The experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of using Cresson oil biodiesel on CI engine emissions and performance. This research aimed to examine how using innovative biodiesel blend formulations made from Cresson oil affected the performance and emissions of CI engines. The proportion of Cresson oil biodiesel added to conventional Iraqi diesel fuel into volume amounted to 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. The engine compression ratio was set to 18, and the fuel injection timing was set at 23º bTDC. The experiments show that this biodiesel reduces the thermal efficiency, heat release, delay time, and cylinder pressure of the engine while increasing the exhaust temperature (EGT) and brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC). There has been an increase in emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon dioxide (CO2), in addition to a reduction in emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), soot, and unburned hydrocarbons (HC).
Most countries in the world are facing two major challenges, one is the increase in the demand for energy consumption difficult to fulfill because of limited fossil fuel, and the second is the emission norms specified by many countries. Various methods are adopted to reduce emissions from engines but that leads to sacrificing the performance of CI engines. To eradicate this problem in the present study, the nanoparticles like (TiO2) are used with different particle sizes 1030 nm, 3050 nm and 5070 nm induced in B20 (20% biodiesel and 80% diesel) with the constant volume fraction of 100 ppm, and utilized in the diesel engine without any modifications. The results showed that the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles improves the combustion of hydrocarbons and reduces the emissions of CO, unburned hydrocarbon concentration, NOx and soot. Moreover, among three sizes of the nanoparticles, those with size 3050 nm showed interesting results with the reduction in brake-specific energy consumption, NOx, smoke and HC by 2.9%, 16.2%, 35% and 10%, respectively, compared to other blends used in the study, and hence the blend with the nanoparticle of size 3050 nm is expected to be a more promising fuel for commercial application in CI engines.
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve regulates the exhaust gas flow between the engine exhaust manifold and the inlet one. This allows the inlet air to warm up, improving fuel evaporation and reducing the combustion temperature of the charge. Such a valve reduces the number of harmful substances in the exhaust gases. The valve tends to stick when too much sediment builds on the walls of the exhaust system, especially during driving in urban conditions or when leaks in the vacuum or exhaust pipes occur. A faulty valve causes the engine to run unevenly at idle speed and under light loads. The defective EGR valve weakens the inlet manifold capacity, increases combustion, causes clogging of the particulate filter and damage to the lambda probe. Blocked EGR valve may lead to engine immobilization as a result of its computerized control system operations. A model of an EGR valve for a selected diesel engine was developed to determine velocity distribution of the load flowing in it for different values of the degree of valve opening and the volume of deposits on the valve walls. The volume of accumulated carbon deposits on the walls of the EGR valve was measured using a real engine. Based on the recorded mileage of the vehicle, the assumed average speed of the car and the driving style of the driver and the intensity of deposition of carbon particles on the walls was estimated.
Jatropha oil was blended with kerosene in ratios; JOK0, JOK20, JOK30, JOK40 and JOK50 and benchmarked against conventional diesel fuel. The blended fuel samples was test-run on a TD110-TD115 TQ small CI engine test rig, and emission levels for the fuel samples were examined using an SQV automobile exhaust gas analyser. The JOK20 fuel sample offered a better performance in terms of higher BP, BTE, and EGT followed by; JOK30, JOK40 and JOK50 blends; and also exhibited lower SFC, BSEC and AFR, hence less fuel consuming than diesel fuel. A reduction in CO emission was recorded for JOK20, and a significant cut was also observed for JOK30, JOK40 blends with load increase.; while, JOK30, JOK40 and JOK50 samples exhibited higher CO2 and lower UHC emission levels than diesel. No traceable level of NOx emission was recorded for JOK20 fuel sample.
The article presents the possibilities of using artificial intelligence methods to model the injection doses of a modern Common Rail (CR) fuel injector. The presented neural network solution belongs to the experimental models known as black boxes in mechatronics. The backpropagation algorithm and its Levenberg-Marquardt expansion were used for the simulation. The analysis showed that there is a good match between the measurements and the computational model. The proposed solution can be used in the processes of diagnosing not only elements of the injection equipment, but also the internal combustion engine.
Despite the development of hybrid and electric vehicles, a many-million population of cars with combustion engines, and particularly CI engines occurs on the roads. Also, many stationary CI engines are still utilized. Despite their improved technologies and characteristics the modern CI engines negatively affect an environment due to cold starting problems. Below 0°C, engine starts are problematic due to the decreased battery performance and the spray characteristics, the increased ignition delay time, and the engine oil viscosity. Therefore, various glow plugs are applied to facilitate this process. Types, features, and applications of glow plugs in various engines have been discussed in the paper. One case of failure of glow plug has been presented in the article, including the cause of it.
Pyrolysis oil obtained from thermal biomass processing (torrefaction and pyrolysis) was used as an additional fuel for the compression-ignition engine equipped with a classic (non-common rail) injection system. The basic fuel used to the engine was regular diesel fuel. The tests were carried out with two content of pyrolysis oil in diesel fuel as follows: 10 and 20% by volume. In addition, the combustion process was investigated in the engine operating only on pyrolysis oil. The test results were based on a comparative analysis, where the diesel fuel was used as the reference fuel. The obtained results indicate that is a real possibility of co-combustion of pyrolysis oil with diesel fuel in the CI engine. On the other hand, a decrease in engine power resulting from the lower calorific value of pyrolysis oil and a greater unrepeatability of engine consecutive work cycles were observed.
The engine control process is usually carried out based on array control algorithms with a fixed mesh size. Modification of control algorithms based on experimental test data requires the use of programs that make it possible to determine the control algorithm parameters. The article presents the methodology of determining the compression-ignition engine control algorithms. A custom computer program was presented, which was used to determine the control algorithm parameters. These control algorithms values were determined based on the results of experimental engine tests, and using the presented program. The parameters were introduced into the laboratory compression-ignition engine controller. The experimental tests performed on the engine, whose operation was managed by the programmed laboratory controller, confirmed the usefulness of the proposed methodology for determining input data of control algorithms.

