Resumen
Experimental investigation of the single cylinder engine performance using emulsified diesel fuel. Energética [online]. 2013, vol.34, n.1, pp. 11-20. ISSN 1815-5901.
In this investigation an analysis based on the performances and emission of a Petter single cylinder direct injection diesel engine when using an emulsion of 5 % of water, 2 % of surfactant and diesel fuel as fuel is carried out. The result obtained with the emulsion tested shown slight increase in effective torque and power output, but also increases in brake specific fuel consumption and ignition delay. Concerning the exhausts, increases in hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions for emulsion were obtained. In both cases the increases are due to the effect of lower temperatures inside the combustion chamber, longer ignition delays and quenching of the flame.
