Abstract

The article talks about the idea behind this project to pre-heat the intake air that passes through the carburettor to increase a petrol engine’s fuel efficiency. The vaporization of petrol in the carburettor is influenced by the humidity of the surrounding air. Therefore, vaporization can be facilitated, and full combustion can be accomplished by preheating the carburettor’s incoming air for a significant amount of time. Additionally, by lowering the amount of water vapour entering the engine, steam generation can be decreased, which will lessen engine cylinder, piston, and exhaust pipe pitting. By installing a heat exchanger inside the exhaust pipe, the engine’s inlet air can be pre-heated. The exhaust gas calorimeter is a heat exchanger that reduces exhaust gas dispersion and increases the rate of heat transfer. To obtain somewhat better outcomes, this study identifies and links a reduction in the quantity of heat produced by emissions to the current model. Several calorimeters have been designed and tested with analytical software. To outperform the current one, compare the two. The improved calorimeter has been manufactured following design modifications. It shows that both the overall heat transfer rate and the rate per unit area are higher than the present rate.

Keywords: Air Preheater, Engine Efficiency, water vapor, HCCI engine, fuel efficiency
