Research regarding water and methanol injection upon the physical parameters of emissions’ concentration values on a compression ignition engine

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate the possibility of lowering pollution and improving the characteristics of a compression ignition engine for both stand-alone and hybrid-electric powered vehicles. Due to the necessity for lowering the output of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions concentrations on compression ignition engines, the research focuses on the addition of water injection. A benefit is the active cooling of the combustion to increase the boost pressure is revealed. Ignition timing can be increased to higher values, safety, without exposing the engine to higher thermal load. Specific fuel consumption is also decreased due to the lower value of the existing and final attested by the exhaust gas temperature.
