The expediency of using vehicles of liquefied petroleum gas as a motor fuel, as com-pared with traditional liquid motor fuels, in particular with diesel fuel, is shown. The advantages of converting diesel engines into gas ICEs with forced ignition with respect to conversion into gas diesel engines are substantiated. The analysis of methods for reducing the compression ratio in diesel engines when converting them into gas ICEs with forced ignition has been carried out. It is shown that for converting diesel engines into gas ICEs with forced ignition, it is advisable to use the Otto thermo-dynamic cycle with a decrease in the geometric degree of compression. The choice is grounded and an open combustion chamber in the form of an inverted axisymmetric “truncated cone” is developed. The proposed shape of the combustion chamber of a gas internal combustion engine for operation in the LPG reduces the geometric compression ratio of D-120 and D-144 diesel engines with an unseparated spherical combustion chamber, which reduces the geometric compression ratio from ε = 16,5 to ε = 9,4. The developed form of the combustion chamber allows the new diesel pistons or diesel pistons which are in operation to be in operation to be refined, instead of making special new gas pistons and to reduce the geometric compression ratio of diesel engines only by increasing the combustion chamber volume in the piston. This method of reducing the geometric degree of compression using conventional lathes is the most technologically advanced and cheap, as well as the least time consuming. Keywords: self-propelled chassis SSh-2540, wheeled tractors, diesel engines D-120 and D-144, gas engine with forced ignition, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compression ratio of the internal com-bustion engine, vehicles operating in the LPG.

A phenomenological model has been established to predict the velocity distribution of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) jet in combustion chamber of spark ignition (SI) engine. A shaped coefficient \(\beta\) governing the similarity of velocity profiles of LPG jets has been defined based on the theoretical and experimental analyses of turbulent diffusion jets. The results show that \(\beta\) is constant for steady jet but it is not the case for unsteady one. The model will enable us to calculate the velocity profiles of LPG jet after ending injection. This is necessary for research of stratified combustion in direct injection LPG SI engines.

Biogas resulted from anaerobic digestion of organic compounds have various methane content depend on the type of the degraded material. The methane content of biogas is range between 40–80% that influence the heating value and combustion characteristic of that biogas. The higher methane content can be obtained through upgrading biogas by removing CO2 and other trace components like H2S, NH3, and water vapor. This research was a simulation of product composition and temperature of biogas combustion in various methane content and air biogas equivalence ratio. Biogas combustion was done in combustion chamber at constant pressure of 1 atm. Biogas and air enter into combustion chamber at temperature approximately of 30 °C as the common ambient temperature in Indonesia. The input air was designed higher than stoichiometric need in order to reach complete combustion. Combustion reaction between methane and O2 then carried out in the combustion chamber to produce CO2 and H2O. The product gases consisting of CO2, H2O, N2, and excess O2, bring heat from combustion reaction and exit from combustion chamber at the higher temperature. The analysis was done for methane content range between 20 and 100% with air biogas equivalence ratio from 1 until 3. The simulation result showed that for V m3 biogas, the combustion gases could reach 0.12271 until 1.26798V gmol with temperature above 700 °C until above 1900 °C. More than 50% component in the combustion gases is N2 as inert material from input air to combustion chamber.

