Abstract

The growing need for cleaner and more efficient energy sources has driven extensive research into biofuels and their additives to improve combustion performance and reduce emissions. This study investigates the potential impact of heterocyclic Schiff bases as biofuel additives, exploring their effects on combustion efficiency, engine performance, and emissions characteristics in compression ignition engines. The research aims to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by leveraging the unique chemical properties of Schiff bases. Heterocyclic Schiff bases, known for their diverse chemical properties, offer a novel avenue for enhancing the combustion properties of fuels. 4-Aminoantipyrine (AAP) Schiff base was synthesized as a fuel additive. The prepared AAP Schiff base was mixed homogeneously within a mixture of ethanol before being incorporated into diesel. The different blends, such as 90 % diesel +10 % ethanol (D90E10) and 90 % diesel + 10 % ethanol + 100 ppm AAP (D90E10-AAP), were prepared for the experiments. Utilizing an eddy current dynamometer, the combustion properties of fuel blends were systematically compared against diesel within a compression ignition engine operating spanning three distinct BMEP levels. Fuel additives improve the emissions and performance of the engine. In terms of cylinder pressure, knock density and mean gas temperature, it was determined that the fuel with novel additive D90E10-AAP results in improvements to diesel. The study is expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on this topic and provide insights into the potential applications of AAP Schiff base as a biofuel additive in the automotive industry.

期刊介绍： Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
