The objective of this study is to determine the Research Octane Number (RON) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) using a Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engine. In order to do this, a series of modifications were carried out on the engine components including piston and fuel feeding system prior to the experiments. The experiments were conducted on a wide range of LPG fuel compositions, consisting of various volumetric ratios of propane, iso-butane, n-butane, and trace amount of olefins to determine the RON of LPG using the well-documented bracketing method accepted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). A mathematical model for variation of LPG research octane number with the volumetric ratios of consisting gaseous fuels was also developed.

Experimental investigation on research octane number of liquefied petroleum gas
Keçecioğlu, Ömer Tuğberk; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
This research presents an experimental study of the Research Octane Numbers (RON) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) using a modified Cooperative Fuel Research Engine which can run with gaseous high-octane fuels. A comprehensive set of RON data for the LPG compositions that contain propane, n-butane, iso-butane and trace amount of olefins are presented. In order to determine RON of the various samples, the bracketing method that is defined for liquid fuels by the American Society for Testing and Materials (AS...
Gaseous and particulate emissions of a micro gas turbine fuelled by straight vegetable oil-kerosene blends
Chiariello, F.; Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Reale, F.; Massoli, P. (2014-07-01)
The paper reports the experimental results concerning emissions from 30 kWe commercial micro gas turbine feed with blends of straight vegetable oil with fossil fuel. Both gaseous and particulate emissions were measured at full and partial load for blends 10% v/v and 20% v/v of rapeseed and sunflower oils with JET A1 kerosene. The variations of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide emissions were taken into account to evaluate the combustor behavior at different loads and blends. The effects of the fuel compositi...
Analysis of the Black Sea gas hydrates
Merey, Şükrü; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2017)
In this study, it was estimated that 71.8 standard tcm of methane can be available in the Black Sea gas hydrates. However, only 13.6 tcm of this amount was calculated as energy sources. With HydrateResSim simulator, gas production potentials from a hypothetical Class 1 hydrate in the Black Sea conditions by depressurization and depressurization with wellbore heating were simulated. Wellbore heating might be necessary to avoid hydrate reformation along the wellbore during production. For comparison with the ...
Experimental investigation of use of canola oil as a diesel fuel
Özdemir, Ali; Bayka, Ahmet Demir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
In this study, canola oil has been selected for the test on a diesel engine and its suitability as an alternative fuel has been examined. To decrease the high viscosity of canola oil, the effect of temperature on viscosity has been researched. Then the fuel delivery system has been modified to heat canola oil before injecting the oil into the combustion chamber. Also, ethanol has been tested as an additive by blending with canola oil. An experimental setup has been installed according to standards to carry ...
Wash-coat development for Lean-burn Engine-exhaust Aftertreatment: A Novel Way of Incorporation of Binder to Pd Supported on Sulfated Zirconia
Çelik, Gökhan; Gunduz, Seval; Miller, Jeffrey T.; Tao, Franklin Feng; Edmiston, Paul L.; Ozkan, Umit S. (null; 2016-11-14)
As the environmental regulations are getting more stringent, it is of great importance to develop a catalytic aftertreatment system for natural gas-fired lean-burn engines to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons (CH4, C2H6, and C3H8) and carbon monoxide efficiently. We have developed a dual-catalyst aftertreatment system which utilizes the hydrocarbons present in the exhaust streams of lean-burn engines for reducing NOxemissions. The dual-catalyst aftertreatment system is a p...
