Abstract

This project was carried out to study the effect of air fuel ratio on the performance of an engine fueled with an additive of hydrogen peroxide blend with gasoline fuel. This project starts by finding the chemical properties of gasoline alone and hydrogen peroxide-gasoline blend in order to identify the different properties of additive fuel compared to gasoline alone. Experiments on the performance of the spark ignition engine ware carried out by using generator engine Precision GX420. Firstly, the spark ignition engine performance was tested starting with the gasoline alone and then followed by the addition of 5% and 10% of hydrogen peroxide blended with the gasoline. Pressure sensor and crank sensor had been installed on the engine set up in order to determine the in-cylinder pressure, volume and crank angle. Pressure sensor and crank sensor were connected to Data Acquisition System (DAS) which will display the result through DEWESOFTX2 software. The result was calculated using raw data that has been obtained from DEWESOFTX2 software and several parameters of engine performance such as indicated network, air fuel ratio and indicated specific fuel consumption. At the end of this project, it can be concluded that the use of hydrogen peroxide for gasoline engine must not exceed 10% in order to avoid lag during the combustion process.
