Abstract
|
Emulsion
fuel, an unconventional fuel for diesel engines, can be used without engine
modification. Emulsion fuel advantages include lowering the emissions of
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Authors describe the
effect of water in emulsion fuel on the emissions of NOx, PM, carbon monoxide
(CO), hydrocarbon (HC), smoke and exhaust temperature.
Experimental results reveal a simultaneous decrease in NOx and PM emissions. However, the results with the increasing water percentage in emulsion fuel are not consistent for HC and CO emissions. The water content in emulsion fuel affects the combustion and reduces the peak temperature in the combustion chamber. On the other hand, microexplosion phenomenon occurs, causing an increase in the volatility of diesel fuel, resulting in combustion efficiency. |
