EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF TURBOCHARGED SINGLE CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE

ABSTRACT
Pollution due to auto exhaust has assumed menacing proportion in the developing countries, like India, where its contribution is nearly 45% - 75 % of the total air pollution in urban areas. Diesel powered vehicles and equipment account for nearly half of all nitrogen oxides (NOx) and more than two thirds of all particulate matter emission. For long turbochargers have been used to improve the power harnessed from the IC engine at the same input fuel quantity and without increasing the combustion chamber capacity. In this experiment we study the effect of turbocharger on the exhaust emission of a diesel engine. The experimental study is done on a 350 CC single …show more content…

rich mixture with equivalence ratio more than 1. This conditions occur during starting especially in cold conditions, sudden acceleration and loading.
Due to inadequate time for combustion during quick strokes of the piston at higher rotational speeds.
Unburned fuel or partially burned fuel entrapped in the crevice volumes of the cylinder wall.

It was observed that the HC emissions for bio-diesel blend was less than their diesel counterparts. This is because of the lower ignition delay of bio-diesel and hence more fuel is burnt for the same time period resulting in less HC. The turbocharger ensures more mixing of air and fuel leading to a homogeneous mixture which burns cleaner. This reduces the HC emission by a small extent by usage of turbocharger. Hence the HC emission for bio-diesel with turbocharger is the least in all speeds. Naturally aspirated engine with diesel fuel emitted more HC.

But at higher concentration it is an important greenhouse gas and is a major contributor to global warming. Carbon-di-oxide is a major component of vehicle exhaust.
Figure- 4.3. Speed vs CO2

The products of complete combustion are water vapour and carbon-di-oxide alone. If more fuel is burnt more CO2 emissions are observed in the exhaust. Usage of bio-diesel
Increases the CO2 emissions a little since more fuel is burnt due to less ignition delay. Turbocharger has proved to reduce the CO2 emission since the excess of oxygen is used for the formation of water vapour (H20) rather than CO2.

4.4 CO Emission
CO emission are formed due to inadequate oxygen to form carbon-di-oxide from carbon. CO is a colourless, odourless gas which is also poisonous when inhaled continuously. In CI engines the CO emissions are far lesser than SI engines due to presence of lean mixture present.
By less ignition delay, CO emission is also reduced by turbocharger as more oxygen is available for conversion of carbon to CO2.
Biodiesel have more cetane number it help to increase ignition delay and gets complete

  • The Pros And Cons Of Dioxins

    1043 Words  | 5 Pages

    Dioxins are primarily by-products or residues from thermal industrial processes (combustion) that involve chlorine, but they can also occur during natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions or forest fires. They are undesirable byproducts in a large number of manufacturing processes, such as melting, chlorine bleaching of pulp, and the production of certain herbicides and pesticides. In terms of emissions, it is considered that most of the dioxin released into the environment comes from uncontrolled waste incinerators (solid waste and hospital waste), which are the biggest culprits, with incomplete combustion. There are also large stocks of used industrial oils throughout the world whose longterm preservation and elimination of these materials

    Even though many might say that driving is more convent, it is actually more harmful to the Earth. Biking or walking to places nearby can help cut down the carbon produced in the air. According to Jensen and McMillan, we can save about “575 million tons of carbon dioxide” if we cut down driving (Jensen and McMillan 706). This is telling us that if we try to cut back on the driving the air can be much cleaner because it is reducing how much carbon dioxide is exerted. Cutting back on driving is one of the many solutions that can help cut back on carbon dioxide production.

Natural gas has been widely used all over many states, Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Colorado use natural gas and the percentage has increased by about 7.5% in 2011, the total of natural gas being used in the U.S. has increased by 65%. Many, if not most, of these states use natural gas for their vehicles, their heating and many kitchen appliances. Manufacturers offer factory built, natural gas trucks, vans, Public buses and school buses, there are

    The principal at Riverwood High School recently proposes that all school bus drivers shut off their bus engines while waiting for students to board buses in the school parking lot or whenever buses are parked for several minutes. As the bus drivers turn on the engine, whether while waiting for the students or delivering students from home to school and vice versa, several gasses are produced such as carbon dioxide (CO2) that are emitted from the vehicle into the atmosphere. As CO2 in the atmosphere increases, more heat is trap in the atmosphere which contribute to the climate change. In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) have contributed into polluting the atmosphere while the bus are idling. CO are a poisonous gas that are odorless and colorless.

    the average fuel economy for a gas truck is around 14mpg. Along with the poor fuel economy, the gas that goes through the truck does not burn as clean. When the gas does not burn as clean, that means that it puts out more pollution than a diesel engine. A diesel engine also has 25-30% better fuel economy that a gas engine. With the 25-30% better fuel economy, a diesel engine can deliver much more fuel economy that electric hybrids.

Instead of having a gas tank and having to fill it up at a gas station, these cars have batteries in their place and can be recharged with a larger charging station and needs 220 volts. The recharged batteries stay charged until the car is driven. Some people say that battery powered cars are slower, but it isn’t by much and battery powered cars think is worth slowing down a little if it means saving the planet.
