    The effect of n-butanol additive on low load combustion, performance and emissions of biodiesel-diesel blend in a heavy duty diesel power generator
    (Elsevier, 2017-04) Işık, Mehmet Zerrakki; Bayındır, Hasan; İşcan, Bahattin; Aydın, Hüseyin
    Diesel power generators are often used under partially load conditions. Especially, under low load conditions, it is crucial to find a solution for their considerably high brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) and exhaust output emissions. Other points are the usability of waste cooking oil and an oxygenated alternative fuel in low load conditions of diesel generator. In this point of view, 10% n-butanol and 10% biodiesel mixture was blended with 80% of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel named here as BB20 was used and comparisons have been made with 20% biodiesel/80% diesel fuel named here as B20 and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel named here as (D2). Previously, main important physical and chemical fuel properties of test fuel have been found. These fuels were tested in low load operations of a diesel engine generator in order to find out the effects of blend fuels on combustion characteristics, performance and emissions of the test engine. The test results are presented in this paper and seem to raise quite interesting points. Butanol addition to diesel and biodiesel blends can be considered as a good solution for reducing density, viscosity and thus sustainable usability of biodiesel and increase thermal efficiency and lower carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) under comparatively lower load conditions in diesel power generator engines.

    Emissions from an engine fueled with biodiesel-kerosene blends
    (Taylor & Francis, 2011-01) Aydın, Hüseyin; Bayındır, Hasan; İlkılıç, Cumali
    Biofuels are renewable energy sources for internal combustion engines and they have low emissions. They are increasingly used as an alternative to petroleum fuels. In this work, three different fuel types, such as commercial diesel fuel (D2), 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuel called here as B20, and 80% biodiesel and 20% kerosene, called here as BK20, were used in a single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection compression ignition engine. Kerosene was used as an additive to approach the properties of biodiesel to D2. The effects of the blends on CO, NOx, and smoke emissions as well as on some of the performance parameter of the engine were investigated. The prepared fuel, BK20 blend, has almost the same fuel properties as conventional diesel fuel. The experimental results showed that the exhaust emissions for BK20 were fairly reduced as compared to diesel fuel as well as B20. Besides, the performance of CI engine was improved with the use of the BK20, especially in comparison to B20. Results suggest that the BK20 can be substituted to the petroleum-based diesel fuel in diesel engines.

    The effects of λ and ε on engine performance and exhaust emissions using ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends in an SI engine
    (Taylor & Francis, 2011-01) Bayındır, Hasan; Yücesu, Hüseyin Serdar; Aydın, Hüseyin
    In this study, the effect of relative air-fuel ratio (λ) and compression ratio (ε) on engine performance and exhaust emissions was experimentally investigated. The experiments were performed by varying ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends as E0 (100% unleaded gasoline), E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline blend), E30 (30% ethanol and 70% gasoline blend), and E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline blend). In experiments, first the effects of ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends on engine performance and exhaust emissions at 0.931, 1, and 1.069 λ values were clarified. Second, tests were carried out with compression ratios of 7:1, 9:1, and 11:1. The results indicated that the relative air-fuel ratio and ethanol content play an important role in reducing CO (carbon monoxide emissions) and HC (hydrocarbon) emissions. Results also showed that the engine power was slightly decreased, especially at higher engine speeds. A probable knocking phenomenon did not occur with the increase of compression ratio because of a higher octane number of ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends.

    An experimental study on the exhaust emissions of a partially loaded compressed ignition engine fueled with biodiesel derived from cottonseed oil
    (Taylor & Francis, 2010-01) Aydın, Hüseyin; Bayındır, Hasan
    The world energy demand is increasing rapidly due to the excessive use of the fuels but because of limited reserves, the researchers are now looking for alternative fuels. Another serious problem associated with the use of petroleum fuel is the increase in pollutants emissions. In this study, cottonseed oil methyl ester was added to diesel fuel by volume of 5% (B5), 20% (B20), and 50% (B50). Blends were used in a single cylinder, direct injection, air-cooled diesel engine at partial and full load condition. In experiments, the effects of cottonseed oil methyl ester ester-diesel fuel blend on the engine fuel consumption and exhaust emissions were investigated at 2,000 rpm of engine speed that most engines run on. At the tests, the effect of blends on fuel consumption, exhaust gases temperature, CO, NOx, SO2, and smoke opacity was clarified. The experimental results showed that cottonseed oil methyl ester can be substituted for the diesel fuel without any modifications in diesel engines.
