The effect of fuel formulation on the exhaust emissions of spark ignition engines

[摘要] The research described in this dissertation examined the effects that fuel formulation can have on the regulatedexhaust emissions produced by spark ignition engines in a South African context. Typical South African enginetechnology, and fuels representative of available fuels were investigated. To broaden the scope and provideinformation on as many fuel parameters as possible, fuel formulations other than typical retail fuels were alsoinvestigated. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms taking place, combustion analysis was performed onmeasured cylinder pressure traces
