Energy, Exergetic and Experimental Analysis in a Motor of Internal Combustion Using as Fuel the Fluids Process of Pyrolysis Assisted by Microwave (Room 401)

This work aims to perform an energy, exergetic and experimental analysis comparing a fossil fuel (diesel) and the effluents of the process of pyrolysis assisted by microwave of eucalyptus citriodora. It was developed in an industrial furnace (UPEC-250). This furnace produced energy beyond what is necessary, thereby enabling the sale of surplus energy. From these results, the modeling of the combustion process in a Scania diesel engine was carried out, varying the equivalence ratio from 0.8 to 1.2 for three situations: using the bio-oil/diesel mixture, compressed natural gas (CNG) and Jet A fuel. Exergetic analysis showed improvement in efficiency in all three situations.
