▼ Resumo: A questão da partida a frio de motores movidos a Diesel ainda é um problema que não foi apropriadamente resolvido e se torna particularmente crítico em face da tendência de redução de níveis de emissões de poluentes a baixas temperaturas e da taxa de compressão do motor visando redução do consumo de combustível. Embora esteja claro que existem alguns fatores-chave que levam a um apropriado processo de partida a frio, sua relevância e relações não são claramente compreendidas. Assim, os esforços para a otimização do processo de partida a frio são principalmente baseados em procedimentos de tentativa e erro em câmaras climáticas a baixas temperaturas, com sérias limitações em termos de confiabilidade da medição em algumas condições, baixa repetibilidade e altos custos com experimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar os componentes auxiliares de partida a frio dos motores a Diesel com o intuito de adquirir conhecimento sobre este tema para aplicação em propulsores, de maneira que estes possam ser utilizados em regiões com temperaturas negativas com desempenho confiável. Os componentes estudados serão apresentados, bem como sua aplicação e importância na tarefa de proporcionar as condições adequadas à partida a frio do motor. Além disso, uma visão geral será dada em relação à contribuição que estes componentes trazem na redução de emissões de poluentes e consumo de combustível; 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 Advisors/Committee Members: Muhlen, Sérgio Santos, 1956- (advisor), Gallo, Waldyr Luiz Ribeiro (committee member), Filho, Carlos Alberto dos Reis (committee member).

▼ 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 Advisors/Committee Members: López Sánchez, José Javier (advisor), Cavitación (advisor), Velocidad efectiva de inyección (advisor), Proceso de mezcla (advisor), Formación de hollín (advisor).

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

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Garcia, Philip (advisor).

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Siciliano, Steven Douglas, Smolders, Erik, Wickstrom, Mark, Pomeroy, John, Si, Bing, Blakley, Barry.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ Resumo: Veículos automotores são responsáveis pela maior parte da locomoção no mundo moderno. A principal forma de energia propulsora utilizada baseia-se na queima de combustíveis fósseis. Em sistemas reais de combustão o processo químico envolvido apresenta alto grau de complexidade que se traduz, na emissão de cinco principais espécies de poluentes atmosféricos, a saber, monóxido de carbono, compostos orgânicos (hidrocarbonetos não queimados ou apenas parcialmente queimados), particulados, óxidos sulfurosos e óxidos nitrogenados. Graças a crescente e necessária preocupação ambiental as normas relativas a emissões têm sido periodicamente revistas, sendo uma das principais o Padrão Europeu definido como Euro que disciplina veículos que circulam na Europa e demais países que como o Brasil que a adotam como modelo. Motores a diesel têm como emissão crítica os óxidos nitrogenados, NOx (NO + NO2) e as emissões de material particulado. As diferentes técnicas utilizadas para reduzir a formação destes poluentes podem ser divididas entre aquelas aplicadas durante o processo de combustão e as outras aplicadas somente após a combustão, ou seja, nos gases de exaustão. O presente trabalho utilizou-se de uma técnica que atua no processo de combustão conhecida como EGR, Recirculação Parcial dos Gases de Exaustão. O objeto de estudo é um motor diesel de quatro cilindros em linha, equipado com EGR que atende a Euro III, com limite de NOx igual a 5,0 g/kWh. A premissa do trabalho é a avaliação do potencial deste motor em atingir os níveis de emissões da norma Euro VI, com limite de NOx igual a 0,4 g/kWh. Para tal, serão mantidas as configurações originais do motor, alterando-se somente os componentes que fazem parte do sistema de EGR. O estudo foi realizado em diferentes etapas, I, II e III, durante as quais foram identificados os componentes de EGR que mais influenciam para a redução do NOx. Os resultados obtidos são satisfatórios, alcançando valores próximos ao objetivo, mostrando desta forma que o estudo é de grande aplicabilidade para os motores atuais e futuros; Abstract: Automotive vehicles are responsible for the most of locomotion in the modern world. The mainly propulsive energy used is based on burning of fossil fuels. In real combustion systems the chemical process involved a high complexity which results mainly in five types of air pollutants, that are, carbon monoxide, organic compounds as hydrocarbons unburned or partially burned, ashes, oxides sulfur and nitrogen oxides. Due to growing of necessity to care the environment concern, emissions standards have been reviewed periodically and one of the main is European Standard defined as Euro that discipline European vehicles and other countries like Brazil that concern it as a model. The most critical diesel engine emission are nitrogen oxides, NOx (NO + NO2) and particulate matter. The different techniques used to reduce the formation of these pollutants can be divided into those applied during the combustion process and other applied only after combustion, in the exhaust… Advisors/Committee Members: Martins, Cristiane Aparecida (advisor), Lacava, Pedro Teixeira (advisor), Ganzarolli, Marcelo Moreira (committee member), Souza, Francisco José de (committee member).

