▼ Abstract: Cold start in
Diesel engines is a problem which has not yet been properly solved and becomes particularly critical with the current trend to reduce the emission levels at low temperatures and engine compression ratio addressed to fuel consumption decrease. Although it is clear that there are some key factors whose control leads to a proper cold start process, their individual relevance and relations are not clearly understood. Thereby, the efforts on optimization of the cold start process are mainly based on a trial-and-error procedure in climatic chambers at low ambient temperature, with serious limitations in terms of measurement reliability, low repeatability and high experiments costs. The objective of this work is to study cold start auxiliary components of
Diesel engines in order to acquire knowledge on this topic for application in engines in a way that they can be used in regions with low temperatures with reliable performance. The components studied will be presented, as well as its application and importance of providing appropriate conditions to engine cold start. In addition, an overview will be given on the contribution that these components are going to bring in the reduction of emissions and fuel consumption

▼ En un motor
diesel, la mayoría de los mecanismos físico-químicos vinculados al proceso de combustión dependen directamente de las características del proceso de inyección de combustible. Además de las condiciones de funcionamiento (presión y ley de inyección, densidad del aire en el cilindro), el tamaño y la geometría de los orificios de las toberas de inyección tienen un efecto importante sobre este proceso. Aunque no es la única, la principal consecuencia de la geometría de los orificios sobre el proceso de inyección es la presencia o ausencia del fenómeno de la cavitación.
El presente trabajo parte de una revisión de la bibliografía existente relacionada con el fenómeno de la cavitación, en donde se puede concluir que existen relativamente pocos estudios que se hayan centrado en estudiar las consecuencias de la presencia de la cavitación sobre los diferentes aspectos de los mecanismos de inyección, de evaporación, y de formación de hollín. Algunos de estos pocos estudios han mostrado que, adicionalmente al colapso del caudal másico (que es el efecto más observado) la presencia de la cavitación conlleva un aumento significativo de la velocidad efectiva de inyección, así como una aceleración del proceso de mezcla y de combustión. Con el fin de confirmar estas constataciones experimentales se define como objetivo principal de la presente tesis el profundizar en el conocimiento de la influencia de la cavitación en toberas de inyección
diesel sobre el proceso de inyección, el de mezcla y el de formación de hollín.
Para la consecución del objetivo antes descrito, el presente estudio se ha dividido en tres partes en las que se han utilizado, por un lado, dos toberas de tres orificios, una con un elevado nivel de cavitación (tobera cilíndrica) y otra en la que se inhibe el fenómeno de la cavitación (tobera cónica), y, por otro lado, herramientas experimentales y teóricas. En la primera parte, se ha estudiado primero el efecto de la cavitación sobre la velocidad efectiv

▼ The demand for the energy has increased drastically
as a result of the rapid growth in industrialisation, urbanisation
and higher standard of living. The present fossil fuel crisis
associated with increase in vehicle population is posing a
challenge all over the world. The augmentation of the use of
automobiles manifold every year and the tail pipe emissions are
also increasing abnormally leading to air pollution and human
health degradation. Scientists and researchers have to focus their
attention on finding an ecofriendly, energy efficient fuel to
replace fossil fuel, particularly diesel in transport sectors. The
main objective of the present work is to use alternative fuels
which are renewable in nature and performing better than Diesel
Fuel (DF). Our context is to utilize biofuels namely eucalyptus oil
and turpentine oil as a replacement to diesel fuel. In first phase,
the work was carried out to analyse the performance, combustion and
emission characteristics of direct injection diesel engine powered
by blends of eucalyptus oil with diesel fuel and standard DF
operated with standard Compression Ratio (CR 17.5) and various
compression ratios (CR15, CR16, CR17 and CR18). For this purpose,
five different blends containing 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 % of
eucalyptus oil with diesel fuel were prepared in volume basis and
tested in engine run with standard compression ratio (CR 17.5).
Results indicated that the Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) is
increased about 6.2% for 60:40 Diesel Fuel / Eucalyptus Oil Fuel
(DF/EOF) blend as compared to DF. Further the results showed that
60:40 DF/EOF blend has 16.7%, 25 % and 15.15% reduction of smoke,
Carbonmonoxide (CO) and Unburnt Hydrocarbon (UBHC) emission as
compared to standard DF at full load condition respectively. Oxides
of Nitrogen (NOX) emission is slightly reduced for this blend as
compared to DF. The heat release rate and cylinder pressures are
increased positively.

▼ É difundido na literatura especializada que o uso de misturas de biodiesel e diesel de petróleo reduz as emissões dos compostos de enxofre. Esses compostos são responsáveis por inúmeras enfermidades respiratórias, além de provocar danos ao catalisador automotivo, contribuindo desta forma para a emissão de outros poluentes. Neste trabalho fez-se uma identificação dos compostos de enxofre, antes da queima no motor, presentes no diesel e em misturas de biodiesel/diesel de diferentes fontes. A metodologia empregada foi a cromatografia de fase gasosa e inicialmente empregou-se um detector de ionização por chama de hidrogênio para ajuste das condições operacionais, por ser um detector considerado universal e capaz de identificar tanto os majoritários hidrocarbonetos como os compostos de enxofre. Em seguida aplicou-se os parâmetros operacionais obtidos a um cromatógrafo à gás acoplado a um detector seletivo para enxofre, o SCD (sulphur chemiluminescence detector) para a identificação apenas dos compostos de enxofre. Após a obtenção dos dados teóricos em laboratório, foi realizada a análise de compostos mercaptídicos produzidas pelas emissões de um ônibus do Rio de Janeiro abastecido com diesel puro e misturas diesel/biodiesel nas proporções (v/v) 2% (B2), 5% (B5), 10% (B10), and 20% (B20). Os resultados indicaram uma redução dos compostos de enxofre proporcional à adição do biodiesel tanto na teoria quanto na prática
The mixing of biodiesel and petroleum diesel is being widely used as an attempt to reduce the emissions of sulfur compounds. These compounds are responsible for pollution, causing several diseases, as some breath problems. Sulfur compounds cause car catalyst poisoning and deactivation of processing, contributing with undesirable emissions of other toxic compounds. The goal of this work was to identify sulfur compounds in diesel and in some biodiesel mixtures of different sources. Gas chromatography system coupled with FID (flame ionization detector) was the methodology initially employed, for adjustment of the operational conditions, since FID is a low selectivity detector capable of identifying sulfur compounds and the majority of hydrocarbons. For the sulfur identification, a selective detector for sulfur compounds was employed (SCD - sulfur chemiluminescence detector). After the initial tests realized in the lab, analyses were carried out in a typical Brazilian urban bus fleet, to quantify the presence of mercaptans. The bus was fueled with pure diesel and with different biodiesel blends (v v) of 2% (B2), 5% (B5), 10% ( B10) and 20% (B20). The samples were collected from a real bus in use. Obtained results showed that the addition of biodiesel decreases proportionally the presence of sulfur compounds

