Abstract


This work is based on single cylinder SI engine based generator,which is basically working on Gasoline and LPG in Dual fuel mode.The main purpose of this work is to use Alternative fuel,for reducing the emissions of the generator in dual fuel mode.As the engine is dedicated to Gasoline engine,which is conventional fuel.So power is comparatively increasing in case of gasoline engine,but emissions are more as compared to Alternative fuels.Since alternative fuel is having less number of carbon atoms.so less formation of NOx HC and CO emissions.Our main focus is on emission formation.We are trying to reduce the emissions as per the future emission norms.Although power is comparatively going down in case of alternative fuel,but emission formation are less.So in order to investigate the performance and emissions characteristics we are using AVL boost software for predicting the performance of SI engine and emissions,when using the engine in dual fuel mode.