Research of efficient and ecological parameters was carried out with compression ignition (CI) engine using diesel fuel and additionally supplied hydrogen and oxygen (HHO) gas mixture. HHO gas is produced by electrolysis when the water was dissociating. At constant engine‘s brake torque and with increasing HHO gas volumetric concentration in taken air up to 0.2%, engine efficient indicators varies marginally, however, with bigger HHO concentration these parameters becomes worse. HHO increases smokiness, but it decreases NOx concentration in exhaust gas. Numerical analysis of combustion process using AVL BOOST software lets to conclude that hydrogen, which is found in HHO gas, ignites faster than diesel fuel and air mixture. Hydrogen combustion before TDC makes a negative work and it changes diesel fuel combustion process – diesel ignition delay phase becomes shorter, kinetic (premixed) combustion phase intensity gets smaller.
The article presents the test results of the single cylinder compression ignition engine with common rail injection system operating on biofuels and conventional diesel blends with hydrogen. Two types of liquid fuels were tested: blend of the 7% Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) with conventional diesel fuel and Neste Pro Diesel – blend of the 15% Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), produced by Neste Oil Corporation with conventional diesel fuel. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of the hydrogen addition to biofuels and diesel blends on combustion phases, autoignition delay, engine performance efficiency and exhaust emissions. Hydrogen fraction was changed within the range from 0 to 43% by energy. Hydrogen was injected into the intake manifold, where it created homogeneous mixture with air. Tests were performed at both fixed and optimal injection timings at low, medium, and nominal engine load. After analysis of the engine bench tests and simulation with AVL BOOST software, it was observed that increasing hydrogen fraction shortened the fuel ignition delay phase and it affected the main combustion phase. Moreover, decrease of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and smoke opacity was observed with increase of hydrogen amounts to the engine. However, increase of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentration in the engine exhaust gases was observed.

Zwiększenie wykorzystania paliw alternatywnych to jeden z głównych kierunków rozwoju współczesnej energetyki. Jednym z paliw, o znaczeniu rosnącym w najbliższym czasie, jest biogaz, który powstaje na skutek naturalnych procesów zachodzących podczas rozkładu biomasy. W artykule opisano wyniki badań wykorzystania biogazu do zasilania silników o zapłonie samoczynnym. Z uwagi na wysoką temperaturę samozapłonu metanu, głównego palnego składnika biogazu, jego wykorzystanie w tych silnikach wymaga zastosowania dwupaliwowego układu zasilania. W takim rozwiązaniu niewielka dawka paliwa ciekłego wtryskiwana do komory spalania wywołuje zapłon metanu. W artykule przedstawiono wpływ udziału biogazu w dawce zasilającej oraz wpływ wybranych parametrów sterujących na osiągi współczesnego silnika spalinowego z układem zasilania typu Common Rail.

Increase of the use of alternative fuels is the main objective for modern energy industry. Biogas, as a product of natural processes occurring during the decomposition of biomass, is gaining appreciation all over the world. The paper describes the results of research on the use of biogas as fuel for compression-ignition engines. Because of the high auto-ignition temperature of methane, which is the main combustible component of biogas, its use re-quires a dual-fuel supply system. In such approach, a small dose of conventional liquid fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber and causes the ignition of gaseous fuel. The paper also describes influence of the biogas quantity and selected control parameters on the performance of a modern internal combustion engine equipped with Common Rail injection system.

