Engine Performance, Exhaust Emission And Combustion Analysis Of A 4-Stroke Spark Ignited Engine Using Dual Fuel Injection

The world natural gas reserve is plentiful. Instead of using gasoline to power ground vehicles, usage of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) can improve the environment and reduce energy cost. However, most engines that runs on CNG are converted from gasoline based engine. Hence, the engines are not optimi...