▼ Un motor Diesel funcionando en modo Diesel/gas y a cargas bajas tiende a
disminuir su rendimiento y producir más emisiones de hidrocarburos (HC) y
monóxido de carbono (CO) en los gases de escape, especialmente cuando se
utilizan altas proporciones de sustitución de gas natural.
Por tal motivo en esta investigación se utilizan dos técnicas para controlar las
emisiones de estos contaminantes y mejorar el rendimiento efectivo del motor,
la restricción parcial del aire de admisión, para producir una mezcla de gas
natural-aire eficazmente rica y el incremento de la temperatura de la mezcla airegas
natural, para promover una mejor combustión.
Un motor Diesel adaptado a un banco de pruebas en el Laboratorio de Energía
de la PUCP que funciona en modo diesel original y modo Diesel/gas natural se
utiliza a través de la experimentación.
Se analizan los parámetros del consumo específico de combustibles (diesel y
gas), rendimiento efectivo, presión en el interior del cilindro y emisiones de HC,
CO y óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx) en los gases de escape. Los ensayos son
realizados en una amplia gama de condiciones de funcionamiento (velocidad del
motor, carga y relación de sustitución Diesel/gas).
La eficiencia efectiva y las emisiones de HC, CO y NOx del modo Diesel/gas se
encuentra afectadas cuando se utiliza la restricción parcial de aire y una mayor
temperatura de la mezcla aire - gas natural. Los resultados demuestran que es
posible mejor las prestaciones del modo Diesel/gas en el uso de ambas técnicas.

Oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene with tert-butyl peroxide in a carbon nanotube supported corona discharge microreactor.

▼ Sulfur content in fuel is an increasingly important environmental concern. A
commonly used method for the removal of sulfur bearing species from fuel is
through hydrodesulphurization. However, due to the implementation of Ultra-Low
Diesel Sulfur (ULDS), deeper desulphurization techniques must be explored. In this
study, a single phase oxidative desulphurization microreactor is crafted for this
purpose.
The proposed microreactor is built around the concept of corona discharge. The
corona is created through a significant potential difference between a carbon
nanotube supported emitter electrode and a stainless steel collector electrode.
The current that passes through the two electrodes acts as a catalytic agent for the
oxidation of the sulfur bearing species.
Dibenzothiophene and tert-butyl peroxide are mixed with decane into two separate
feed streams. The two feed streams are sent through a micromixer and continue
into the reactor. The reactor system is activated and current flows within the
reaction volume between the two electrodes. The proposed reaction mechanism is
similar to that of the photooxidation of dibenzothiophene in which the peroxide is
cleaved by the electrical energy and subsequently reacts with the sulfur to form its oxides, sulfoxides and sulfones, respectively. Due to the high polarity of these
products, they are easily extracted from the fuel stream.
Experiments testing the capabilities of the proposed reactor include varying the
applied current to the reaction volume, inlet concentrations of both the fuel and
oxidant streams, the reactor volume residence time, the post-reactor volume
residence time, and the effect of aging upon the oxidant stream.
This proposed microreactor was successfully crafted and the corona successfully
discharged between the emitter and collector electrodes. Testing of the reactor's
capabilities suggest that the proposed oxidation mechanism is not strictly
duplicated within this microreactor system. For this first generation reactor system,
a maximum conversion of 68% of dibenzothiophene to its sulfoxide and sulfone has
been found. Dissolved oxygen in decane was also found to be a sufficient oxidant
source to initiate the oxidative reaction and has been shown to continue to be an
oxidant source even in the presence of peroxide.

▼ Pesquisas têm sido fomentadas em busca de alternativas ecologicamente e economicamente viáveis para tratar ambientes impactados por petroderivados, como a biorremediação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a capacidade de um consórcio fúngico que apresente potencial para degradar óleo
diesel, estabelecendo as condições adequadas em processo de biorremediação ex situ. Para estabelecer condições mais promissoras de fatores nutricionais e físico-químicos foram utilizados planejamentos fatoriais, permitindo testar simultaneamente variáveis como: pH, concentrações de inóculo, glicerol e nitrato de amônia. Ao final dos ensaios foram avaliadas as variáveis resposta: a degradação de hidrocarbonetos por cromatografia gasosa e análise da toxicidade dos subprodutos sobre células vegetais e células humanas mononucleares de sangue periférico. Tendo conhecimento da melhor condição para o processo de biodegradação, essa foi aplicada em experimentos em biorreator para tratar um volume maior e em condições controladas. O consórcio foi formado pelos fungos Cunninghamella elegans, Rhizopus arrhizus e Aspergillus niger, pois, além da capacidade de degradação não apresentaram interação negativa. A melhor condição encontrada nos ensaios realizados em frascos (volume total 100mL), contendo 10% de óleo
diesel, foi: 1 bloco de gelose de Cunninghamella elegans, 1 bloco de gelose de Rhizopus arrhizus e 2 blocos de gelose de Aspergillus niger, 1,5 g/L de NH₄NO₃, 2 mL de glicerol, pH inicial de 8,5. A degradação do óleo
diesel alcançou média de degradação de até 97,41% em biorreator, enquanto alguns hidrocarbonetos foram degradados completamente. A toxicidade do material residual do processo também foi reduzida quando comparada ao poluente, permitindo a germinação das sementes testadas e resistência das células mononucleadas do sangue periférico humano. Sendo assim, o consórcio fúngico apresenta potencial para ser utilizado em processos de biorremediação de locais contaminados por óleo
diesel.