Reducing emissions of particulate matter in the exhaust gas of modern vehicles has been one of the priorities in the fight against environmental pollution from automotive sources for many years. As a result of technological development and implementation of high pressure fuel injection into the combustion chamber, particles present in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines are of smaller and smaller size, able to penetrate not only the respiratory tract but also the circulatory systems of humans and animals. Such particles are especially dangerous because of the difficulty (or even impossibility) of their removal from living organisms, and the attendant carcinogenic impact. For this reason, it is extremely important to accurately measure particulate emissions in exhaust gas. The current regulations limit the emission of particulate matter specified in terms of mass and number. However, for practical reasons, it is necessary to continuously improve other methods for more accurate measurements of particulate emissions. These methods may include numerical measurement of the size distribution of the particles, as well as various continuous measurements of particle concentration. All of these measurements permit a clear understanding of the work areas of the engine - where the highest emissions are encountered and thus enable the development of a suitable calibration for the engine and exhaust aftertreatment system to minimize particulate emissions. This paper describes current methods of measurement of particulate emissions, both standardized and used only for research and development purposes.

Ograniczenie emisji cząstek stałych w spalinach nowoczesnych samochodów już od wielu lat jest jednym z priorytetów w walce z zanieczyszczeniami środowiska ze źródeł motoryzacyjnych. W wyniku rozwoju technologicznego i wprowadzania wysokociśnieniowego wtrysku paliwa do komory spalania, w spalinach silników spalania wewnętrznego znajdują się cząstki stałe o coraz mniejszych wymiarach, zdolne do przenikania nie tylko do układu oddechowego, ale także do układu krwionośnego ludzi i zwierząt. Jest to szczególnie niebezpieczne z uwagi na trudność (czy wręcz niemożność) usuwania takich cząstek z organizmów żywych, a co za tym idzie kancerogenne oddziaływanie. Z tego powodu niezwykle ważne jest dokładne mierzenie emisji cząstek stałych w spalinach. Obecnie obowiązujące przepisy limitują emisję cząstek stałych określoną masowo i liczbowo. Jednakże ze względów praktycznych konieczne jest ciągłe doskonalenie innych metod pozwalających na dokładniejsze pomiary emisji cząstek stałych. Do metod tych można zaliczyć pomiar liczbowy cząstek stałych z rozkładem wielkości tychże cząstek, jak również wszelkie pomiary ciągłe stężenia cząstek. Wszystkie te pomiary pozwalają na dokładne poznanie obszarów pracy silnika, w których emisja ta jest najwyższa i dzięki temu umożliwiają opracowanie takich kalibracji silnika i układów oczyszczania spalin, aby emisję tą minimalizować. W niniejszym artykule opisano stosowane obecnie metody pomiarów emisji cząstek stałych, zarówno te znormalizowane, jak i wykorzystywane tylko do celów badań badawczo-rozwojowych.
Lubricity of fuels for CI engines becomes one of very important parameter since the sulphur content was decreased to 50 and actually 10 ppm. To provide effective lubrication of fuel pumps and unit injectors elements, in case fuel does not contain organic sulphur compounds, the oxygen containing organic compounds are added as lubrication additives. Biocomponents are usually introduced into mineral diesel fuel containing additives package, which includes lubricating additive (organic acid). The aim of this paper is investigation of the influence of polar oxygenates added to petroleum diesel fuel in concentration between 5 and 20% (V/V) on lubricating additive effectiveness in protective layer creation. The results of HFRR tests obtained for blends of commercial diesel fuel containing lubricating additive with biobuthanol models (MB) leads to conclusion that: − generally the buthanol isomers addition increases wear of upper ball of HFRR apparatus, − wear of upper ball of HFRR apparatus depends on the average film thickness and does not depend on tested fuels viscosity at 40°C, − dilution of commercial diesel fuel by biobuthanol models and consequently decreasing of lubricating additive concentration cannot be the only reason of deterioration of tested blends lubricity. It was concluded, that the possible reason of lubricity deterioration by buthanol added to commercial diesel fuel in concentration between 5 and 20% (V/V) are antagonistic interactions between oxygenates (buthyl alcohol) and lubricating additive. These antagonistic interactions depend on the structure of buthanol isomers.
The paper describes the usability of current test methods employed in fuels for CI engines testing for fuels containing non-petroleum components. The paper describes test results that justify the necessity for test method modification and for establishing new criteria for assessment of such fuels usability. The analysis covered typical courses of friction coefficient and electrical contact potential as film thickness during test. During standard test the wear stages were isolated, and then referenced to actual operation of friction pair in fuel supply system of diesel engine. Test results show that methodology used up to date is not useful. The restriction to standard corrected wear scar diameter (WS 1.4) is not enough for proper interpretation of course and effects of model wear. Moreover, it is impossible to reference to actual operation conditions, which is inconsistent with tribological testing rules. Such rules mean that testing conditions reflect the actual ones as much as possible. Characteristics of test technique using HFRR, discussion on test method usability for testing the modified fuels, lubricity change vs. the increase of concentration of hydrocarbons typical for biohydrocarbons from Fischer-Tropsch process, comparison of changes of friction coefficient and lubrication film thickness for samples are presented in the paper.
