Effect Of A Diesel Fuel Additive On The Particulate Emissions Of A Single-Cylinder Compression-Ignition Engine
Abstract
A single-cylinder diesel engine was operated with both a baseline fuel and a additive-modified fuel to determine the variation in particulate emissions between the two fuels. Exhaust gases were sampled through a constant volume sampling dilution chamber and drawn through a filter medium on which the particulate matter deposited. It was determined that particulate emissions increased with the modified fuel with respect to the baseline fuel. Furthermore, the effects appeal to be dependent on engine speed.
