Crude Oil
  • Found in rock formations that were ocean floors.
  • Organic matter from seas became trapped by
    sediments at ocean floor.
  • Progressing cracking of the molecules and
    elimination of oxygen turned organic matter into
    petroleum.

15
Crude Oil
  • Petroleum is made of 86 carbon and 14 hydrogen.
  • Hydrocarbon molecules are accompanied by dirt,
    water, sulfur and other impurities.
  • Crude oil must be refined to produce suitable
    engine fuels.

19
Distillation Temperatures
  • 30 to 230 C for Gasoline
  • 230 to 370 C for Diesel
  • Most refineries utilize cracking units where
    catalysts at high temperatures and pressures
    crack the larger hydrocarbon molecules into
    smaller ones shifting production towards
    gasoline.
  • Fractionating towers allow smaller molecules to
    condense out at cooler temperatures in the upper
    portion of the tower.

20
Ideal Combustion
  • All of the H in fuel is converted to H20.
  • All of the C in fuel is converted to CO2.
  • Air is 21 O and 79 N by volume.

Definition of the octane number (ON) for gasoline
fuels
For the determination of ignition performance, we
use a so-called comparison fuel, i.e. a two
component fuel consisting of
The octane number is defined as the isooctane
fraction of the comparison fuel.

A fuel can be considered as a finite resource of
chemical potential energy, i.e., energy stored in
the molecular structure of particular compounds
that may be released via complex chemical
reactions.
Some of the basic ideal combustion engineering
characteristics of a fuel include High energy
density (content) High heat of combustion
(release) Good thermal stability (storage) Low
vapor pressure (volatility) Nontoxicity

35
Gasoline Engine Exhaust
  • SI engines are often operated with rich
    air/fuel mixtures to produce more power
    inadequate oxygen supply results in production of
    CO (not all carbon is converted to CO2).
  • Even with lean mixtures, CO is still produced.
    DO NOT OPERATE GASOLINE ENGINES IN CONFINED
    SPACES!!!

36
Diesel Air/Fuel Ratios
  • Stoichiometric air/fuel mixture for CI engines
    14.91.
  • However, most CI engines are operated with a
    leaner air/fuel ration and therefore free oxygen
    is often found in the exhaust.

37
Diesel Engine Exhaust
  • Small quantities of unburned fuel escape in
    gaseous form.
  • At high temperatures N reacts with O to form NO
    and NO2 (together these are known as NOx).
  • Federal government has established limits on CO,
    NOx and unburned hydrocarbon in engine exhaust
    Tier I through IV Regulations.

38
Emission Regulations (EPA)
39
Example 5.1
  • What is the air/fuel ratio and the exhaust
    products when ethanol is used as an engine fuel?

40
Solution
41
General Combustion Equations
  • Equations are cast in a form that includes a
    measure of richness,
  • where f is the richness term.

42
General Combustion Equations
  • The General Combustion Equation is,
  • where x, y and z are the relative number of atoms
    of C, H and O, respectively and U, R, V and W
    are defined in the following relationships.

43
General Combustion Equations
44
General Combustion Equations
  • The actual A/F ratio becomes,

45
General Combustion Equations
  • The theoretical dry exhaust gas concentrations
    (volumetric basis) become,

46
Blended Fuels
  • Blended fuels are common for example blends of
    10 ethanol and 90 gasoline are used to meet
    EPA requirements for oxygenated fuels in regions
    of the country with impaired air quality.

47
Blended Fuels
  • The composite fuel molecule can be estimated
    using,
  • where the p subscript denotes the primary fuel,
    and s the secondary and variable f is the
    faction (decimal form) of either fuel.

48
Blended Fuels
  • The resulting composite fuel molecule becomes,

49
Octane Ratings
  • Octane is a measure of gasolines resistance to
    knock.
  • Knock is the uncontrolled release of energy
    when combustion initiates somewhere other than
    the spark plug.
  • Symptoms of engine knock include an audible
    knocking or pining sound under acceleration.

50
Fig. 5.5 Knock in SI engines.
51
Causes of Engine Knock
  • Knock is caused when the temperature in the
    cylinder reaches the self ignition temperature
    (SIT) of the end gases.
  • The end gases do not readily ignite, rather there
    is an ignition delay caused by pre-flame
    reactions.
  • Engine knock is more prevalent under conditions
    that include
  • Lean air/fuel ratios
  • High compression ratios

52
Methods to Reduce Engine Knock
  • Use wedge shaped combustion chambers to cool end
    gases more readily.
  • Use gasoline with higher octane ratings these
    ratings are associated with gasoline that has few
    straight chain carbons have longer ignition delay
    times.