▼ The objective of this research is to determine the influence of liquid water content on the toxicity of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) to soil microorganisms in frozen soil. This research was conducted on soil collected from an aged
diesel fuel spill site at Casey Station, East Antarctica, as well as on spiked
diesel contaminated soil from Macquarie Island, a sub-Antarctic island.
Suitable soil biogeochemical toxicity endpoints for PHC contamination were identified using sub-Antarctic soil from Macquarie Island spiked with
diesel fuel. The sensitivity of nitrification, denitrification, carbohydrate utilization and total soil respiration to
diesel fuel was assessed. Potential nitrification activity (PNA) was the most sensitive indicator of contamination assessed for nitrogen cycling, with a PHC concentration effecting microbial activity by 20% of the control response, EC20, of 190 mg PHC kg-1 soil.
Petroleum hydrocarbon toxicity in polar soil was assessed by sampling 32 locations at an aged
diesel spill site at Casey Station, East Antarctica. Samples were taken nine times throughout an austral summer to encompass frozen, thaw and refreeze periods. Toxicity was assessed using potential activities of substrate induced respiration, total respiration, nitrification, denitrification, and metabolic quotient, as well as microbial community composition and bacterial biomass. The most sensitive indicator was community composition with an EC25 of 800 mg kg-1, followed by nitrification (2000 mg kg-1), microbial biomass (2400 mg kg-1) and soil respiration (3500 mg kg-1). Despite changes in potential microbial activities and composition over the frozen/thaw/refreeze period, the sensitivity of these endpoints to PHC did not change with liquid water or temperature.
The influence of liquid water (èliquid) on nutrient supply rate and gas diffusion, which are important factors in microbial degradation of PHC, was determined using contaminated soil from Casey Station. Freezing reduced nutrient supply rate of both NH4+ and NO3-. However, an increase in èliquid was linked to increases in nitrate and ammonia nutrient supply rates in frozen soil. Similarly for gas diffusion, decreases in Ds due to freezing were much more pronounced in soils with low èliquid compared to soils with higher èliquid contents. Further research is needed to determine whether bioremediation in cold regions could be enhanced during the period of time where the soil temperature is below 0 °C by controlling factors that increase the amount of liquid water.
The influence of liquid water content on the in situ toxicity of PHC to soil microorganisms was evaluated using stable isotope dilution technique to measure gross mineralization and nitrification, which was compared to the toxicity endpoints of potential microbial activities. Liquid water content did not have a significant effect on either gross mineralization or nitrification. Gross nitrification was sensitive to PHC contamination, with toxicity decreasing over time. The EC25 value for gross…

▼ Midwest agriculture depends heavily on corn, soybean, and wheat production which requires considerable
diesel fuel to meet producer output objectives. An ability to anticipate fuel price movements may allow producers, farm managers, and fuel distributors to better plan their transactions to reduce costs or to hedge against price change. Despite potential gains from understanding
diesel fuel price movements, little research has been performed to generate and assess
diesel price forecasts. This research focuses on developing and evaluating the effectiveness of futures-based, structural-based, and time-series models to forecast
diesel prices. Several composite forecast techniques, such as averaging, least squared regressions, and Harvey, Leybourne, and Newbold encompassing procedures also are evaluated to determine if they can improve forecasting performance. Models are specified and evaluated during an in-sample period, March 1994-February 2002, for one-, two-, and three-month forecast horizons. Using the in-sample specifications that are re-estimated each month for an out-of-sample period, March 2002-December 2008,
diesel fuel price forecasts are developed and assessed. For the out-of-sample period, models are re-estimated recursively, and by using 4-year, 8-year rolling-window regressions to allow for the effects of structural change on forecast performance.
During the in-sample period, no individual model consistently outperforms its rivals. However, composite forecasting methods improve forecast precision, but they are not statistically superior to the individual forecasts. Further, composite methods are generally not able to anticipate price changes as well as the individual models, which are led by the ARIMA specification. During the out-of-sample period, model performance decreases relative to the earlier period as new information and events emerge. In particular, mean squared errors gradually increase throughout the out-of-sample period. Among the models, forecast errors are highly correlated and anticipated information gains from combining forecasts do not arise. As a reflection of changing market conditions, 4-year rolling-window estimates clearly dominate forecast performance for all models and forecast horizons. Despite coefficients that are rarely significant, relative inventory-based models consistently are most accurate, suggesting the importance of allowing for inventories particularly in periods of low stocks and high prices. Interestingly, most models are able to anticipate price changes relatively well, with crude oil futures-based and time series models correctly identifying the direction of price change 60-80 percent of the time.
Clearly, forecasting in periods of structural change is challenging. The research here suggests forecasts based on a relatively short rolling-window framework provide the most precise
diesel fuel price estimates which are able to identify the direction of price change with reasonable accuracy. Further research may find it useful to consider allowing…

