Energy, exergy, exergoeconomic and sustainability analysis of a propane-fueled SI engine operating via flame jet ignition using oxy-hydrogen gas from an on-board alkaline electrolyzer supported by TEG
Key Points
Enhanced energy efficiency observed in the propane-fueled SI engine, with significant improvements in sustainability metrics.
The study finds the exergy analysis indicates a 25% increase in performance over conventional systems operated on standard fuels.
Combining flame jet ignition and oxy-hydrogen gas from an alkaline electrolyzer leads to lower emissions and improved engine reliability.
Highlighting the potential for exergoeconomic approaches to optimize resource use and cost-effectiveness in engine technologies.
