    Effect of injection timing on the exhaust emissions of a diesel engine using diesel-methanol blends
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009) SAYIN, CENK; Sayin, Cenk; Ilhan, Murat; Canakci, Mustafa; Gumus, Metin
    Environmental concerns and limited resource of petroleum fuels have caused interests in the development of alternative fuels for internal combustion (IC) engines. For diesel engines, alcohols are receiving increasing attention because they are oxygenated and renewable fuels. Therefore, in this study, the effect of injection timing on the exhaust emissions of a single cylinder, naturally aspirated, four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine has been experimentally investigated by using methanol-blended diesel fuel from 0% to 15% with an increment of 5%. The tests were conducted for three different injection timings (15 degrees, 20 degrees and 25 degrees CA BTDC) at four different engine loads (5 Nm, 10 Nm, 15 Nm, 20 Nm) at 2200 rpm. The experimental test results showed that Bsfc, NOx and CO2 emissions increased as BTE, smoke opacity, CO and UHC emissions decreased with increasing amount of methanol in the fuel mixture. When compared the results to those of original injection timing, NOx and CO2 emissions decreased, smoke opacity, UHC and CO emissions increased for the retarded injection timing (15 CA BTDC). On the other hand, with the advanced injection timing (25 degrees CA BTDC), decreasing smoke opacity, UHC and CO emissions diminished, and NOx and CO2 emissions boosted at all test conditions. In terms of Bsfc and BTE, retarded and advanced injection timings gave negative results for all fuel blends in all engine loads. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The impact of fuel injection pressure on the exhaust emissions of a direct injection diesel engine fueled with biodiesel-diesel fuel blends
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2012) SAYIN, CENK; Gumus, Metin; Sayin, Cenk; Canakci, Mustafa
    In this study, the effects of fuel injection pressure on the exhaust emissions and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine have been discussed. The engine was fueled with biodiesel-diesel blends when running the engine at four different fuel injection pressures (18, 20, 22, and 24 MPa) and four different engine loads in terms of mean effective pressure (12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50 kPa). The results confirmed that the BSFC, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and oxygen (O-2) emission increased, smoke opacity, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions decreased due to the fuel properties and combustion characteristics of biodiesel. On the other hand, the increased injection pressure caused to decrease in BSFC of high percentage biodiesel-diesel blends (such as B20, B50, and B100), smoke opacity, the emissions of CO, UHC and increased the emissions of CO2, O-2 and NOx. The increased or decreased injection pressure caused to increase in BSFC values compared to original (ORG) injection pressure for diesel fuel and low percentage biodiesel-diesel blends (B5).

    Influence of injector hole number on the performance and emissions of a DI diesel engine fueled with biodiesel-diesel fuel blends
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) SAYIN, CENK; Sayin, Cenk; Gumus, Metin; Canakci, Mustafa
    In diesel engines, fuel atomization process strongly affects the combustion and emissions. Injector hole number (INHN) particular influence on the performance and emissions because both parameters take important influence on the spray parameters like droplet size and penetration length and thus on the combustion process. Therefore, the INHN effects on the performance and emissions of a diesel engine using biodiesel and its blends were experimentally investigated by running the engine at four different engine loads in terms of brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) (12.5, 25, 37.5 and, 50 kPa). The injector nozzle hole size and number included 340 x 2 (340 mu m diameter holes with 2 holes in the nozzle), 240 x 4, 200 x 6, and 170 x 8. The results verified that the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission increased, smoke opacity (SO), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions reduced due to the fuel properties and combustion characteristics of biodiesel. However, the increased INHN caused a decrease in BSFC at the use of high percentage biodiesel diesel blends (B50 and B100), SO and the emissions of CO, HC. The emissions of CO2 and NOx increased. Compared to the original (ORG) INHN, changing the INHN caused an increase in BSFC values for diesel fuel and low percentage biodiesel-diesel blends (B5 and B20). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    Effect of Fuel Injection Timing on the Emissions of a Direct-Injection (DI) Diesel Engine Fueled with Canola Oil Methyl Ester-Diesel Fuel Blends
    (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010) SAYIN, CENK; Sayin, Cenk; Gumus, Metin; Canakci, Mustafa
    Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning monoalkyl-ester-based oxygenated fuel made from natural, renewable sources, such as new/used vegetable oils and animal fats. The injection timing plays an important role in determining engine performance, especially pollutant emissions. In this study, the effects of fuel injection timing on the exhaust emission characteristics of a single-cylinder, direct-injection diesel engine were investigated when it was fueled with canola oil methyl ester diesel fuel blends. The results showed that the brake-specific fuel consumption and carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions increased and smoke opacity, hydrocarbon, and carbon monoxide emissions decreased because of the fuel properties and combustion characteristics of canola oil methyl ester. The effect of injection timing on the exhaust emissions of the engine exhibited the similar trends for diesel fuel and canola oil methyl ester diesel blends. When the results are compared to those of original (ORG) injection timing, at the retarded injection timings, the emissions of nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide increased and the smoke opacity and the emissions of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide decreased for all test conditions. On the other hand, with the advanced injection timings, the smoke opacity and the emissions of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide diminished and the emissions of nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide boosted for all test conditions. In terms of brake-specific fuel consumption, the best results were obtained from ORG injection timing in all fuel blends.
