Wear in High Speed Diesel Engines Operating on Power Alcohol As Principal Fuel

WEAR IN HIGH SPEED DIESEL ENGINES OPERATING ON POWER ALCOHOL AS PRINCIPAL FUEL BY M. R. K. RAO AND Y. M. BALAKR1SHNA (Department of Internal Combustion Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 3) Received October 16, 1956 SUMMARY Wear tests were conducted with a single cylinder, direct injection, 5 I-I.P.-1,500 r.p.m. diesel engine for a period of 1,000 hours using power alcohol as principal fuel. During the first 500 hours of the test, an alcohol-water blend (85-15 by vol.) was inducted with the inlet air and neat alcohol was inducted during the remaining period. Throughout the test H.S.D. oil was injected in the normal way to initiate combustion. It is concluded from these tests that prolonged operation of a diesel engine with neat alcohol as the principal fuel does not lead to any adverse effect on the rate of wear. Besides, there is a noticeable reduction of engine deposits. While the presence of water is conducive to engine cleanliness it is advisable to restrict its content in the blend on account of its adverse effect on wear. I. INTRODUCTION Investigations on the use of power alcohol as fuel for high speed diesel engines have, in the past, been directed towards the combustion process and the general performance of the engine.* The present report relates to an investigation aimed at assessing the effects of prolonged operation with alcohol on engine wear. Tests were conducted for this purpose with a high speed diesel engine for a period of 1,000 hours.

Diesel Fuel the Service Technician’S Guide to Compression Ignition Fuel Quality

SAVE ! Important Changes in Reference Material DIESEL FUEL The Service Technician’s Guide to Compression Ignition Fuel Quality Fuel Specifications and Their Relation to Engine Performance Changes in Diesel Due to Government Regulations The Latest Information on Biodiesel Changes In Diesel Fuel From the Authors of Changes in Gasoline The Changes in Gasoline manual series was first introduced in July 1987. Due to continuing changes in gasoline, driven in large part by environmental requirements, the manual has been revised and updated three times over the past twenty years. The focus of the manual series has been to present information about gasoline quality as it relates to vehicle performance and driveability. The manual series is targeted specifically to the service and repair professional who needs a condensed, concise, fuel quality information resource that covers their specific areas of interest. The Changes in Gasoline manual series boasts a circulation exceeding 500,000 copies, with a new edition to be released soon. Over the years we have received numerous requests for a companion manual on diesel fuel quality. In recent years there has been an increasing amount of environmental regulations that impact both the diesel engine and the fuels that power them. These changes have led to our decision to finally write and release Changes in Diesel Fuel - The Service Technician’s Guide to Compression Ignition Fuel Quality. We encourage you to read on and see why we believe that, similar to Changes in Gasoline, this manual will become the service and repair industry’s definitive guide to diesel fuel quality. Engine and vehicle manufacturers’ positions and recommendations can change.

INTRODUCTION suspended in base fluid to enhance The diesel engine is one of the preferred prime thermophysical properties of diesel. They are movers in all the application which are designed used in number of commercial applications to run with diesel fuel. Combustion of diesel fuel like engineering, medical sciences, is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas biotechnology, agriculture, transportation emission to the atmosphere resulting in severe etc. Recently few experimental works using environmental problems like global warming nanosized metallic, non-metallic, organic and and unnatural climate change. Biodiesel has mixed particles in base liquid fuel for diesel gained popularity as replacement for diesel fuel engine have been widely used. The results are due to their advantageous properties i.e. effective due to enhancement in thermo biodegradable, non-toxic, eco-friendly, sulphur physical and chemical properties of modified free, higher oxygen content, etc. and these fuels fuel. Despite having all superiorities, can be used in the same diesel engine with little somewhat unclear and contradictory results or no engine modification [1-2].
Motor Gasoline

FLH:DS U. S, DEPARTIffiNT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS VJashington 25, D, C, June 21, 1955 Letter Circular LC-1020 Supersedes LC-991, LC-551 , and LC-281 MOTOR GASOLINE This letter circular has been prepared to facilitate the handling of inquiries to the National Bureau of Standards about motor gasoline* It is based on the experience gained in the development of standard testing tech- niques for gasoline and summarizes information not generally available in a single source. Gasoline is composed essentially of a class of compoimds known as hydro- carbons, These compounds differ not only in volatility, or the ease of evapo- ration, but also in other properties, notably in their tendency to cause combustion knock. The properties of the gasoline are therefore dependent on •which of the various hydrocarbons are present, and in what proportions. Because crude petroleums vary considerably in composition, it may be seen that gaso- lines derived from these crudes may also be quite different. In addition, modem refining processes change the structures of some of the hydrocarbons to more desirable types, so that the final products are still more complex. Many properties of gasoline are subject to some degree of refinery control. The more important of these are discussed in the following paragraphs, 1, Antiknock Quality of Gasoline The resistance of a gasoline to combustion knock is usually expressed as an octane niomber, a high octane number indicating a good resistance to combus- tion knock and vice versa. Octane numbers are determined on special test engines where the speed, operating temperatures, and other important factors can be precisely controlled.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering 2007 (ICME2007) 29- 31 December 2007, Dhaka, Bangladesh ICME07-TH-18 AN INVESTIGATION ON INCREASE OF VOLUME OF LUBRICATING OIL USED IN VEHICLES AROUND DHAKA CITY Md. Ehsan1, Md. Mahmudur Rahman2, Md. Hassan Saadi2 1Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, BUET. 2Graduates, Department of Mechanical Engineering, BUET. ABSTRACT A field survey supported the claim of excessive crankcase dilution causing increase in volume of lubricating oil in the petrol driven vehicles across Dhaka city. The problem was experienced irrespective of vehicle make, model or age and brand of lubricating oil used. A study was carried out in order to identify the source of the problem. Fuel samples collected from Dhaka were tested against base fuels collected from Eastern Refinery, Chittagong, regarding a number of physical properties. The source of the problem lies in adulteration of fuel used, probably associated with undue benefits related to the high fuel price. Among the possible liquids mixed with petrol, condensates collected from natural gas-fields and transmission lines is the most likely candidate. Condensates around 15% by volume probably are being mixed with petrol, which is causing high rate of crankcase dilution of the lubricating oil used in engines run on petrol. Keywords: Lubricating oil, Crankcase Dilution, Fuel Adulteration, Condensate, Automotive engines. 1. INTRODUCTION driven vehicles only and rarely noticed by drivers In the recent years an unusual phenomenon have been using diesel fuel and CNG alone. widely experienced regarding the use of lubricating oil in • The problem was present across a range of engine automotive SI engines in vehicles used around Dhaka models of a number of manufacturers.
