Experimental study of carbide as an alternative fuel using in Internal Combustion Engine

Authors(3) :-Prof. Ganesh. M, Jagadeesan. S, Bharathwaj. S

The emerging world need alternative fuel for diesel and petrol. This is the experiment that using the carbide as the alternative fuel for internal combustion engine by converting the carbide as the acetylene using water. The brake thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature, smoke emission, CO2 emission, NOx emission, hydrocarbon emission, performance of the engine is studied under this Experiment
