Effect of Alumina coating on Performance and Emission characteristics of a Single Cylinder Spark Ignition engine with Ethanol-Gasoline blends.

摘要

ABSTRACT The contribution of automotive pollution towards environmental hazards has been increasing to a greater extent and necessary steps are being investigated to develop a greener environment. This experimental investigationfocuses on the effect of alumina ceramic coating on the piston of a single cylinder spark ignition engine, with Ethanol-Gasoline blend as fuel. 0.1 mm of alumina was deposited by thermal detonation spraying on the piston crown to enhance the engine efficiency. The perfor.