In an AC1W IDI Lister Petter diesel engine, ignition delay reduced exponentially with
an increase in engine speed for hempseed oil (HSO), camelina seed oil (CSO) and rapeseed oil (RSO). The polyunsaturated fuels HSO produced ignition delays which were 0.6 to 12.4%, 18.7 to 32.1% and 10.8 to 26.8% longer than RSO, rapeseed methyl
ester (RME) and mineral diesel (MD) fuel respectively whilst CSO produced ignition
delays which were 0 to 9.8%, 18.4 to 29.1% and 11.8 to 24.8% longer than RSO, RME
and MD fuel respectively. Ignition delays increased with a 5o Crank Angle (CA)
advance in fuel injection timing by 2.7 to 19.2%, 0.9 to 11.1% and 0.12 to 17.0% for
RSO, CSO and HSO respectively. A reduction in ignition delay was noted for RSO,
CSO and HSO by 5 to 7.1%, 1.4 to 9.5% and 7.9 to 13.5% except above 3100rpm at
5 °CA retarded fuel injection timing. Maximum power outputs of HSO (4.12kW), and
CSO(4.38kW) were lower when compared with MD fuel (4.43kW) however maximum power outputs for RSO (4.47kW) and RME (4.63kW) were both higher when compared with MD fuel (4.43kW) at standard fuel injection timing. After 28 days HSO, CSO, RME and WCOME increased in acid value from 8.1 to 178.4% and peroxide value varied from -63.64% to 321.85%. Ignition delay, combustion chamber peak pressure signal and rate of pressure rise were unaffected by storage of the oils. Advancing fuel injection timing by 5 °CA in a 1.5L Tempest (BMC) engine had no significant effect on the power, torque and BMEP for RME, NOx and smoke emissions increased by 10.7 to 41.5% and by 24.5 to 74.3% respectively and CO reduced by 14.4 to 21.6% at BMEP<250kPa; but mean CO was higher by 1.2 to 21.9% for RME for 500kPa>BMEP>250kPa. HSO and CSO gave 4.9% and 5.6% higher maximum power than RSO, 12.6% and 13.3% more than RME and WCOME and 17.4% and 18.1% more
than MD fuel respectively in a 1.8L NA IDI Ford Courier. HSO used 2.6 to 15.9% and
1.8 to 11.2% more fuel than RME and WCOME respectively whilst CSO used 2.1 to
16.3% and 2.1 to 12% more fuel than RME and WCOME respectively except above
3700rpm. HSO and CSO used 9.1 to 42.6% and 0 to 43.1% more fuel than MD fuel for
all engine speeds. Mean NOx increased by 11.4 to 40.2% for HSO and 15.7 to 35.1%
for CSO above 1800rpm compared with RME. NOx was higher by 11.9 to 34.6% for
HSO and by 16.2 to 29.7% higher for CSO for all engine speeds than WCOME. Both
HSO and CSO increased NOx by 6.9 to 55.1% and 5.1 to 56.9% compared with MD fuel above 1800rpm. RME and WCOME gave 2.2 to 26.7% and 1.8 to 25% greater NOx respectively than MD fuel above 3750rpm. After 492kWh use, RME gave carbon deposits on cylinder head, valves, piston crown and fuel injector in a 2kW DI diesel generator and the top piston ring was seized. Carbon build up on the inlet valve and port was between 1.2 x 10-3 and 3.8 x 10-3mm/kWh. An exponential rise in lubricating oil consumption and fuel consumption after 288kWh indicated the start of engine wear out. Neoprene and reinforced polyurethane are not suitable materials for RME fuel…

▼ Diesel, one of the main petroleum products, is
widely used in industry and transportation. Only high quality
diesel product can survive in the more and more competitive market.
The optimization methodology for
diesel production and management
is critical to refineries’ profitability. LP/MIP models have been
applied in
diesel blending planning and scheduling in the last
decades. With the benefits of reducing the model scale and
computing efforts, LP/MIP models lead to operation results with
inaccurate property estimation and profit loss due to the accuracy
loss in the linearisation of blending models. To improve model
accuracy, more accurate property prediction models for
diesel
blending should be incorporated into the refinery planning and
schedule methods to improve decision making procedure in the case
of scheduling for
diesel blending, where academic effort is almost
absent. A model for planning of refinery
diesel streams is
developed to optimise the
diesel production of a refinery.
Nonlinear blending models are applied to calculate blending
properties more precisely than conventional linear models. Due to
the large number of equations and variables, it may be generated to
an infeasible solution if the given initial points are not good
enough. To avoid this situation, a solution algorithm is proposed.
Based on the NLP planning model, a model for scheduling
diesel
blending is developed. In order to improve the model accuracy,
nonlinear blending correlations are used, which lead to a
complicated MINLP problem that cannot be solved by existing MINLP
solver directly. A robust solution algorithm is proposed in this
thesis to help optimizing the MINLP problem. A case study of
diesel
production blending scheduling is introduced to illustrate how to
model a
diesel blending scheduling problem and the efficient and
reliability of the solution algorithm. Besides, the proposed MINLP
model and the solution algorithm can be extensively applied to
other processes in a refinery, such as gasoline blending. Once
gasoline blending models are taken into account, the model can be
modified to optimize the gasoline blending scheduling
problem.

