Abstract

It is commonly known that CNG reduces emissions and can replace fossil fuels. The project's goal is to increase the compression ratio for the use of natural gas. An engine with dual fuel can accomplish that. The goal of dual fuel research is to lessen the reliance of CI engines on diesel fuel. Diesel is used as a pilot fuel to start the combustion of natural gas, which serves as the main fuel. A review of the literature revealed that the amount of CNG used affected the dual fuel engine's performance and emissions. Therefore, different substitutions are used to improve performance and lower emissions. This study examines the impact of switching to compressed natural gas (CNG) on emissions and performance, comparing it to traditional diesel engines.
