Summary:

Dual fuel operating strategy offers great opportunity to reduceemissions like particulate matter and NOx from compression ignitionengine and use of clearer fuels like natural gas. Dual-fuel engineshave number of potential advantages like fuel flexibility, loweremissions, higher compression ratio, better efficiency and easyconversion of existing diesel engines without major hardwaremodifications. In view of energy depletion and environmentalpollution, dual-fuel technology has caught attention ofresearchers. It is an ecological and efficient combustiontechnology.This paper summarizes a review of recent research on dual-fueltechnology and future scope of research. Paper also throws light onpresent limitations and drawbacks of dual-fuel engines and proposedmethods to overcome these drawbacks. A parametric study ofdifferent engine-operating variables affecting performance ofdiesel-CNG dual-fuel engines vis-à-vis base diesel operation isalso summarized here. Chemical kinetic and CFD simulation ofdual-fuel diesel-CNG engine combustion has been carried out basedon available literature data.Thereafter, experimental results of effect of gas supplementratio (fraction of natural gas in total fuel, on mass basis) onemission and performance characteristics of a six-cylinderheavy-duty compression ignition engine have been discussed with anaim of understanding the engine behavior under dual-fuel operatingmode