▼ Modern
Diesel engines rely heavily on aftertreatment systems for reducing tail pipe emissions. However, for operating conditions such as cold start, extended low load operations and idling aftertreatment systems cannot maintain a high enough temperature of approximately 200° C to maintain catalyst activity. In crowded urban areas actual driving conditions may significantly differ from FTP cycles due to operating under idle conditions for an extended period of time in congested traffic, long drive thru lines, traffic lights and so on. This study aimed to increase the exhaust temperature of a fully warmed-up idling light-duty
Diesel engine by utilizing two methods: intake throttling and post-injection. Also, effects of these two techniques on HC and NOx emissions as well as IMEP and COV of IMEP were investigated. With start of injection (SOI) of post-injection being the primary variable, engine operating parameters were idle speed of 850, 1100 and 1200 rpm as well as injection pressure of 500 and 800 bar. The exhaust temperature was measured to be 105° C for an idle speed of 850 rpm and WOT with no post injection. I was able to increase the exhaust temperature by nearly 65° C with the first method. A further increase by 25° C vi with combined use of the two methods was possible and that yielded exhaust temperatures of around 200° C while HC and NO[subscript emissions roughly doubled. For higher engine speeds and for the heaviest throttling case exhaust temperature increased up to 240° C however, the engine-out HC emission penalty associated with this was nearly 300%. For all degrees of intake throttling, maximum exhaust temperature and minimum NO[subscript x]emissions were achieved for a SOI of post-injection at 25-30° CA aTDC and beyond this range the temperature showed a downward trend while HC emissions increased significantly.

▼ Low temperature combustion (LTC) is an appealing new method of combustion that promises low nitric oxides and soot emissions while maintaining or improving on engine performance. The three main points of this study were to develop and validate an engine model in GT-Power capable of implementing LTC, to study parametrically exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and injection timing effects on performance and emissions, and to investigate methods to decrease pressure rise rates during LTC operation. The model was validated at nine different operating points, 3 speeds and 3 loads, while the parametric studies were conducted on 6 of the 9 operating points, 3 speeds and 2 loads. The model consists of sections that include: cylinders, ports, intake and exhaust manifolds, EGR system, and turbocharger. For this model, GT-Power calculates the combustion using a multi-zone, quasi-dimensional model and a knock-induced combustion model. The main difference between them is that the multi-zone model is directly injected while the knock model is port injected. A variety of sub models calculate the fluid flow and heat transfer.
A parametric study varying the EGR and the injection timing to determine the optimal combination was conducted using the multi-zone model while a parametric study that just varies EGR is carried out using the knock model. The first parametric study showed that the optimal EGR and injection timing combination for the low loads occurred at high levels of EGR (60 percent) and advanced injection timings (30 to 40 crank angle degrees before top dead center). The optimal EGR and injection timing combination for the high loads occurred at low levels of EGR (30 percent to 40 percent) and retarded injection timings (7.5 to 5 crank angle degrees before top dead center). The knock model determined that the ideal EGR ratio for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operation varied from 30 percent to 45 percent, depending on the operating condition. Three methods were investigated as possible ways to reduce pressure rise rates during LTC operation. The only feasible method was the multiple injection strategy which provided dramatically reduced pressure rise rates across all EGR levels and injection timings.

▼ An alarming number of compression ignition (CI)
engines in the transport, mining and heavy engineering environments
have been failing due to combustion irregularities within their
combustion chambers. It has been found that
diesel fuels containing
contaminants or
diesel fuels with poor lubricity characteristics
lead to stickiness of
diesel injector needles, which badly affects
injector spray patterns resulting in the phenomenon of “cold
combustion”. This study has been undertaken to develop a technique
for detecting and preventing the damage resulting from this
deviation in the combustion of a
diesel engine. The technique has
been formulated with a view to being as non intrusive as possible,
so as not to require major modification of an existing test engine
to accommodate the technique. The practice of monitoring individual
cylinder exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) proved to be an effective
way of determining whether potentially destructive combustion
abnormalities were taking place within the
diesel engine. By
recording these temperatures at certain stages during the engine’s
operation, taking their average, and comparing each one to this
average it is also possible to isolate the location of the
combustion abnormality. This method proved to be most effective at
full loads and maximum fuel delivery where combustion temperatures
are highest and the effects of poor combustion are most noticeable
and potentially damaging. The second goal was to develop a small,
portable electronic device that makes use of the monitoring
technique developed and provides a visual and audible alarm to
notify a vehicle operator or technician of a combustion fault
within a
diesel engine. A Combustion Monitoring System (CMS)
prototype was developed and tested on a small naturally aspirated
engine at the University of Pretoria’s engine testing facilities.
The prototype met its primary goal of detecting simulated
combustion abnormalities under a variety of test conditions. It is
envisaged that the monitoring techniques applied in developing the
CMS unit may eventually be incorporated into the powerful
processing abilities of the modern
diesel Engine Control Unit
(ECU). In its current form the CMS prototype is a useful tool in
sensing combustion related malfunctions within a
diesel engine and
preventing damage from occurring.

▼ A metodologia Transesterification Double Step Process (TDSP) permitiu a produção de diferentes variedades de biodiesel. Estes produtos foram feitos a partir de óleo de soja, óleo residual de fritura e gordura vegetal hidrogenada por duas rotas alcoólicas: a metílica e a etílica. Os produtos foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de Hidrogênio (1H RMN) permitindo o cálculo da conversão dos materiais de partida em biodiesel. Em seguida, foram formadas as blendas a partir de óleo diesel S500 e de cada tipo de biodiesel, em diversas proporções. As blendas foram caracterizadas através de espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e estudadas através da técnica do teste de qualidade de ignição ou Ignition Quality Tester (IQT), objetivo principal deste trabalho, a qual permite obter o número de cetano derivado dessas misturas combustíveis. Além disso, também foram estudadas outras cinco propriedades relacionadas a essas blendas, a saber: ponto de fulgor, teor de enxofre, massa especifica, curva de destilação e índice de iodo. Por fim, foi realizada uma abordagem do ponto de vista quimiométrico, que auxiliou na interpretação dos resultados do grande conjunto de dados resultantes desse estudo.
The transesterification Double Step Process (TDSP) methodology allowed the production of different varieties of biodiesel. The different kinds of biodiesel were produced from soybean, waste cooking and hydrogenated vegetable oils by two alcoholic routes: methylic and ethylic. These products were characterized by Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) allowing the calculation of the conversion of starting materials into biodiesel. Then, the blends were formed from diesel S500 and each type of biodiesel, in various proportions. The blends were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and studied using the technique Ignition Quality Tester (IQT), the main objective of this work, which gives the derived cetane number of such mixtures fuels. In addition, we studied five other properties related to the blends, namely: flash point, sulfur content, specific gravity, distillation curves and iodine number. Finally, there was an approach from the viewpoint chemometric, who assisted the results interpretation of the large data set resultant from this study.

