Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the impact of water ammonia solution (WAS)-gasoline fuel (GF) blends on SI engine exhaust emission and engine performance characteristics and compare the obtained results with those using base gasoline. This investigation used a single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled, and SI engine coupled with an AC generator to achieve this experimental work. Water ammonia solution fuel was blended with neat gasoline in volume rates of 5, 10,15,20, and 25%. The experimental investigation was conducted at an off-road engine under a constant engine speed of 3000 rpm and different load conditions. The results show that the use of ammonia solution as an addition to gasoline fuel increase the overall thermal efficiency, and G75Was25 blend obtained the maximum increase ratio of overall efficiency by 38.96% at maximum load condition in comparison to neat gasoline and reduce the specific fuel consumption compared with that of gasoline fuel. This alteration results in an elevation in CO, HC, and NOx emissions.
