This work is aimed at study of maximum available work and irreversibility (mixing, combustion, unburned, and friction) of a dual-fuel diesel engine (H2 (hydrogen)–diesel) using exergy analysis. The maximum available work increased with H2 addition due to reduction in irreversibility of...

The fuel economy and mass emission of an automotive spark ignition vehicle fuelled with the methane enriched biogas (93% CH4) and base CNG (89.14%) were evaluated using chassis dynamometer under modified Indian driving cycle (MIDC). The transient emissions were also measured with respect to...

A CFD (computational fluid dynamics) study was conducted on a diesel engine (7.4kW) under dual-fuel mode (diesel–CNG (compressed natural gas), and diesel–H2 (hydrogen)) for optimization of gas injector orientation (location and angle). The critical distance of gas injector between intake...

As flame kernel growth plays a major role in combustion of premixed-charge in spark ignition engines for higher energy efficiency and less emission, the experimental study was carried out on a single cylinder spark ignition research engine for measurement of flame kernel growth rate (FKGR) using...

Recent petroleum crises, rapidly increasing its prices and uncertainties concerning petroleum availability threaten the sustainable development of the world economy. Both the environmental concern and availability of fuels greatly affect fuel trends for transportation vehicles. The present work...
