Evaluating the hythane/water diesel emulsion dual fuel diesel engine characteristics at various pilot diesel injection timings

In this experimental study was mostly focused on the impact of pilot diesel fuel Injection Timing (IT) on a dual fuel engine. The diesel engine was renewed in to dual fuel mode by injecting the Hythane20 (20% hydrogen and 80Methane) from the inlet manifold and Water in Diesel Emulsion 10 (10% water...

Description
Summary:In this experimental study was mostly focused on the impact of pilot diesel fuel Injection Timing (IT) on a dual fuel engine. The diesel engine was renewed in to dual fuel mode by injecting the Hythane20 (20% hydrogen and 80Methane) from the inlet manifold and Water in Diesel Emulsion 10 (10% water and 90% diesel WiDE10) as a primary fuel. Initially, the engine was operated at a constant Compression Ratio CR (18.5) and standard IT of 23°bTDC. Further, carried out the experimentation with retarded IT of 20°bTDC and Advanced IT of 26°bTDC. From the obtained results observed the higher Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) for 26°bTDC than the other. It is around 3.1 % higher and 6.45% lower Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) than the diesel. It was also reported drastic reduction in smoke opacity 27.45% than the diesel fuel operation.
