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...

A limited hydrogen (H2) energy share due to knocking is the major hurdle for effective utilization of H2 in compression ignition (CI) engines under dual-fuel operation. The present study aims at improvement of H2 energy share in a 7.4kW direct injection CI engine under dual-fuel mode with two...

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...

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...