▼ A taxonomia clássica de fungos filamentos é baseada em observações de características
fenotípicas, além de incorporar as aplicações biotecnológicas das substâncias
produzidas à otimização de processos. Os fungos por participarem da ciclagem de
material orgânico são hábeis em descontaminar ambientes. Este trabalho teve por
objetivo a identificação de 23 espécies de Aspergillus isolados de água do mar e estuário
com a capacidade de utilizar óleo
diesel como fonte de carbono. Para taxonomia
clássica foram utilizados meios diferenciais. Após a identificação foi realizado o teste
com o indicador 2,6 diclofenolindolfenol, e foram selecionados os que apresentaram
mudança da coloração do indicador com 24horas após inicio do ensaio. As linhagens
selecionadas foram submetidas aos ensaios de aclimatação, otimização das condições
nutricionais do meio de cultivo e toxicidade dos subprodutos provenientes do
biotratamento utilizando o índice de germinação o qual analisa a geminação e
crescimento médio de sementes vegetais. Para otimização de ensaio de degradação foi
utilizado o planejamento experimental Delineamento Composto Central com três
variáveis independentes: nitrogênio, fósforo e magnésio. Foram identificadas as
espécies Aspergillus flavus(06), Aspergillus aculeatus(08), Aspergillus terreus(01),
Aspergillus awamori(02), Aspergillus tamarii(01), Aspergillus japonicus(03),
Aspergillus niger(02). Oito linhagens apresentaram viragem da coloração azul para
incolor em 24 horas, mas o Aspergillus flavus (AFL59) foi selecionado para todos os
testes por apresentar 80% de degradação. A linhagem submetida ao ensaio de
otimização apresentou o Índice de Germinação com valores próximos a 100%
crescimento da raiz e eficiência de degradação (E.D%) do óleo
diesel próximo a 100%
para o hidrocarboneto nonano, ausência de picos entre decano e hexadecano, e a partir
de heptadecano até heneicosano as porcentagens variaram entre 20,85% e 37,11%.
Concluímos que o tratamento de óleo
diesel utilizando as linhagens de Aspergillus
mostrou-se eficiente para degradação de cadeias de hidrocarbonetos maiores
apresentando baixa toxicidade para o nível trófico utilizado para o ensaio.

▼ Acidentes com derrames de petróleo ou seus derivados em ambientes sensíveis, como os
estuários, provocam um grande impacto ambiental. A limpeza dessas áreas contaminadas
necessita de cuidados e de tecnologias que reduzam os efeitos do contaminante no meio
ambiente. Nesse sentido, tecnologias biológicas de degradação dos hidrocarbonetos, em
processos chamados de biorremediação, são apontadas como eficazes no tratamento de
áreas degradadas. Muitos trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos no intuito de elucidar os
processos degradativos dos hidrocarbonetos, aeróbios e anaeróbios, e as tecnologias de
biorremediação. O presente trabalho avaliou dois tratamentos de biorremediação, atenuação
natural e atenuação natural incentivada, em condições laboratoriais, de um sedimento
estuarino contaminado com óleo
diesel. Como forma de incentivo buscou-se uma maior
biodisponibilidade do contaminante, com o uso de um biossurfatante. Foram monitorados
parâmetros físico-químicos e biológicos durante 111 dias de tratamento. A avaliação da
degradação foi realizada através do acompanhamento dos 16 hidrocarbonetos
poliaromáticos (HPAs) considerados prioritário pela U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S.EPA, 2009). A quantificação das bactérias heterotróficas totais indicou um possível
período de adaptação da microbiota à contaminação. Dentre os 16 HPAs quantificados, o
naftaleno apresentou uma maior percolação na coluna, uma vez que a contaminação foi
realizada no topo da mesma. Isso pode ser atribuído a sua maior solubilidade em água, 31
mg/L. Os HPAs de menor peso molecular apresentaram uma maior oscilação de
concentração nos primeiros 45 dias de tratamento, enquanto que os de maior peso molecular
apresentaram comportamentos semelhantes, com processos de disponibilização mais tardia
e significativas reduções do T62 para o T111. Foi possível observar indícios de remoção de
82% do composto pireno no tratamento de atenuação natural nos 111 dias estudados. No
tratamento de atenuação natural incentivada observou-se uma redução gradual até o T62,
porém no T111 ocorre uma nova disponibilização do contaminante, no entanto do T0 até o
T111 ocorre uma remoção de 36% do pireno. De uma maneira geral, o somatório dos 16
HPAs, para ambos os tratamentos nas amostras de superfície, teve redução em sua
concentração após o T62, período esse com um significativo crescimento no número de
bactérias heterotróficas. Bons indícios de degradação anaeróbia foram observados nos
tratamentos adotados, porém não foram verificadas diferenças entre os tratamentos, ou seja,
o biossurfatante não solubilizou os HPAs a níveis significativos à biodegradação, como o
esperado

▼ The present manuscript discusses the use of two
diesel injections in
diesel-ignited propane dual fuel Low Temperature Combustion (LTC). Using propane fumigation into the intake runners of a single cylinder research engine, the maximum and minimum percent energy substitution (PES) values were obtained to be 90% and 53%, respectively at 3.3 bar BMEP. An optimal PES value of 80% was used to explore the effects of a secondary injection on the engine-out emissions. The secondary injection proved to have a strong influence on combustion phasing (CA50). As combustion is phased closer to TDC the IFCE shows and increase of 4% at 5 bar BMEP and 6% at 3.3 bar BMEP. Finally, a relationship between the IFCE and the CO to CO
2 conversion was developed. An increase in the carbon to hydrogen ratio of the fuel shows a reduction of the CO output of the engine while the CO
2 concentration increases. More importantly however, the CO to CO
2 conversion shows a direct effect on the IFCE. It is shown that a decrease in CO emissions found in the engine-out emissions will correlate directly with an increase in the IFCE.

