Alternative (Hybrid) fuels for highway transportation. Final technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5229189
This volume consists of tabulations of results of engine experiments performed on seventy-one hybrid fuel formulations developed for the Alternative (Hybrid) Fuels for Highway Transportation Program. The data were divided into three separate tables. Table A contains all of the engine performance data which were based on the brake horsepower measurements. Table B is a listing of the engine performance data which were based on the indicated horsepower measurements. In both cases the data include the run number, the fuel description and the corresponding load, speed, injection timing, specific fuel consumption, specific energy consumption, and where applicable, the relative energy consumption. Table C is a listing of the available emissions data presented in grams per indicated horsepower-hour. The emissions data include CO, CO/sub 2/, NO/sub x/, and unburned hydrocarbon emissions as well as the corresponding load and equivalence ratio. The fuel descriptions include the name of the hybrid component as well as an indication of the concentration of the component in the particular fuel formulation. All of the slurries were formulated based on the mass percentages of the various components while the solutions and emulsions were based on volumetric concentrations. The solutions are described in terms of a concentration and the component name.
