Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment / This research is an investigation into the performance and combustion characteristics of
a two-cylinder, four-stroke compression ignition engine fuelled on diesel and then on
dimethyl ether (DME). Baseline tests were performed using diesel. The tests were then
repeated for dimethyl ether fuelling. All DME tests were performed at an injection
opening pressure of 210 bar, as recommended for diesel fuelling. The tests were all
carried out at constant torque with incremental increases in speed and an improved
method of measuring the DME flow rate was devised. It was found that the engine’s
performance characteristics were very similar, regardless of whether the engine was
fuelled on diesel or DME. Brake power, indicated power and cylinder pressure, during
the highest loading condition of 55 Nm, were virtually identical for diesel and DME
fuelling, with the most significant finding being that the engine was more efficient when
fuelled on DME than when fuelled with diesel. Another interesting finding was that the
energy release of diesel decreases with increasing load, whilst the energy release of
DME increases with increasing load. At the highest loading condition of 55 Nm, the
energy release of DME was approximately 210 joules higher than that of diesel. This
investigation concluded that DME may definitely be a suitable substitute fuel for diesel.

Shock Tube Ignition Studies of Renewable Diesel Fuels for Medium and Heavy-Duty TransportationMohammed, Zuhayr Pasha 01 January 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Currently extensive research on alternative fuels is being conducted due to their increasing demand to reduce greenhouse emissions. One renewable fuel studied in this work is dimethyl ether (DME) blended with propane(C3H8) as a potential mixture for heavy-duty engines used in semi-trucks. The blend has the potential to drastically reduce particulate and greenhouse gas emissions compared to a conventional diesel engine operating under similar conditions. To develop the use of mixture, one must conduct detailed conceptual and simulation studies before progressing to detail studies in CFD, engine modifications, and live testing. For simulations, accurate high-fidelity chemical kinetic models are necessary. However, the validity of the chemical kinetic mechanism for operating conditions of a heavy-duty mixing-controlled compression (MCCI) engine was widely unknown until recent work presented here and published. In this work, we studied the ignition of DME and propane blends in a shock tube under MCCI engine conditions. Ignition delay time (IDT) gathered behind the reflected shock for DME-propane mixtures for heavy-duty compression ignition (CI) engine parameters. Testing was conducted for undiluted varieties spanning from temperatures of 700 to 1100 K at pressures ranging from 55 to 84 bar for various blends (100% CH3OCH3, 100% C3H8, 60% CH3OCH3/ 40% C3H8) of DME and propane were combusted in synthetic air (21% O2/ 79% N2). Several experiments were conducted at higher pressures (90-120 bar) to improve the model performance and accuracy. The ignition delay times (IDTs) were compared to recent mechanisms, including Aramco3.0, NUIG, and Dames et al. A common trend among the mechanisms was overpredicted experimental IDTs. Further studies were conducted by a sensitivity analysis using the Dames et al. model, and critical reactions sensitive to IDTs of DME-propane mixture near 60 bar are outlined. Chemical analysis was conducted on the NTC region to explain chemical kinetics which is critical for developing MCCI heavy duty engines.

Conceptual design of gasification-based biorefineries using the C-H-O ternary diagramLitheko, Lefu Andrew 10 1900 (has links)
This dissertation develops a systematic targeting method based on the C-H-O ternary diagram for the conceptual design of gasification-based biorefineries. The approach is applied using dimethyl ether (DME) as case study. A stoichiometric equilibrium model is presented for calculation of the C-H-O chemical equilibria to evaluate and predict equilibrium syngas composition, operating temperature, type and amount of oxidant required in biomass gasification. Overall atomic species balances are developed and process targets are plotted on the C-H-O ternary diagram. Sustainability metrics are incorporated to provide useful insights into the efficiency of biorefinery process targets. It was found that syngas at 1200 and 1500 K is predominantly H2 and CO. Moreover, DME biorefineries have two main process targets, based on the indirect and direct synthesis routes. Gasification at 1200 K and 1 atm. using H2O/CO2 = 2.642 (w/w) and H2O/CH4 = 1.645 (w/w) achieved syngas composition targets for the direct and indirect methods respectively. Comparatively, the integrated biorefinery based on indirect route was more efficient, producing 1.903 ton of DME per ton of biomass feedstock. The process is 100% carbon-efficient and recycles 1.025 tons of H2O. / Civil and Chemical Engineering / M. Tech. (Chemical Engineering)
