimental results show that increasing CTC and reducing HBC have a positive effect on the engine's efficiency, HC, and CO emissions, while leading to an increase in NOx emissions. These parameters can be utilized to identify optimal working conditions for dual-fuel engines.

Effects of operating parameters on the performance, emission and combustion indices of a biogas fuelled HCCI engine

M. Feroskhan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the operation of a HCCI engine using simulated biogas and DEE as fuels, with a focus on performance, emissions, and combustion parameters. The research reveals that high biogas flow rates or methane content can effectively substitute DEE and provide significant energy input, while lower biogas flow rates and methane fractions lead to improved thermal efficiency and reduced HC emissions. Intake heating improves engine performance and emissions, although it may increase the tendency to knock, and manifold injection shows superior engine output compared to port injection.
