Effect on performance and emissions of a dual fuel diesel engine using hydrogen and producer gas as secondary fuels

Investigations on the combustion duration and ignition delay period of a dual fuel diesel engine with hydrogen and producer gas as secondary fuels

“…The experimental setup used in the present paper is same as in reference [1] and has been illustrated here in brief for the sake of clarity. A diesel engine test setup, model Ashok Leyland ALUWO4CT, turbocharged with inter-cooler and gen-set was developed to carry experimental investigation.…”

“…A schematic layout of the diesel engine test setup used during the experiments is shown in Fig. 2 [1]. The methodology of producer gas gasification used during the experimentation was same as referred in reference [1].…”

“…2 [1]. The methodology of producer gas gasification used during the experimentation was same as referred in reference [1]. The measured specifications of producer gas gasifier and its compositions are shown in Table 3.…”

“…After 15 minutes of engine operation on stabilized conditions, the pressure data were obtained for an average of 100 cycles. The experiments were conducted for five times to ensure repeatability [1].…”

“…Experimental investigations on performance and emissions of a dual fuel diesel engine using hydrogen and producer gas (produced from rice husk) as secondary fuels [1] and mathematical modeling on performance and emissions of a dual fuel diesel engine using hydrogen [2] and producer gas [3] as secondary fuel have been reported by the authors. The developed models have been used to predict the performance and emission parameters of diesel-hydrogen dual fuel operation in various combinations at different loads.…”
