Abstract
This research resulted from military interest in finding methods to provide distributed electricity generation in order to support comprehensive state defence measures. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a heated air-fuel mixture on the combustion process of a spark ignition (SI) engine, and to highlight the maximum temperatures to be applied to air-fuel mixtures with different fuel fractions in order to avoid any detonation of the fuel mixture in the engine. Tests were carried out with a petrol engine generator (GENSET) so that an investigation could be conducted into the effect of the air-fuel mixture on the engine’s combustion. It turned out that heating the air-fuel mixture permits the use of heavier fraction fuels than engine petrol in SI engines does, including diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel, and also that the use of heavy fraction fuels in SI engines is effective mainly under low and middle loads.
Highlights
According to NATO’s own principle, in the event of a military attack its member states must first ensure their own defence capabilities
When comparing with and without a heat exchangers (HEX), it can be seen that the use of a HEX prolongs the FDP and postpones the onset of energy release in the engine petrol (EP) and Jet fuel combustion process
High viscosity prevents the efficient carburisation of the fuel, and a lean air-fuel mixture (AFM) prevents the ignition of the AFM in the cylinder because the AFM does not contain enough evaporated fuel
Summary
According to NATO’s own principle, in the event of a military attack its member states must first ensure their own defence capabilities. This requires to fight with limited resources until comprehensive joint operations can be launched. A military invasion is preceded by a gradual escalation into military action, forcing the country to use resources in advance. If those resources have been used prior to the commencement of battle operations and Host Nation Support (HNS) does not have military control of most of the country's territory, Article 5 response will not be launched. The resources for mobile electricity production, independent of wind and the sun, cover engine petrol (EP) generators (GENSET) which can be requisitioned from warehouses, shops, and homes