53
Octane Rating Measurement
  • Procedure developed by the Cooperative Fuels
    Research Committee (CFR).
  • The committee proposed a single cylinder SI
    engine to measure octane the CFR engine has an
    adjustable compression ratio.
  • Engine is driven at a constant speed with an
    electric motor.

54
Octane Rating Measurement
  • Octane ratings are obtained by comparing fuel in
    question to iso-octane (Octane Rating of 100) and
    heptane (Octane Rating of 100).
  • CR is adjusted until knocking is detected with
    fuel being tested.
  • Blends of iso-octane and heptane are tested until
    the same level of knock is obtained.
  • Octane rating is of iso-octane in test blend.

55
Fig. 5.6 CFR Engine
56
Octane Ratings
  • CFR developed initial method (Motor Octane Number
    MON).
  • ASTM developed a new method (Research Octane
    Number RON).
  • RON octane ratings are 8 points low than MON for
    most gasoline.
  • Most retailers report the Anti-Knock Index which
    is an average of MON and RON.
  • Octane ratings of fuel are adjusted for elevation
    lower atmospheric pressure reduces the tendency
    for engine knock to occur.

57
Cetane Ratings and CI Engines
  • Octane rating is not a good way to predict
    knock in CI engines.
  • Combustion in diesel engines consists of a two
    part delay physical and chemical.
  • Physical - the fuel is injected and atomized.
  • Chemical - process proceeds with a pre-flame
    chemical reaction, similar to that of SI engines.

58
Fig. 5.7 Critical Compression Ratios and
Temperatures
59
Combustion Process
  • Pre-Mix Combustion prepared mixture burns
    rapidly after compression ignition.
  • Diffusion Combustion fuel vapor diffuses into
    burn-out zones from one side while oxygen
    diffuses from the other sustaining the combustion
    process.
  • Diffusion process is much slower than the
    pre-mix. Pre-mix generate characteristic diesel
    rattle.

60
Fig. 5.8 Energy release from CI fuels.
61
Altering Knock in CI Engines
  • Ignition delay controls the relative release of
    energy between the two phases of combustion a
    longer delay results in more energy produces in
    the pre-mix phase.
  • Since knock occurs when more energy is released
    at the start of combustion, it follows that
    knock is reduced with short delay periods.

62
Cetane Ratings
  • Cetane rating are an indication of the fuels
    anti-knock resistance for CI engines.
  • Fuels with high cetane ratings are created by
    increasing the proportion of long chain
    molecules, thereby reducing the ignition delay.
  • Fuels with high Octane Rating have low cetane
    ratings!

63
Cetane Ratings
  • CFR cetane rating process is similar to the
    Octane process with a couple of differences
  • Cetane and hyptamethylnonane are the reference
    fuels.
  • Hyptamethylnonane has a cetane rating of 15.

64
Effect of Cetane Rating
  • If cetane rating is too low, the ignition delay
    results in hard starting (combustion after piston
    is moving downward) and characteristic white
    smoke.
  • High cetane ratings start the combustion process
    to soon, and some the fuel is not volatized and
    does not burn.
  • Black smoke in heavily loaded engines is a
    symptom of high cetane ratings.
  • Minimum cetane rating for CI engines is 40
    according to SAE.
  • Commercial fuels seldom exceed 50.
  • Cetane rating should never exceed 60.

  • SAE Society of Automotive Engineers
  • ASTM American Society for the Testing of
    Materials
  • API American Petroleum Institute

67
Specific Gravity
  • A measure of the density of liquid fuels at 15.6
    C as compared with water at the same temperature.
  • API devised the following scale,
  • where SG is the specific gravity.
  • A hydrometer, calibrated in APIo, is used to
    measure the specific gravity.

68
Fig. 5.9 Fuel hydrometer.
69
Heating Value of Fuel
  • Determined using bomb calorimeter.
  • Bomb calorimeter measures low heating value
    void of energy required to evaporate water.
  • High heating value is found by adding the
    latent heat of vaporization of water to low
    heating value.

70
Table 5.4 Properties of selected fuels.
71
Heating Value Estimates for Petroleum Fuels
  • Heating values are estimated from the API
    gravity,
  • where Hg is the gross (high) heating value and Hn
    is the net (low) heating value.

72
Fuel Volatility
  • Volatility refers to the ability of the fuel to
    vaporize at lower temperatures.
  • Reid vapor pressure and distillation curves are
    indicators of fuel volatility.
  • Reid vapor pressure (RVP) is a standardized test
    using bomb calorimeter at 37.1 C pressure is
    measured using a suitable gage.

