Vehicles powered by fossil-fuels cause to increase
harmful gases in the environment and decrease petroleum reserves. To minimize
these damages, many researchers submitted that one of the alternative fuels
which could obtain desired performance and release minimum rates of exhaust
emissions in spark-ignition (SI) engines is alcohol and they carried out many
experimental studies. In this review study, the studies about which kind of
alteration obtained in performance parameters, emissions and combustion
characteristics by using alcohol in SI engines were investigated in detail and
created tables. In addition, the reasons of these alterations were stated. With
this review, improving in engine performance and combustion characteristics and
decreasing exhaust emissions were concluded by using alcohols. 

Anahtar Kelimeler

Buji Ateşlemeli Motorlarda Alkol Yakıt Kullanımının Performans, Emisyon ve Yanma Karakteristikleri Açısından İncelenmesi

Öz

Fosil
yakıtlar ile çalışan taşıtlar, çevrede zararlı gazların artmasına ve petrol
rezervlerinin azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu zararların minimize edilmesi için
pek çok araştırmacı, buji ateşlemeli motorlarda istenilen performansı elde
edebilen ve çevreye az oranda egzoz emisyonu bırakabilen alternatif yakıtlardan
birinin de alkollerin olduğunu ileri sürmüşler ve pek çok deneysel çalışmalar
gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Bu araştırma çalışmasında; buji ateşlemeli motorlarda
alkol yakıt kullanılması durumunda motor performansında, emisyonlarda ve yanma
karakteristiklerinde ne gibi değişikliklerin olduğu üzerine gerçekleştirilmiş
çalışmalar detaylı bir şekilde incelenerek tablolar oluşturulmuş ve bu
değişikliklerin nedenleri açıklanmıştır. Araştırma ile alkol kullanılmasıyla
motor performansında ve yanma karakteristiklerinde artış olduğu ve egzoz
emisyonlarında ise azalmaların gerçekleştiği sonucuna varılmıştır. 

Anahtar Kelimeler
