Investigation on the Use of Solid Fuels for Diesel Engine

Combustion characteristics of a charcoal slurry in a direct injection diesel engine and the impact on the injection system performance

“…Khandare [18] fueled a small diesel engine in the intake manifold with 75 mm coal dust particles, and reported engine operation failure due to dust accumulation in the cylinder. The engine operation with 40 mm particle size was possible but late combustion was observed with increased heat rejection in the exhaust gases and also in water cooling from increased heat radiation from soot particles to the cylinder walls.…”

A dual-fuel compression ignition engine – distinctive features

“…Tłokowy silnik spalinowy o zapłonie samoczynnym ze względu na dużą wartość sprawności ogólnej oraz korzystny skład spalin jest obecnie najbardziej rozpowszechnionym źródłem napędu pojazdów samochodowych a także różnego rodzaju agregatów stacjonarnych. Pojawiające się przewidywania mówiące o zmniejszeniu zasobów ropy naftowej [1] powodują, że coraz częściej prowadzone są badania i próby zastosowania innych, nietypowych dla tego silnika paliw z wykorzystaniem dwupaliwowego systemu zasilania [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][11][12][13]. W Zakładzie Pojazdów i Silników Spalinowych od szeregu lat prowadzone są badania dwupaliwowego silnika o zapłonie samoczynnym, w którym jako paliwo główne stosowane były: alkohol etylowy, mieszanina propan-butan, gaz ziemny.…”

“…Nowadays, compression ignition engine is the most widespread source of drive in automotive vehicles and engine generators due to its high overall efficiency and favourable exhaust emission. Emerging reports on crude oil depletion [1] result in increased interest in investigation on other non-standard fuels for this type of engine and the system of dual-fuelling [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][11][12][13]. For many years in the Department of Automobiles and Internal Combustion Engines in Technical University of Radom there are carried out investigations on dual-fuel compression ignition engine in which the main fuel were: methanol, ethanol, LPG and natural gas.…”

Experimental study on velocity characteristic of engine fueled with petroleum coke slurry

“…Alternative fuels for internal combustion engine have been explored continuously. In the 1970's and 1980's, during the oil crisis period, coal was made into coal oil slurry or coal water slurry which substituted oil fuel as alternative fuel for internal combustion engine [1][2][3]. Due to coal slurry being solid liquid mixtures, the conventional fuel supply system was easily clogged.…”
