Lubrication, emissions, and performance analyses of LPG and petrol in a motorbike engine: a comparative study

This paper presents the numerical results of the study of a turbulent flame of methane enriched with hydrogen/air generated by a cylindrical burner. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code “FLUENT” and “Gambit” were used to perform the numerical simulation of the networking process. The Navier-Stokes equations, which estimate flow using a limited size method, have been resolved. The modeling of the disturbance/chemistry interaction has been used to associate the LES/PDF models with the state of system transfer equations. The calculations were analyzed for axial velocity, temperature, and carbon monoxide emissions. The results of the numerical calculations have been compared and checked for accuracy by returning to experimental data. The combustion behavior of CH4, G222 and H2 was employed by using the aforementioned parameters. The G222 is a mixture consists of 77% of methane and 23% of hydrogen. The obtained results confirm the fact of considering hydrogen as a clean non-polluting fuel compared to methane since it has no carbon monoxide emissions in combustion products. In addition, the velocity of hydrogen gas in the flame was significantly higher than the methane gas velocity.

Computer simulation of CH4–G222–H2 behaviour in a non-premixed combustion chamber

The massive use of automotive has a terrible effect on the environment. The unsafe pollutants as HC, CO, NOx, and CO2 are emitted from the IC engines during incomplete combustion using fossil fuels and caused noxious impacts on the humanitarian as well as environment. Due to the developing significance of future emission restrictions, it is required to adopt the application of alternative fuels for IC engines to minimize the exhaust pollutants and advance the combustion performance. The purpose of this review is to reveal the use of alternative fuels for vehicular engine application for spark ignition and veil the exhaust emissions of SI engines fueled with alcohol (methanol and ethanol), hydrogen, CNG, and LPG. Better physiochemical properties of alternative fuels make it an attractive fuel to minimize exhaust pollutants and reform the performance of SI engines.
