Abstract
The article presents a method for determining the quality of spraying a mixture of oil and synthetic fuels obtained from the pro-cessing of polymer materials. Laboratory tests of physical parameters of such a mixture were carried out, which made it possible to determine the limit values for the volume fraction of synthetic fuels. The method of determining the suitability of this type of fuel takes into account the criterion numbers Re and Oh, which include physical parameters such as viscosity, density, and surface tension. The experimental part concerning the distribution of droplets of injected fuel and determination of Sauter Mean Diameter using laser diffrac-tion confirmed the usefulness of the developed method for the assessment of the possibility of using a mixture of petroleum-based and synthetic fuels in self-ignition engines.
Highlights
The national environmental policy and international commitments of Poland should ensure sustainable development and usage of resources that would meet the needs of present and future generations
Atomization process may be presented qualitatively by applying the mean diameter (SMD) parameter of the droplet determined by equations containing primarily the physical parameters of the fuel, which are the components of criterion equations, − The relation of the Oh and Re numbers in the Ohnesorge diagram specifies the jet break-up surface areas where one refers to the atomization
The location of the coordinates of this point in the area of atomization indicates the suitability of the fuel. − The laboratory tests have shown that almost every physical parameter of both the mixture of synthetic fuel and petroleum-based oils and 100% synthetic fuel meet the standards for fuels for self-ignition engines
Summary
The national environmental policy and international commitments of Poland should ensure sustainable development and usage of resources that would meet the needs of present and future generations. It should be emphasized that, according to the Directive 2014/94/EU of 22nd October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, “alternative fuels” means fuels or power sources which serve, at least partly, as a substitute for fossil oil sources in the energy supply to transport and which have the potential to contribute to its decarbonization and enhance the environmental performance of the transport sector. They include, inter alia electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, synthetic and paraffinic fuels, natural gas [6].
