Performance and Emission Characteristics of Supercharged Biomass Producer Gas-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine

The performance and emission characteristics of supercharged producer gas-diesel dual fuel engine has been investigated and evaluated. In this study, producer gas generated from gasifier and intake air were injected separately and mixed at the engine’s intake manifold. Experiments were carried out a...