The sudden increase in fuel prices due to diminishing petroleum resources and the pollution resulting from its use has resulted in research into alternative fuels such as biodiesel. In addition, the faster combustion and high temperature in the combustion chamber which results from petroleum diesel fuel leads to higher nitrogen oxide (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions. Therefore, this research was conducted to investigate the effect of using palm oil methyl ester (POME) blends as alternative fuels on the performance and emission of a compression ignition engine. The performance of POME blends and diesel were compared by manipulating the load of the engine at 1800 rpm. The results obtained show that fuel consumption rate is higher for the POME blends compared to the diesel fuel and increases as the POME concentration increases. The increment of brake specific fuel consumption and the reduction of CO emission exhibit a relation to the increase in percentage of POME. This is mainly contributed by the higher oxygen content of POME which promotes complete combustion of the blends. However, efficient combustion from the blends as compared to diesel fuel resulted from higher oxygen content and cetane number leads to significant increase in exhaust temperature. This in turn increases NOx emissions since using POME blends is highly related to high temperature of combustion chamber. The experimental results proved that POME in compression ignition engine is a possible substitute to diesel.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sprays and diffusion flames are investigated in a constant volume combustion chamber having an impingement plate. The spray and flame images are visualized and compared with diesel and gasoline images over a wide range of ambient pressure. The high-speed digital camera is used to take the flame images. The injection pressure is generated by a Haskel air-driven pump, and the initial chamber pressure is adjusted by the amount of pumping air. The LPG spray and flame photographs are compared with those of gasoline and diesel fuel at the same conditions, and then the spray and flame development behaviour is analysed. The spray photographs show that the dispersion characteristics of LPG spray are sensitive to the ambient pressure. In a low initial chamber pressure LPG fuel in the liquid phase evaporates quickly and does not reach down easily to the impinging plate having a hot coil for ignition. That makes the temperature and equivalence ratio low near the ignition coil, thus making ignition diffcult. On the other hand, in a high initial chamber pressure the spray leaving the nozzle gathers around the ignition site after impinging on the plate, which makes an intense flame near the plate. If applied to small-sized direct injection engines that are not able to avoid spray impinging on a cylinder wall, LPG will have faster and cleaner combustion than diesel or gasoline fuels. However, the chamber geometry should be carefully designed to enable a sufficient amount of vaporized fuel to get to the ignition site

The combustion chamber of gas turbine unit is one of the most critical components to be designed. The study of literature review reveals that much work is available pertaining to design and performance of combustion chamber. However, the systematic approach and optimized liner wall configuration is not easily traceable in the literature. This is particularly true for small capacity units. Hence there is a need for experimental optimization of combustion chamber in small capacity range. The present work aims at the experimental optimization of liner wall configuration. Four different types of combustion chambers with primary zone equivalence ratios of 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.1 are designed, developed and experimented based on which an optimal configuration is recommended. It is worth to mention that the present work clearly focuses the combustion chamber with equivalence ratio in primary zone as 0.9 as the optimal combustion chamber.

With the current shift from centralized to more decentralized power production, new opportunities arise for small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) production units like micro gas turbines (mGTs). However, to fully embrace these opportunities, the current mGT technology has to become more flexible in terms of operation—decoupling the heat and power production in CHP mode—and in terms of fuel utilization—showing flexibility in the operation with different lower heating value (LHV) fuels. Cycle humidification, e.g., by performing steam injection, is a possible route to handle these problems. Current simulation models are able to correctly assess the impact of humidification on the cycle performance, but they fail to provide detailed information on the combustion process. To fully quantify the potential of cycle humidification, more advanced numerical models—preferably validated—are necessary. These models are not only capable of correctly predicting the cycle performance, but they can also handle the complex chemical kinetics in the combustion chamber. In this paper, we compared and validated such a model with a typical steady-state model of the steam injected mGT cycle based on the Turbec T100. The advanced one is an in-house MATLAB model, based on the NIST database for the characterization of the properties of the gaseous compounds with the combustion mechanisms embedded according to the Gri-MEch 3.0 library. The validation one was constructed using commercial software (Aspen Plus), using the more advance Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS)- Boston-Mathias(BM) property method and assuming complete combustion by using a Gibbs reactor. Both models were compared considering steam injection in the compressor outlet or in the combustion chamber, focusing only on the global cycle performance. Simulation results of the steam injection cycle fueled with natural gas and syngas showed some differences between the two presented models (e.g., 5.9% on average for the efficiency increase over the simulated steam injection rates at nominal power output for injection in the compressor outlet); however, the general trends that could be observed are consistent. Additionally, the numerical results of the injection in the compressor outlet were also validated with steam-injection experiments in a Turbec T100, indicating that the advanced MATLAB model overestimates the efficiency improvement by 25–45%. The results show the potential of simulating the humidified cycle using more advanced models; however, in future work, special attention should be paid to the experimental tuning of the model parameters in general and the recuperator performance in particular to allow correct assessment of the cycle performance.
