Experimental study on electrical power generation from a 1-kW engine using simulated biogas fuel

This chapter presents a simulated biogas with mixture of 60 methane (CH4) and 40 carbon dioxide (CO2) as a fuel for small 1 kW spark-ignition engine (SI). The simulated biogas fuel was tested on SI engine, and the engine performance was investigated at the constant engine speed under load transients...
