ESTIMATION OF IGNITION QUALITY OF POTENTIAL DIESEL ENGINE ALTERNATIVE FUELS
OCJENJIVANJE KARAKTERISTIKA TESKO ZAPALJIVIH ALTERNATIVNIH GORIVA PRI PRIMJENI U DIZELOVOM MOTORU
The article analyzes the ignition properties as regards diesel ignition and combustion. It is concluded that the cetane number experimentally determined, has proved itself unsatisfactory for most net alternative fuels and their blends with diesel fuels or additives. An analysis is presented of the ignition delay estimation of some selected fuels with extremely poor ignition quality. By establishing a correlation between the experimental results, obtained by different authors and under different ignition and operating conditions in diesel engines, a set of equations, based on the Arhenius reaction of kinetic law is derived. They include also other factors influencing alternative fuel ignition. The results are discussed and a macro analysis and conclusions on alternative fuel diesel ignition properties are presented.
