Background

A broad investigation on alternative source of energy has been going on to find a solution to multi-faceted fossil fuel concerns namely exhaustion of fuels, energy demand, harmful emissions and environmental impact. Biodiesel is an environment-friendly and renewable alternative for diesel. In the present work, Annona seed oil has been assessed as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production.

Methods

A100 was characterized by FTIR and GC-MS. Propyl Gallate (PG) was characterized by morphological study using FESEM. The elemental analysis of PG was measured using EDAX analysis. YPSZ coating was found suitable to make out the potential of A100 in diesel engine. PCCU was designed to reduce the emissions by the liquid reductant in the catalyst system. The process optimization was performed by RSM and factorial experimental design.

Findings

With the YPSZ coated engine, improved characteristics of combustion and performance were noticed with A100+PG. A significant diminution on CO, HC and smoke emissions were perceived with A100+PG+CE. In addition, the work was expanded with the application PCCU for the lessening of NOx. A gradual decrement in NOx was observed with A100+PG+CE. Subsequently, A100+PG+CE with PCCU was deliberated as more prominent than other fuel samples in view of its engine characteristics.

抗氧化剂和陶瓷涂层对以番荔枝油生物柴油为燃料的柴油机性能提升和减排的影响

背景

对替代能源的广泛调查一直在寻找解决多方面化石燃料问题的方法，即燃料枯竭、能源需求、有害排放和环境影响。生物柴油是一种环保且可再生的柴油替代品。在目前的工作中，番荔枝籽油已被评估为生物柴油生产的潜在原料。

方法

A100 通过 FTIR 和 GC-MS 进行表征。没食子酸丙酯 (PG) 通过使用 FESEM 的形态学研究进行表征。PG的元素分析使用EDAX分析来测量。发现YPSZ涂层适合发挥A100在柴油发动机中的潜力。PCCU 旨在减少催化剂系统中液态还原剂的排放。通过RSM和析因实验设计进行工艺优化。

发现

使用 YPSZ 涂层发动机，A100+PG 注意到燃烧特性和性能的改进。A100+PG+CE 显着减少了 CO、HC 和烟雾排放。此外，随着应用 PCCU 的应用扩展了减少 NOx 的工作。用 A100+PG+CE 观察到 NOx 逐渐减少。随后，考虑到其发动机特性，A100+PG+CE 与 PCCU 被认为比其他燃料样品更突出。