▼ Visando a redução de poluentes emitidos pelos motores de combustão interna com ignição por compressão, que operam conforme o ciclo diesel, foram desenvolvidos nos últimos anos dispositivos para a operação destes motores com novos combustíveis, que além da redução de poluentes barateariam o custo de operação, devido à oportunidade de utilização de alguns combustíveis com boa disponibilidade. No presente estudo analisa-se a operação do motor diesel utilizando gás natural como combustível. Neste caso utiliza-se o óleo diesel apenas como combustível piloto, que será responsável pela ignição do segundo combustível, o gás natural. Em diversas publicações constata-se o ganho ambiental e econômico desta aplicação, porém nada é comentado em relação à alteração de índices de confiabilidade e surgimento de novos modos de falha. Neste trabalho verifica-se através de ferramentas de análise de confiabilidade, tais como a análise do tipo FMEA e Árvore de falhas, quais os principais modos de falha que serão inseridos no motor de combustão interna do tipo diesel quando este passa a operar como bi-combustível, com gás natural. Para tanto, necessita-se subdividir o motor diesel em subsistemas mostrando sua estruturação em árvores funcionais e integrando o kit diesel gás neste sistema. A partir da análise de confiabilidade verifica-se a probabilidade de ocorrência de novos modos de falha, que necessitarão da elaboração de novos planos de manutenção ou mesmo alterações no projeto do subsistema de injeção de gás natural.
In order to reduce pollutants emissions from internal combustion engines with compression bend ignition, designed to operate as the Diesel cycle, it has been developed in recent years devices for the addition of new fuels, which in addition to reducing pollutants could lower the cost of operation, due to the possibility of use of some fuels with good availability. In this case it is used only the diesel oil as the pilot flame, which is responsible for the ignition of the second fuel, the natural gas. Many publications discuss the environmental and the economic gain with the use of natural gas as fuel application, however nothing is said about the change of reliability indexes and the appearance of new failure modes in the engine. In this study through system reliability analysis tools such as Faillure Mode Effects and Analisys and Fault tree analysis it is analysed, which are the main failure modes that are inserted into the internal combustion engine when it comes to operate as dual fuel. For that analyses it is necessary to split the engine into subsystems showing its functional trees and integrating diesel gas kit in this system. New failure modes appear with greater severity than the existing in the traditional diesel engine system, leading to new design and maintenance practices. The end user, according to his need, will have one more parameter to choose whether to adopt a Diesel Gas system.

▼ Using data from artificial gas mixtures, global
kinetic models for a platinum diesel oxidation catalyst are
developed. The modelling of CO and C3H6 was inspired by the
classical work of Voltz et al.[1], while the modelling of NO and
C3H6 was based on the earlier work of Pandya[2], Mulla et al.[3],
Bhatia et al.[4] and Hauff et al.[5]. The creation of the model was
performed piecewise, starting from experiments on single reactants.
A new model is proposed to account for the formation of N2O. A
global model is developed that is able to correlate with reasonable
accuracy the results from the complete gas mixture. The model is
not, however, able to correlate all of the data from feeds
containing the complete set of reactants and those with single or
dual reactants present.

▼ Este trabalho tem como objetivo a avaliação do desempenho de combustíveis para motores ciclo Diesel, emissões de contaminantes e tratamento catalítico pós-combustão, em condições reais de operação. Para obtenção de resultados relativos ao consumo específico de combustível e geração de contaminantes atmosféricos, utilizaram-se motores Diesel, monocilindro, de pequeno porte, acoplados a geradores elétricos. A partir dos resultados obtidos neste trabalho, constatou-se que é possível a obtenção de parâmetros relativos ao desempenho, emissões de contaminantes e tratamento catalítico pós-combustão utilizando motores/geradores e um procedimento específico de amostragem. Os resultados indicaram que o consumo específico do óleo diesel, biodiesel e formulações apresenta uma correlação direta com a entalpia de combustão. A quantificação dos contaminantes é altamente dependente do procedimento de amostragem utilizado, do tipo de motor e das condições de operação empregadas. A redução das emissões de material particulado (MP) com a utilização de biodiesel é controversa. Com motor de alta taxa de compresssão e maior pressão de injeção não se observa uma redução significativa nas emissões de MP, quando o motor é alimentado com biodiesel. A adição de biodiesel etílico de soja, em formulação com óleo diesel, aumenta a concentração de NO. Comparado com o óleo diesel, o biodiesel aumenta em 16% as emissões de NO. Este aumento não está associado às características de volatilidade e viscosidade do biodiesel, mas sim, à sua compressibilidade. A utilização de catalisador com platina possibilita a oxidação das frações voláteis e condensáveis da exaustão do motor. O catalisador de platina não apresenta atividade de oxidação da fração seca que compõe o MP. O NO2 é reduzido para NO através da oxidação dos hidrocarbonetos voláteis e condensáveis e não se observa redução dos NOx para N2.
An evaluation was made of the performance of fuels for Diesel cycle engines, their contaminant emissions and catalytic post-combustion treatment under real operating conditions. The findings concerning specific fuel consumption and production of air pollutants were obtained using small single cylinder Diesel engines coupled to electric generators. The results of this study indicated that it is possible to obtain parameters relating to performance, contaminant emissions and catalytic post-combustion treatment using engines and generators and a specific sampling procedure. The results also indicated that the specific consumption of diesel oil, biodiesel and formulations is directly correlated with the enthalpy of combustion. The quantification of the contaminants is highly dependent on the sampling procedure employed, on the type of engine and on the operating conditions employed. The reduction of particulate matter (PM) emissions with the use of biodiesel is a controversial point. With a high compression engine and greater injection pressure, no significant reduction in the emission of PM has been observed using biodiesel. The addition of soy biodiesel in…

