“…Figure 7 indicates that the brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of all test fuels decreases with an increase in the engine load from 0.09 to 0.70 MPa with decreasing slope due to an increase in the brake thermal efficiency at higher engine loads. The results are similar to those reported in early works [15,16,25]. At each engine load, fuels having lower heating values (LHVs) require a higher fuel mass consumption rate to compensate their low-energy content for generating the same engine power.…”

This study investigated the inluence of a four-cylinder naturally aspirated directinjection diesel engine fueled with diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blended D"E) fuels tested at a steady state speed of rev/min under diferent engine loads, ethanol volume and intake carbon dioxide CO ) dilution ratios on engine performance, combustion characteristics, regulated gaseous emissions, and soot agglomerates. Overall, the experimental results indicate that D"E blends can in general improve brake thermal eiciency "TE) and reduce nitrogen oxides NO x ), carbon monoxide CO), CO , volatile organic fractions, particulate mass PM), and particulate number PN) concentrations, while brake-speciic fuel consumption "SFC) and hydrocarbon HC) might increase slightly. Compared with ultra-low-sulfur diesel, D"E blends can maintain a good tradeof relationship among PM-PN-NO x . Compared with biodiesel, the blended fuels perform beter in suppressing brake-speciic particle number emissions "SPN), leading to a reduction of ultraine and nanoparticle numbers. The combined efect of D"E blends with intake CO dilution has marginal efects on "SFC and "TE, signiicantly reducing NO x emission while slightly increasing particulate emissions. On particulate characteristics, D"E blends produce soots with curved, tortuous, and disorganized nanostructures with low soot burnout temperature and strong oxidation rate favoring PM-PN reduction.Keywords: diesel-biodiesel-ethanol, combustion characteristics, gaseous emissions, particle emissions, particle morphology © 2016 The Author(s).

“…Cu-ZSM5 and Pt/Al2O3. Such advantages include low activity for SO2 oxidation, relatively high thermal and hydrothermal durability (compared to Cu-ZSM5) and high selectivity to N2 (contrasting Pt-based catalysts which form considerable quantities of N2O) [7,8]. Further, addition of minute amount of H2 to the reductant leads to a significant increase in NOx reduction efficiency in presence of Ag/Al2O3 catalyst.…”

Hydrocarbon-Selective catalytic reduction (HC-SCR) is one of the potential methods to remove NOx emissions from diesel engine, lean burn petrol engines and natural gas engines exhaust. Ag/Al2O3 is a good catalyst for HC-SCR of NOx under lean-burn conditions. Further, addition of small amount of H2 is effective for enhancing HC-SCR activity. This effect is unique to silver and to specific Ag/support combinations, namely, Ag/γ-Al2O3. Various HC reductants, such as: octane, decane, dodecane and propane, have been reported in the literatures. Only a single study on LPG as a reductant over Cu-ZSM catalyst was reported. There was no work reported on H2 assisted LPG over Ag/Al2O3 catalyst. Thus, this gap in the literature is filled with the present investigation of NO reduction over 2 wt.% Ag/Al2O3 catalyst using LPG reductant. The fresh and used catalyst was characterized by various techniques like low temperature N2-adsorption, XRD, XPS and SEM. There was practically no change in the characteristics of the fresh and used catalyst. Two different reductants of CO and LPG were compared for SCR of NO over the catalyst without and with H2-assisted. The experiments were performed in a fixed bed tubular flow reactor under the following conditions: 100mg catalyst; 0.13% NO, 2.5% LPG/CO, 1% H2, 10% O2, rest Ar; total flow rate 60 mL/min; temperature ambient 400 o C and pressure 1 atm. Around 100% conversion of NO was achieved using LPG reductant. Light off temperature of NO reduction significantly reduced by H2assisted LPG reductant. The maximum conversion of NO with CO was limited to 35.15% at temperature of 224 o C and above. Whereas, 97.79 % NO conversion was achieved at 365 o C with LPG reductant. While, the maximum conversions with H2-LPG and H2-CO reductants were 100 and 99.46% at 117 and 220 o C, respectively. Therefore, H2-LPG-SCR of NOx over 2 wt.% Ag/Al2O3 catalyst system can be used to get 100% reduction at low temperature.

Vegetable oils as fuel have received attention in recent years due to their advantages including renewable nature and domestically produced energy resources. Achieving reduced emission is important subject, as it enhances sustainability of biofuels. General factorial experimental design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to analyze how NOx emission is influenced by alcohol content in vegetable oil-diesel fuel blends. Fuel samples 20% croton oil -80% diesel (20%CRO-80%D2), 15% croton oil -5% 1-butanol -80% diesel (15%CRO-5%BU-80%D2), and 10% croton oil -10% 1-butanol -80% diesel (10%CRO-10%BU-80%D2) were investigated. Four-cylinder compression-ignition (CI) engine was run at constant speed 3000 RPM, loaded at different loading conditions: low idle as 0 to 100% load condition. The specific fuel consumption and exhaust temperature of fuel blend containing butanol was measured. It was observed that nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission decreases as percentage of butanol alcohol content increases in fuel samples.
