Abstract

Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. Mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide will produce methane. Hydromethane is the blending of hydrogen and methane. This project will investigates the process to capturing CO2 from exhaust emission and reuse it for producing hydromethane through conceptual design of CAD design for CO2 trap in hydromethane exhaust system. Literature review on hydrocarbon conversion to CO2 and emission measurement at various locations for optimization was completed. The aim of this project is to design a CO2 trap that can be utilized in hydromethane exhaust system. The design will be presented in CAD drawing. Other than that, investigation regarding the hydrocarbon conversion to CO2 will be conducted. An actual experiment will be perform to measure the emission of CO2 released from the proposed system. Equipments utilized in this project are diesel engine, gas analyser and CO2 trap. CO2 trap will be designed by using CAD drawing software called CATIA. CO2 trap system will contribute to the introduction of a new safe, clean, friendly and green technology solution. Result shows that there is linear relationship between the emission of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption. The longer engine is running, the more value of CO2 had been captured and the lower the value of fuel consumption, which lead to more economical solution to run the engine.