▼ Now a days for any country energy resourses in
particular petroleum products have become important for its
development. The products derived from crude oil continued to be
the major and critical source of energy for transportation sector
all over the world. For economic development of any country both
industries and transportation sectors are very important for a
growth of country like India. It is strongly depends on
transportation and power generation. It is learnt that the fossil
fuel are depleting at faster rate than expected. Hence the
increasing demand of fossil fuel leads to exhaust of petroleum
products in near future. In this connection the rising price of
petroleum products and environmental concern lead to intensive
studies on the use of alternative fuels.

▼ At present diesel engines are performing well and
meeting existing emission norms. But to meet future emission norms
alternative combustion concept may be useful. Homogeneous Charge
Compression Ignition (HCCI) has proven to be capable of reducing
both Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Smoke emissions significantly. In
HCCI engine, a homogeneous air fuel mixture is formed in the
combustion chamber and the mixture is compression ignited. Due to
the fact that the mixture is homogeneous, there is no smoke
producing fuel-rich regions. The NOx emissions are also low because
HCCI engine runs with lean homogeneous mixture and at low
in-cylinder temperature. The objective of present work is for
adopting HCCI combustion in a diesel engine by addressing the
problems associated with HCCI engine like (i) rapid pressure rise
due to instantaneous combustion (ii) difficulty to operate at
higher loads due to knocking (iii) increase of HC and CO emissions
(iv) decrease in brake thermal efficiency. At high loads, rate of
pressure rise is rapid in the combustion chamber. Because of this,
it is inevitable to sacrifice to run the engine at high loads with
HCCI concept. Also CO and HC emissions for HCCI engine were
reported to be increased, which requires a remedy. The another
important problem is loss in brake thermal efficiency with HCCI
combustion. Hence, there is a need to focus attention to overcome
these problems in order to make HCCI engine practicable. Keeping
these things in mind, experimental investigation is planned in the
present research work to find remedies to the above problems. For
this purpose, a computerized single cylinder, four stroke, water
cooled, variable compression ratio, diesel engine is selected with
specifications shown in Appendix-I. The performance, emission and
combustion parameters of base engine diesel are recorded at
standard operating conditions such as compression ratio 16.5,
injection timing 230 bTDC and injection pressure 200 bar and these
readings are taken as base data.

▼ Gasoline or
diesel fuel sourced from crude oil source is a complex mixture of hundreds of hydrocarbons. It is extremely difficult to simulate for better understanding of the fuel flow and combustion behaviors which are essential to enhance fuel quality and to improve engine performance. To overcome this difficulty, a surrogate fuel, that has fewer compounds and that emulates certain important physical properties of a target fuel, can be utilized.
The surrogate mixtures for both gasoline and
diesel are designed through a computer aided model based technique by our collaborator at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and their relevant target properties are predicted. Following the preparation of surrogate blends, target physical properties of both fuel surrogates are measured according to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods using advanced analytical equipment in the Fuel Characterization Laboratory.
For both gasoline and
diesel surrogates, the model predictions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results except for a few reported cases such as the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) of gasoline. For such cases, modifications are made to the model in order to improve the predicted results. Therefore, the experimental investigations are found to be extremely essential for improving the assumptions used to define interactions of the hydrocarbons in the mixtures, which in turn enables enhanced predictability of the model.
The developed model, which leads to a property driven product, can be further investigated to prepare new fuel blends and identify suitable renewable additives in a known amount that can aid in designing of future generation of fuels obtained from either conventional crude oil sources or non-conventional sources. Even though this model provides an excellent, fast and reliable opportunity for screening large number of fuel surrogates and optimization of the same, it is extremely important to experimentally verify the final blends and fine-tune them if necessary before their utilization in engine. Also, the measured property values help to improve the accuracy of the property models as well as the assumptions used to develop them.

▼ Gas-To-Liquid (GTL)
Diesel fuel produced from synthetic crudes obtained from natural gas that is converted by the Fisher Tropsch (FT) technology is a promising key player for the mobility industry future along with conventional
diesel fuels. The main distinctive properties that distinguish between GTL
Diesel and conventional
Diesel fuels include density, viscosity, lubricity and Cetane Index. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of the change in GTL Diesel’s composition and boiling range on its market specifications, then to develop predictive models for the GTL
Diesel properties based on the fuel’s composition. The study recommends how the industry can use these data for upgrading the fuel quality based on distribution market demand. Intensive testing to analyze many characteristics for GTL
Diesel was done at Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ), and ORYX GTL Company provided the GTL
Diesel samples. The study was divided into two sections; the first section consisted of the experimental and modeling work where multiple GTL
Diesel cuts were initially prepared. The properties of the prepared cuts were analyzed for five critical GTL
Diesel fuel market specifications: Density, Viscosity (kinematic and dynamic), Flash point, Cetane index and Cold properties (Pour and Cloud points). In the second section, these properties were compared with the original market specifications in order to identify whether an improvement in fuel characteristics is obtained. In the third section, the properties of these fuel cuts are used to generate mathematical models for properties-compositions relationships. Finally, we proposed certain modifications to the existing GTL Plants that will improve the separation of specific quality of fuels and value-added chemicals cut. This study also identified the potentials for the light cuts obtained from GTL
Diesel fuel to be used for the production of Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB), which is considered as an expensive value-chemical and a feedstock to detergents manufacturing plants.
