  • Abstract:
  • Now-a-days the world of automotive industry and transportation field is facing a harmful situation in the context of air pollution. Combustion of petroleum fuels in automobile vehicles stand a serious reason for the widespread release of pollutants such as CO, HC, NOx and many other dangerous compounds in the atmosphere, which results in the deterioration of air quality and consequent health hazards, in rural as well as urban areas. The two major issues which face our present-day automobile related field are air pollution and energy economy. To enhance the fuel efficiency of SI engines and thereby reducing harmful emissions, experimental investigations are conducted by powering the fuel by applying an external force of a magnetic field. Accordingly, the aim of the present experiment is a magnetic device for processing the fuel supplied to the engine, which is easy to provide, and which uses a magnetic field configuration to maximizes fuel economy and reduces the exhaust emissions from the automobiles. The experiments prove that the magnetic effect on fuel consumption has reduced up to 14.2% and 21.42% for ring and bar magnet respectively when compared to normal running conditions. Also, a considerable increase in brake thermal efficiency of 20.3% and 26.2% for ring and bar magnets respectively when compared to normal operating conditions. The pollutants such as CO, HC and NOx are decreased with the use of magnetic energization of fuel in both cases of ring and bar magnets. The reduction in CO emission is 16% and 32% for ring and bar magnets respectively. Similarly, the rate of reduction in HC emission is 7.5% and 8% in cases of ring and bar magnets respectively.
