ALCOHOL AS AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL IN IC ENGINE
As vehicles are increase their is demand of fuel and using of fossil fuels,which emits CFS gases which damages ozone layer and harmful for human. I'm going to explain how we can Use of alternative fuel to reduce pollution and also to save the fossil fuels.Alcohol on combustion emits carbondoixiode and water which is again absorbed by the plants.
Combustion Equipment and Methods
Orsat apparatus, Methods of solid, liquid and gaseous fuel firing, oil burners, fluidized bed combustion
Fuel types
Fossil fuels like coal, crude oil, and natural gas are classified as primary or natural fuels that occur underground. They were formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals. Coal is a solid fossil fuel that was formed from plant matter during the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago. Crude oil is a liquid fossil fuel formed from decayed marine organisms and methane is a gas fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that are being depleted through human usage.
Waste to fuel
Waste to fuel technologies convert waste into energy sources like fuel. Common methods include incineration which burns waste to create steam and generate electricity, though it risks polluting air. Alternative technologies like pyrolysis heat waste in low-oxygen environments to produce synthetic fuels without combustion. Two students developed a pyrolysis process that cracks plastic molecules at high temperatures and pressures using a catalyst to produce crude oil, gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Their process was certified after analysis showed it converted plastic waste into 80% hydrocarbon oil fuel. Waste to fuel technologies address waste and energy issues while some produce cleaner fuels than incineration.

Sonic Soot Blower System
Sonic soot blowing is presented as an effective and low-cost method for cleaning boiler tubes in pulp and paper plants. It operates by sending compressed air and sound waves into boiler tubes to fluidize and remove ash deposits. This allows for continuous cleaning in short cycles, keeping surfaces clean and improving heat absorption. Case studies show sonic soot blowing can reduce unscheduled outages, lower energy consumption, and pay for itself within two years through improved boiler efficiency and performance.
Lean Burn Engine
Lean burn engines operate with an excess of air compared to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, which improves fuel efficiency. They have higher compression ratios that allow for better performance while using fuel more efficiently and producing lower exhaust emissions. Lean burn engines premix air and fuel before combustion to create a more homogeneous mixture, reducing knocking and improving combustion control through constant monitoring and regulation of factors like fuel flow, air-fuel ratio, and ignition timing.

Cng
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is made by compressing natural gas (which is primarily methane) to less than 1% of its volume at atmospheric pressure. CNG has several advantages over gasoline and diesel - it is cheaper, produces less carbon emissions, and is safer since it disperses quickly when released. However, CNG also has some disadvantages, such as requiring a large storage tank and limited refueling station availability compared to gasoline. Overall, CNG is considered an environmentally friendly alternative motor fuel that can help reduce vehicle emissions.

Exhaust gas recirculation
Vehicular traffic is a major contributor to environmental pollution today. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from vehicle exhaust are particularly harmful, as they are constituents of smog and contribute to acid rain and respiratory illnesses. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an effective method to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines by recirculating exhaust gas into the engine cylinders, lowering peak combustion temperatures and reducing available oxygen. This intermixing of exhaust gas with intake air through an EGR valve and cooler system achieves NOx reductions of 5-30% while improving engine efficiency and life.

2. The fire triangle refers to the three components needed for combustion - heat, oxygen, and fuel.
3. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur.

Stratified-charge-engine-ppt
A stratified charge engine provides a rich air-fuel mixture close to the spark plug to promote ignition, while using a lean mixture for the remainder of the cylinder. This allows for higher compression ratios and leaner mixtures than conventional engines, improving fuel efficiency. The overall air-fuel ratio can reach 40:1 to 50:1. While injectors increase costs, fuel efficiency gains are offsetting this. At high loads efficiency matches conventional engines due to a stoichiometric mixture. High variability can disrupt stratified mixture formation and reduce combustion if the rich area is not near the spark.
