Performance and Emission Analysis of RCCI Engine Fuelled with Acetylene Gas

The consistent demand for the diesel fueled vehicles is expanding quickly. Because of consumption of conventional fuels, the world needs to discover alternative fuel to run the diesel vehicles. The alternative fuel innovation should give more effectiveness in engine performance and emanate negligible measure of pollutants like CO, HC, NO_x, and particulate matters. The emerging method which is named as reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) demonstrated higher thermal efficiency and lower emission. In this investigation, as per the RCCI technique, the low reactivity fuel acetylene is introduced at different flow rates into manifold. At that point, the high reactivity diesel is acquainted in a conventional manner to combustion chamber. The outcome demonstrates the impressive improvement in the performance characteristics, and also environmental pollutants like smoke, CO, and HC emissions are diminished. The NO_x emissions are somewhat increased when compared with the diesel fuelled operation.
