ABSTRACT The current work was lugged out with the object of proliferating performance of engine by condensing pollutants with utilization of varying the fuel blend fusions of CNG & Acetylene at rated IOP 200 bar and CR 17.5. Experimental tests were lugged out at specified speed of 1500 rpm and the injection timing was set to a worth of 23 o BTDC. The fusion of CNG was used with diesel at 8 lpm of CNG and also the fusion of CNG & Acetylene enriched was used with changing
outputs were assayed and features of emissions are demonstrated. From the results of the experimentation, it was observed that the BTE decreased at small loads and increased over the pilot fuel operation at heavy load condition, more over efficiency tends to increase with increase in gas discharge at higher loads. It was also observed that the CO, HC and NOx contents were decreasing upon addition of acetylene to CNG. KEYWORDS: IC Engine, CNG, Acetylene, Combustion, Performance & Emissions

1. INTRODUCTION The Industrial coup and increased population in the last two generations have concluded in depletion of fossil fuels and environmental degeneracy. It is obvious that novel solutions must be found to meet the fuel demand and environmental demands. Particularly, the surrogate fuels could be proposed as a solution for the future in the field of IC engine. Promising surrogate fuels for IC engine are natural gas, LPG, H2, acetylene, alcohol & cooking oils. Amongst these biofuels, there remained a considerable energy in the world to increase and produce these fuels to replace conservative fuels. CNG is supposed to be a good alternate to transportation vehicles since0it has proper combustion features & plenteous reserves. CNG is achromic, odourless, non-toxic & inflammable. In addition to that, CNG has clearly substantial assets related to gasoline & pilot fuel. These comprise lesser fuel price, cleaner exhaust and its scope. As an effect, CNG fuel is a clean, economical and has been in usage globally to power vehicles. There are over 1,500,0000 vehicles in the world that are running on CNG. CNG has the highest hydrogen to carbon ratio among HC fuels, so it can emit low CO2 when combusted in IC engines. The adoption of CNG gas also reduces CO and NMHC emissions. In India, CNG as a fuel for internal combustions in transport sector has been successfully employed in large cities and has shown considerable cutback in environment pollutants. The characteristics over the working on the conventional pilot fueled and CNG engine system emerge from the physical & chemical properties of the two fuels. At room temperature, petroleum fuels are liquid and CNG is in a gaseous www.tjprc.org
