“…Methane has a lower unstretched and stretched laminar burning velocity when the gas temperature is higher than 450 K (due to Markestein numbers) (Liss and Thrasher, 1991;Goodwin and Whiston, 1991;Duan, 1996;Bradley et al, 1992). This proves that the total combustion duration is prolonged compared to diesel and gasoline fuel.…”

Environmental improvement and energy issues are increasingly becoming more important as worldwide concerns. Natural gas is a good alternative fuel that can help to improve these issues because of its large quantity and clean burning characteristics. This paper provides the experimental performance results of a Bi-Fuel engine that uses Compressed Natural Gas as its Primary fuel and gasoline as its secondary fuel. This engine is a modification of the basic 1.4-liter gasoline engine. Generally, on the unmodified base engine, torque and power for CNG fuel are considerably lower than gasoline fuel. In this paper, the influence of fuels on wall temperature, performance and emissions are investigated.

“…Four mixtures listed in Table I were chosen to represent observed variability in NG composition. Pure methane represents an extreme that can occur when LNG is the source, delivering a methane content as high as 99.6% [7], while the mean mixture is a capacity-weighted mean [1]. The high ethane mixture represents an extreme high ethane content fuel typical of Colorado NG fuels [1], and the peak shaving gas is an example of natural gas supplied when propane/air peak shaving additions are made.…”

“…The composition of natural gas depends on geological and biological factors and therefore the gas composition changes depending on its source. Liss and Thrasher [41] have done a detailed study of the chemical and physical properties of natural gas in ten major areas of the U.S. They observed that while there is a seasonal effect in a few locations, the gas composition variations tend to occur randomly with time.…”

“…Natural gas composition varies depending on its source and on geological and biological factors. Further, during periods when demand is high, some local companies add a mixture of propane and air in quantities ranging from 20 to 50 percent of the overall volume [4,5]. At this high level of propane and inerts, methane may not dominate the properties of natural gas.…”

The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
