Coal burning adiabatic diesel engine
The concept of coal burning diesel engine has been pursued in the present investigation in an adiabtaic engine configuration with fumigation of the fine coal powder to the intake air manifold. Experimental results show excellent combustion characteristics of the coal powder with indicated thermal efficiency of coal fueled engine better than for the diesel fueled engine. The auto-ignition of the coal powder was achieved at higher operating temperatures without any external ignition sources. In addition to very fast burning and rapid heat release rates for the coal fueled engine, problems of wear and lubricating oil contamination were observed in the present work. 9 references, 9 figures, 3 tables.
