Abstract

Bu çalışmada, hacimsel olarak %15 oranında biyodizel içeren dizel-biyodizel yakıt karışımına (B15) alüminyum oksit (Al2O3) nanoparçacıkları ile bütil hidroksi tolüen (BHT), tersiyer bütil hidrokinon (TBHQ) ve karanfil esansiyel yağı (KEY) antioksidan katkı maddelerinin eklenmesinin yanma karakteristikleri, motor performansı ve egzoz emisyonlarına etkileri deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Al2O3 nanoparçacıkları 100 ppm konsantrasyonunda ve antioksidan katkı maddelerinin her biri 2000 ppm konsantrasyonunda B15 yakıtına eklenmiştir. Elde edilen katkılı yakıtlar ile katkı içermeyen dizel ve B15 yakıtı dört zamanlı ve tek silindirli bir dizel motorda test edilmiştir. Al2O3 nanoparçacıklarının tek başına yakıt katkısı olarak kullanıldığında motor performansının iyileştiği, CO, HC ve is emisyonlarının azaldığı ancak aynı çalışma şartlarında NOX emisyonunun ortalama %30.36 oranında arttığı belirlenmiştir. Al2O3 nanoparçacıklarının ve antioksidan katkı maddelerinin birlikte kullanılması durumunda NOX emisyonu ortalama %7.63 oranında azalmış ve B15 yakıtına çok yakın motor performans değerleri elde edilmiştir. NOX emisyonunun azaltılmasında TBHQ antioksidan katkı maddesinin diğer antioksidanlara göre daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Investigation of the effects of Al2O3 nanoparticles and various antioxidant additives on a diesel engine characteristic

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the addition of aluminium oxide (AI2O3) nanoparticles and butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT), tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) and clove essential oil (CEO) antioxidant additives to a diesel-biodiesel fuel mixture (B15) containing 15% by volume biodiesel on combustion characteristics, engine performance and exhaust emissions were investigated experimentally. Al2O3 nanoparticles at the dosage of 100 ppm and each of the antioxidant additives at a concentration of 2000 ppm were added to the B15 fuel. The obtained test fuels with additives and the additive-free diesel and B15 fuel were tested in a four-stroke and single-cylinder diesel engine. It is determined that when Al2O3 nanoparticles are used alone as a fuel additive, engine performance improves, CO, HC and soot emissions decrease, but NOx emission increases by an average of 30.36% under the same operating conditions. It is found that when Al2O3 nanoparticles and antioxidant additives are added together to fuel, NOx emission decreases by 7.63% on average and engine performance values are very close to those of B15 fuel. It is concluded that the TBHQ antioxidant additive is more effective than other antioxidants in NOx emission reduction.