73
Fuel Volatility
  • Prior to 1990 winter gasoline volatility ranged
    from 60 to 80 kPa.
  • Summer gasoline was 10 to 15 kPa lower to reduce
    the potential for vaporization.
  • Clean Air Act (1990) limits maximum vapor
    pressures to 56 kPa in the large Northern U.S.
    cities and 49 kPa in large Southern U.S. cities.

74
Distillation Tests
  • 100 ml sample is distilled.
  • Fuel temperature is recorded for first condensed
    drop (boiling point), and then at 10 ml intervals
    during the distillation process.
  • T10, T50 and T90 temperatures are important to
    engine characteristics which include easy of
    starting, warm-up, and crankcase dilution and
    fuel economy, respectively.

75
Fig. 5.10 Fuel distillation aparataus.
76
Adjusting Distillation Temperatures
  • Gasoline sold during the winter must be more
    volatile for easy starting in the winter.
  • Gasoline sold for use in high elevations must be
    less volatile to avoid vapor lock in the
    summer.
  • Volatility is adjusted by adding butane and
    lighter hydrocarbons.

77
Adjusting Distillation Temperatures
  • For diesel engines
  • Low T10 values aids cold weather starting.
  • Low T50 values minimize smoke and odor.
  • Low T90 values reduce crankcase dilution and
    improve fuel economy.

78
Fig. 5.11 Distillation curves.
79
Fuel Viscosity
  • Viscosity is a measure of the flow resistance of
    liquid.
  • Fuel viscosity must be high enough to insure good
    lubrication of injection pump mechanisms in CI
    engines.
  • Fuel viscosity must be low enough to insure
    proper atomization at the time of injection.

80
Cloud and Pour Points
  • Cloud point is the temperature at which crystals
    begin to form in the fuel.
  • Pour point is the temperature at which the fuel
    ceases to flow.
  • Cloud point are typically 5 to 8 C higher than
    pour point,
  • Not an issue for gasoline.
  • Values are important for diesel.

81
Fuel Impurities - Sulfur
  • Sulfur oxides can convert to acids which
    corrode engine parts and cause increased wear.
  • Assessed by immersing copper strip in fuel for
    three hours, then comparing corrosion to standard
    strips.

82
Fuel Impurities - Ash
  • Ash small solid particles or water-soluble
    metals found fuels.
  • Defined as un-burned fuel residue left behind.
  • Can cause accelerated wear of close-fitting
    injection system parts.

83
Fuel Impurities Water and Sediment
  • Moisture can condense in fuel storage tanks, or
    seep in from underground leaks.
  • Fuel should be bright and clear, and visibly free
    of water and sediment.

84
Fuel Impurities - Gum
  • Gum can form in gasoline, leaves behind deposits
    on carburetors. Gum is dissolved by gasoline
    more prevalent in gasoline that is made by
    cracking.
  • Antioxidants are now added to both diesel and
    gasoline to extend storage life without gum
    formation.

85
Fuel Additives
  • Until 1970, gasoline contained TEL (tetraethyl
    lead). TEL was used as an octane booster.
  • MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is often
    substituted as an octane booster could be
    phased out/banned by EPA soon.

86
Table 5.5 Gasoline additives
87
Fuel Storage
  • Fuels classified according to flammability
    gasoline is more dangerous with a flash point of
    -40 C.
  • Major concern with regard to environmental
    contamination

Reporting of Viscosity
  • Kinematic viscosity (n) is reported as,
  • where m is absolute (or dynamic) viscosity, and r
    is the fluid mass density.

93
Typical Units
  • Centipoise (cP) was the popular unit of dynamic
    viscosity.
  • Centistoke (cSt) was the popular unit of
    kinematic viscosity.

Motor Oil Service Ratings
  • S- SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR GASOLINE ENGINES
     
  • SH- For 1994 Gasoline Engine Service --
    Classification SH was adopted in 1992 and
    recommended for gasoline engines in passenger
    cars and light trucks starting in 1993 model
    year. This category supercedes the performance
    requirements of API SG specification for
    1989-1992 models, which is now obsolete.
    Applications that call for an API service
    classification SG can use the SH specification. 
    The specification addresses issues with deposit
    control, oxidation, corrosion, rust and wear and
    replaces.
  • SJ- For 1997 Gasoline Engine Service --
    Classification SJ was adopted in 1996 and
    recommended for gasoline engines in passenger
    cars and light trucks starting in 1997 model
    year. Applications specifying API SH can use the
    newer API SJ service classification.  Note that
    where applicable certain letters in the sequence
    will be skipped to prevent confusion with other
    standards. In this case, SI was skipped since
    industrial oils are currently rated according to
    SI classifications. 
  • SL- For 2001 and Newer Gasoline Engine Service-
    Current Spec. -- Recommended for gasoline engines
    in passenger cars and light trucks starting in
    July 2001. SL oils are engineered to provide
    improved high temperature deposit control and
    lower oil consumption. Applications specifying
    API SJ can use the new API SL service
    classification. Note that some SL rated oils may
    also meet the latest ILSAC specification and/or
    qualify as energy conserving. SL is the latest
    specification.

