Performance, Combustion and Emission Analysis for Various Combustion Chamber Geometry

Abstract:

The experimental work investigates performance, combustion and emission analysis for various combustion chamber geometry such as combustion, brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, and emission characteristics. The various combustion chamber namely Spherical chamber (SC), Toroidal chamber (TC), Re-entrant chamber (RC) were fitted in a 4.4 kW single cylinder air cooled Compression ignition (CI) engine and tests were conducted with standard diesel. The investigated of the combustion chamber geometry characteristics on combustion, performance and emissions. This investigation shows brake thermal efficiency for Re-entrant chamber and Toroidal chamber is slightly higher than Spherical chamber. And lower specific fuel consumption of Toroidal chamber, Re-entrant chamber than that of Spherical chamber. The enhancement in reduction of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon is recorded for Re-entrant chamber compared to the Toroidal chamber and Spherical chamber. Oxides of nitrogen are reduced for Re-entrant chamber and Toroidal chamber than that of Spherical chamber. Combustion characteristics improved for Re-entrant chamber compared to Spherical chamber. The cylinder pressure for Re-entrant chamber and Toroidal chamber is higher than that of Spherical chamber. Also obtained maximum heat release rate for Re-entrant chamber than Toroidal chamber and Spherical chamber.
