Woody biomass was liquefied by water in an autoclave in the reaction temperature range of 280-420℃with sodium carbonate as the catalyst. The experimental results show that the yield of the main liquefaction product (heavy oil) was significantly influenced by the process conditions. The maximum yield of heavy oil was obtained at reaction temperature 380℃. The heavy oils obtained at different reaction temperature were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The analytical results show the heavy oil is complex compound that contain hydrocarbon, aldehyde, ketone, hydroxybenzene and ester.

在电控汽油机参数未作任何调整的情况下，实验研究了汽油机燃用乙醇汽油对发动机经济性和动力性的影响。研究表明：电控汽油机改燃乙醇汽油后，部分负荷时汽油机的功率和转矩有所降低，但全负荷时汽油机的动力输出不变；与普通汽油相比，乙醇汽油的燃油消耗率增加5%-10%，而且汽油机的经济区范围变窄；但能耗率会有所改善，在怠速工况下，乙醇汽油会降低汽油机的CO、HC和NO2排放；乙醇汽油对汽油机性能的影响与空燃比控制策略有关。

Liquefied alternative fuels offer great potential benefits in reducing exhaust emissions and improving fuel economy of automotive engines. In order to achieve the best performance of the engine running with such fuels, it is critical to have an appropriate fuel system. In the present work, a new electronically controlled common-rail injection system has been specially designed and tested for the direct injection of liquefied alternative fuels, since a conventional pump-line-injector injection system in the conventional diesel engine was not suitable for the purpose. Experimental work has been carried out to examine and improve matching of the fuel injection system on a new fuel injection pump test bench. The preliminary engine bench test has demonstrated that this arrangement meets the requirement for the operating characteristics of a fuel injection system in a direct injection diesel engine operating with dimethyl ether (DME).

Alternative fuel engines have widely been developed in the world due to the decrease of oil resources and the strictness of exhaust regulation. This paper introduces the main processes of designing the diesel engine fuelled with coal-bed gas and ignited by spark plug, and analyzes a number of problems considered in processes of designing the engine. As an example, the characteristics of a coal-bed gas engine converted from a S195 diesel engine are introduced, and the performances of the prototype engine are discussed based on the results of engine testing. And some significant conclusions were got.

There is a worldwide interest in the research of various alternative fuels for automotive engines for the purpose of reduction of CO2 and toxically harmful exhaust emissions. Coal-bed gas, the main component of which is methane, has been considered an attractive alternative fuel for combustion engines due to its abundant resources, high hydrogen-carbon ratios and very low soot formation tendency. The composition of available coal-bed gas, however, can vary considerably, and this has made its combustion stability difficult to control in conventional spark ignition engines. To overcome the problem, a combustion system with a swirl chamber connected to the main combustion chamber through an orifice has been developed for the use of coal-bed gas in spark ignition engines, and the corresponding combustion process has been studied using a developed combustion model involving flame kernel formation and flame front propagation. The combustion model includes two sub-models with the first dealing with the calculation of turbulence intensity history, and the second modeling a jet flow through the orifice of the swirl chamber. Emissions of NOX, HC and CO have been predicted using the combustion model based on an extended Zeldovich mechanism, wall quenching and incomplete oxidation simulations. The effects of various components in coal-bed gas on the engine combustion process and emissions are also investigated. Validation of the combustion model has been performed through comparing simulation data with the experimental result obtained from a relevant single cylinder research engine, and a satisfactory agreement between them has been achieved in terms of combustion parameters and exhaust emissions.