96
Motor Oil Service Ratings
  • C- COMMERCIAL CLASSIFICATIONS FOR DIESEL
    ENGINES
  • CF-For 1994 Off-Road Indirect Injected Diesel
    Engine Service -- API Service Category CF denotes
    service typical of off-road, indirect injected
    diesel engines and other diesel engines that use
    a broad range of fuel types, including those
    using fuel with higher sulfur content (over 0.5
    wt sulfur fuel).  Effective control of piston
    deposits, wear and corrosion of copper-containing
    bearings is essential for these engines, which
    may be naturally aspirated, turbocharged or
    supercharged.  Oils designated for this service
    may also be used when API Service Category CD or
    CE is recommended. CF is a current
    specification. 
  • CF-2- FOR 1994 Severe Duty 2-Stroke Cycle Diesel
    Engine Service -- API Service Category CF-2
    denotes service typical of two-stroke cycle
    engines (such as Detroit Diesel) requiring highly
    effective control over cylinder and ring-face
    scuffing and deposits.  Oils designated for this
    service have been in existence since 1994 and may
    also be used when API Service Category CD-II is
    recommended.  These oils do not necessarily meet
    the requirements of CF or CF-4, unless they pass
    the test and performance requirements for these
    categories. CF-2 is a current specification.
  • CF-4- For 1990 Diesel Engine Service -- Service
    typical of severe duty turbocharged, 4-stroke
    cycle diesel engines, particularly late models
    designed to give lower emissions.  These engines
    are usually found in on-highway, heavy-duty truck
    applications.  API CF-4 oils exceed the
    requirement of CE category oils and can be used
    in place of earlier CC, CD and CE oils. CF-4 oils
    provide for improved control of piston deposits
    and oil consumption. The CF-4 classification
    meets Caterpillars 1k engine requirements, as
    well as earlier Mack Trucks (T-6 T-7) and
    Cummins (NTC-400) multi-cylinder engine test
    criteria. When combined with the appropriate S
    category, they can be used in gasoline and diesel
    powered cars and light trucks as specified by the
    vehicle and/or engine manufacturer. 

97
Motor Oil Service Ratings
  • CG-4- For 1995 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service 
    -- API Service Category CG-4 describes oils for
    use in high speed, four-stroke cycle diesel
    engines used in highway and off-road
    applications, where the fuel sulfur content may
    vary from less than 0.05 by weight to less than
    0.5 by weight.  CG-4 oils provide effective
    control over high temperature piston deposits,
    wear, corrosion, foaming, oxidation stability and
    soot accumulation.  These oils are especially
    effective in engines designed to meet 1994
    exhaust emissions standards and may also be used
    in engines requiring API Service Categories CD,
    CE and CF-4.  Oils designated for this service
    have been in existence since 1995. CG-4 is a
    current specification 
  • CH-4- For 1999 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service
    -- API Service Category CH-4 describes oils for
    use in high speed, four-stroke cycle diesel
    engines used in highway and off-road
    applications.  CH-4 oils provide effective
    control over engine deposits, wear, corrosion,
    oxidation stability and soot accumulation.  These
    oils are especially effective in engines designed
    to meet 1999 emission standards and may also be
    used in engines requiring API Service Category
    CG-4.  Oils designated for this service have been
    in existence since 1999. CH-4 oils are engineered
    for use with diesel fuels ranging in sulfur
    content up to 0.5 weight.  CH-4 is a current
    specification. 
  • CL-4- For 2002 Severe Duty Diesel Engine
    Service -- API Service Category CL-4 describes
    oils for use in those high speed, four-stroke
    cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2004
    exhaust emissions standards and was implemented
    in October 2002.  These oils are engineered for
    all applications where diesel fuel sulfur content
    is up to 0.05 by weight.  These oils are very
    effective at sustaining engine durability where
    EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and other
    exhaust emissions systems are used and provide
    for optimum protection in the areas of corrosive
    wear, low and high temperature stability, soot
    handling properties, piston deposit control,
    valvetrain wear, oxidative thickening and foaming
    and viscosity loss due to shear.  API CL-4 oils
    are superior in performance to those meeting
    API-CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and can be used and will
    effectively lubricate diesel engines specifying
    those API service Classifications.
