Abstract
BACKGROUND: The tasks of improving fuel efficiency and environmental performance of engines are interrelated with the technical, economic, resource performance and reliability of their operation.
AIM: In this regard, the aim is simulation of the alternative fuels combustion process.
METHODS: To achieve this aim, the method for preparing a water-fuel emulsion mixed with diesel fuel has been developed and experimental studies have been carried out with the measurement of toxic components of exhaust gases from diesel engines.
RESULTS: As a result of the research, the most optimal droplet sizes of water-fuel emulsions were revealed after 4–6 processing cycles with the smokiness reduction by 3 to 5 times, the NOx reduction by 2 to 3 times, the CO reduction by 20–30%, depending on the operating modes.
CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the research, it was found that the use of alternative fuels makes it possible to expand the fuel balance and to improve environmental performance.
