Book Synopsis Prospects for Alternative Fuels in Heavy-duty Diesel Engines with Sootless Emissions by : Gregory Roberts
Download or read book Prospects for Alternative Fuels in Heavy-duty Diesel Engines with Sootless Emissions written by Gregory Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emission of carbonaceous particulate matter (soot) from work-producing devices is a global problem. Direct-injection, compression-ignited (Diesel) engines are a source of soot emissions that are problematic because they are mobile and operate regularly within populated regions. The subsequent effect on air quality is a serious health concern due to their small size and potential penetrability within the human body through the lungs. Furthermore, their contribution to atmospheric aerosols has a significantly negative effect on the environment. The problem with Diesel engine combustion is primarily a function of the fuel properties and subsequent combustion kinetics. The attraction of No.~2 Diesel fuel is that it is easily autoignitable, and for a typical direct-injection, compression-ignited engine this is a desirable quality. By employing a high-temperature combustion strategy, however, a host of alternative fuels become viable. This work addresses the prospects for using non-traditional fuels within a direct-injection, compression-ignited engine. A number of alternative fuels are identified as having potential, namely methanol, ethanol, butanol, dimethyl ether, synthesis gas, and methane (as a surrogate for natural gas). These are attractive because they are either oxygenated (and rely less on ambient gas entrainment) or gaseous (and can turbulently mix with ease). The combustion behavior of each fuel is examined by two means: First, a simple and well-controlled apparatus allows single-jet combustion to be imaged with a high-frame-rate, color digital camera. Second, a computationally efficient, quasi-dimensional jet model is used to explore each fuel with a detailed chemical mechanism, and includes a multi-step soot model. Once each fuel is examined independently, a subset are identified as forming too much soot such that their use within a production engine would emit levels above the EPA regulation standard. Two separate soot reduction methods are then explored within this work: dilution of the fuel with water, and dilution of the ambient gas with exhaust gas species. For each strategy, images are obtained that provide direct evidence of reduced soot formation. The jet model is then examined in detail to gain deeper insight into the potential mechanisms leading to the observed soot reduction.

Book Synopsis Automotive Fuels Reference Book by : Paul Richards
Download or read book Automotive Fuels Reference Book written by Paul Richards and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first two editions of this title, published by SAE International in 1990 and 1995, have been best-selling definitive references for those needing technical information about automotive fuels. This long-awaited new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, yet retains the original fundamental fuels information that readers find so useful. This book is written for those with an interest in or a need to understand automotive fuels. Because automotive fuels can no longer be developed in isolation from the engines that will convert the fuel into the power necessary to drive our automobiles, knowledge of automotive fuels will also be essential to those working with automotive engines. Small quantities of fuel additives increasingly play an important role in bridging the gap that often exists between fuel that can easily be produced and fuel that is needed by the ever-more sophisticated automotive engine. This book pulls together in a single, extensively referenced volume, the three different but related topics of automotive fuels, fuel additives, and engines, and shows how all three areas work together. It includes a brief history of automotive fuels development, followed by chapters on automotive fuels manufacture from crude oil and other fossil sources. One chapter is dedicated to the manufacture of automotive fuels and fuel blending components from renewable sources. The safe handling, transport, and storage of fuels, from all sources, are covered. New combustion systems to achieve reduced emissions and increased efficiency are discussed, and the way in which the fuels’ physical and chemical characteristics affect these combustion processes and the emissions produced are included. There is also discussion on engine fuel system development and how these different systems affect the corresponding fuel requirements. Because the book is for a global market, fuel system technologies that only exist in the legacy fleet in some markets are included. The way in which fuel requirements are developed and specified is discussed. This covers test methods from simple laboratory bench tests, through engine testing, and long-term test procedures.

Book Synopsis Alternative Fuels for Road Vehicles by : Mark L. Poulton
Download or read book Alternative Fuels for Road Vehicles written by Mark L. Poulton and published by WIT Press (UK). This book was released on 1994 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The many alternative fuels that have been reviewed in this book are likely to be of great interest to a broad readership, not only to mechanical, petrochemical and transportation engineers, but anyone with a technical association with the subject. The book covers fuels for the motor vehicle and how they may develop and change in the future. Prospects for conventional petrol and diesel fuels are discussed, including their reformulation, as well as synthetic fuels, vegetable oils and other biofuels, alcohols, gases (LPG, natural gas and hydrogen) and electricity." "This book has been published as a consequence of a programme of study, commissioned by the Chief Mechanical Engineer's Office at the UK Department of Transport, into the contribution of the road vehicle to global warming. A programme of research was placed with the Environment Centre of the Transport Research Laboratory, and one of the individual projects was to investigate the future prospects for conventional and alternative fuels for road vehicles. Implications for the energy and emissions from the whole fuel cycle (from production to distribution and final usage) were considered, but, more importantly, the vehicular fuel consumption (and consequent carbon dioxide emissions) and exhaust emission characteristics were the primary focus of attention." "The structure of this book is such that each chapter describes a particular alternative fuel and is completely self-contained. The reader will be able to cover a particular subject that is of interest without having to refer to other chapters to gain a full understanding of the fuel's characteristics, notable developments and demonstration programmes underway worldwide. One chapter (chapter 10) does provide an overview and inter-comparison of all the fuels discussed, including point-of-use and life cycle emissions, global warming impacts, fuel storage implications and likely costs." "Future advances in conventional engines and the development of alternative power units are discussed in the companion volume to this book, Alternative Engines for Road Vehicles. The future prospects for a range of engines, including conventional petrol and diesel-fuelled units (covering technologies such as two-stroke, lean burn and stratified charge), the rotary engine, gas turbine, Stirling, Rankine (steam engine) and hybrids are assessed for their potential to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy. Other less well known concepts such as catalytic combustion, the Quadratic (beam) engine, stepped piston and other engine efficiency techniques are also reviewed." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on clean transport and mobility essential to the modern world. It discusses internal combustion engines (ICEs) and alternatives like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are growing fast. Alternatives to ICEs start from a very low base and face formidable environmental, material availability, and economic challenges to unlimited and rapid growth. Hence ICEs will continue to be the main power source for transport for decades to come and have to be continuously improved to improve transport sustainability. The book highlights the need to assess proposed changes in the existing transport system on a life cycle basis. The volume includes chapters discussing the challenges faced by ICEs as well as chapters on novel fuels and fuel/ engine interactions which help in this quest to improve the efficiency of ICE and reduce exhaust pollutants. This book will be of interest to those in academia and industry alike.
