Current Dual-Fuel™ Technology Dual-Fuel™ is fitted onto a standard diesel engine‚ which operates unchanged‚ except power is generated by mostly clean natural gas. A measured quantity of natural gas is mixed with the air just before it enters the cylinder and compressed to the same levels as the diesel engine to maintain efficiency. The natural gas mixture does not ignite spontaneously under compression‚ so the Dual-Fuel™ engine uses a small injection of diesel fuel‚ around 10% of the total energy of

Chapter 11 Internal Combustion Engines 11.1 Introduction Internal combustion engines differ from external combustion engines in that the energy released from the burning of fuel occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate combustion chamber. Examples of external combustion engines are gas and steam turbines. The gas turbine power plant utilizes products of combustion from a separate combustor as the working fluid. These gases are used to drive the gas turbine and produce useful power. The

The invention of the internal combustion engine is most probably the result of the developments of several individuals. Around 1780‚ Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens built an engine that used gunpowder as a fuel‚ but this engine was far too dangerous to be practical. His assistant‚ Denis Papin‚ also experimented with developing an internal combustion engine‚ building a simple steam-powered device around 1790. Again‚ this engine was not practical‚ and not until the early nineteenth century did the

Internal Combustion Engines An internal-combustion engine is a heat engine that burns fuel and air inside a combustion chamber located within the engine proper. Simply stated‚ a heat engine is an engine that converts heat energy to mechanical energy. The internal- combustion engine should be distinguished from the external- combustion engine‚ for example‚ the steam engine and the Stirling engine‚ which burns fuel outside the prime mover‚ that is‚ the device that actually produces mechanical
