The research described in this dissertation examined the effects that fuel formulation can have on the regulated exhaust emissions produced by spark ignition engines in a South African context. Typical South African engine technology, and fuels representative of available fuels were investigated. To broaden the scope and provide information on as many fuel parameters as possible, fuel formulations other than typical retail fuels were also investigated. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms taking place, combustion analysis was performed on measured cylinder pressure traces Doctoral 2006-11-06T05:49:14Z 2010-06-01T08:18:54Z 2006-11-06T05:49:14Z 2010-06-01T08:18:54Z 2006-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/1335 University of Stellenbosch 782462 bytes 3268026 bytes application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
