One of the various efforts to reduce PM and NO emissions from modern diesel engines is the use of light fuels fumigation as supplement to pilot injected diesel fuel. Present work aims at developing a fumigation system for introduction of gasoline in a diesel engine with mechanically‐controlled fuel injection pump and to determine its effects on emission. Experiments were performed on a 4‐cylinder direct‐injection diesel engine operating at two constant engine speeds for different engine loads. Diesel fuel was considered as baseline fuel and gasoline was inducted as fumigation in intake manifold at two different ratio on every operation modes. The experimental results show that with gasoline fumigation, the specific NOx and CO2 emission decreased to about 28, and 7% (averaged on all engine loads), respectively in comparison with baseline diesel case. While smoke opacity decreases at high loads up to 50%. However, increase in the specific CO and HC emission have been found after use of premixed gasoline at all loading conditions. Moreover, gasoline fumigation can improve brake thermal efficiency slightly at intermediate and high loads. Thus, gasoline fuel as premixed fuel with fumigation method showed a favorable potential in terms of reduction of main emissions and improvement performance in diesel engines with mechanically‐controlled fuel injection pump. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1845–1852, 2018

Exergy analysis is achieved by assessing exergies related to the inlet fuel and air, output power, heat loss, gas exhaust loss and destruction or system irreversibility. The exergy fraction of each component is considered for all mixtures by dividing the individual exergy quantity into the exergy of the fuel. In the present investigation, the combustion process has been simulated in a DI diesel engine (OM314) with biodiesel fuel different Blends (B20, B40, B100) of soybean at full load and 1200 rpm by a thermodynamic model using both thermodynamics fi rst and second laws of thermodynamics. The results showed good agreement with the experimental pressure. The results of the analysis of energy and availability balance show that the fi rst and second laws effi ciency for pure biodiesel fuel is more than the other two fuel and total availability. indicated work availability, the heat loss availability, burned fuel availability and irreversibility for 20% biodiesel fuel are more than two other fuels.