▼ 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.

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.

▼ 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.

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…

▼ The overall objective of this thesis was to develop field deployable instrumentation for the selective, sensitive determination of additives in diesel fuels using flow injection with chemiluminescence detection. The target analytes were the detergent dodecylamine and the lubricity additive P655. Chapter One describes the types of additives that are used in fully formulated diesel fuels in order to improve performance and outlines the need for robust analytical methods to be able to detect their presence / absences in fuels at the point of distribution, i.e. at the petrol pump. Flow injection (FI), and chemiluminescence (CL) are described as suitable techniques for sample preparation and detection respectively. The application of FI-CL for the quantitative determination of various analytes is reviewed, with the focus on real sample matrices. Finally the technique of solid phase extraction is discussed as a means of selective analyte preconcentration / matrix removal prior to FI-CL detection Chapter Two describes the development and optimisation (both univariate and simplex) of an FI-CL method for the determination of dodecylamine in acetonitrile / water mixtures using the catalytic effect of amines on the peroxyoxalate / sulphorhodamine 101 CL reaction. The linear range for dodecylamine was 0 - 50 mg Lˉ¹ with a detection limit of 190 µg Lˉ¹ and RSDs typically < 4 %. The effect of indigenous diesel compounds on the CL response is also investigated. Chapter Three investigates the applicability of the method developed in Chapter Two to determine dodecylamine in diesel fuels. Solid phase extraction was needed prior to analysis by FI-CL. The development of a solid phase extraction that is compatible with the FI-CL system is detailed. GC-NPD and GC-MS analysis are used in order to validate the solid phase extraction procedure. A range of diesel fuels have been spiked with an additive package containing dodecylamine and have been analysed off-line using FI-CL. Recoveries for all diesel fuels analysed were < 72 % and all fuels could by identified from the corresponding base fuel. Chapter Four describes the design and construction of a fully automated on-line solid phase extraction flow injection chemiluminescence analyser for the determination of dodecylamine in diesel fuel. Details of the automation and programming using LabVIEW are described. Results obtained using the automated on-line system are compared with results obtained using off-line SPE with FI-CL detection from Chapter Three. Recoveries for all fuels except SNV were < 71 %, and all fuels except SNV could be positively identified from the corresponding base fuels. No significant differences were found between the on-line and off-line results (within 95 % confidence limits). Chapter Five investigates the feasibility of determining the lubricity additive P655 in diesel fuel using FI-CL. The optimisation and development of a method using the competing reactions of periodate with alcohols and periodate with the CL oxidation reaction with pyrogallol is discussed, and…

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.

▼ The diesel-degrading capabilities of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolates LT1, LT1A and V2 were established in previous studies. LT1 and LT1A were isolated from diesel-contaminated soil and V2 was from soil contaminated with used engine oil. Isolates were grown in Bushnell-Haas medium supplemented with 1% sterile diesel. Determination of diesel-degradation patterns by gravimetric analysis and harvesting of cells for RNA extraction were performed at regular time intervals over a 60 day period. The involvement of genes alkM, alkR, rubA, rubB, estB, lipA, lipB, and xcpR in hydrocarbon degradation has been reported in previous studies. LT1, LT1A, and V2 were compared in terms of gene expression levels by real-time quantitative PCR. Expression levels were assessed by relative quantification and normalized against the 16S rRNA reference gene using the Relative Expression Software Tool - XL (REST-XL). Amplification of all genes, except rubB, was achieved with a high degree of efficiency. The expression of rubA, alkM, alkR, xcpR, and lipB based on pair-wise randomization, was all down-regulated in LT1A in relation to LT1. Highest expression levels of the aforementioned genes were documented during the initial stages of incubation for LT1 while LT1A showed highest expression levels midway through the study period. LT1, LT1A, and V2 achieved 58.6%, 51.7%, and 48.3% diesel degradation after 5 days of incubation, respectively. The higher percentage of diesel degradation achieved by LT1 can be attributed to higher levels of overall gene expression in the initial stages of degradation. Amplification of alkane hydroxylase alkM of V2 revealed a possible second hydroxylase gene that was expressed after 20 days of incubation. Amplification of alkR and xcpR in V2 isolates also resulted in multiple product formation. Very low lipB and lipA expression was detected in LT1 and LT1A and the absence of lipA expression in V2 suggests that lipases were not involved in diesel degradation. In contrast, estB was predominantly expressed in V2, and suspected to be involved in the release of a bioemulsifier that was only observed in V2 samples. Although all three isolates were comparably efficient in degrading diesel, the results of this study suggest that different mechanisms may be employed in the degradation process.
