Assessment of the Effect of Diesel Fuel and Natural Gas Blend on the Diesel Locomotive Intra-Cylinder Parameters

Abstract

The article presents a computational and experimental evaluation of the effect of blended fuel on the indicator values and heat release characteristics of a diesel locomotive converted to operate according to the gas and diesel cycle. The novelty of this research is the implementation of the method of natural gas supply into the diesel fuel on the low-pressure line with the use of a mixing device.
