CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the
combustion chamber. It is also known as compression-ignition engine. This is different with spark-ignition engines such as petrol engine and gas engine which use
a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. Diesel engine is manufacture in two-stroke and four-stroke. This type of engine usually used in submarines, locomotives, trucks,
ships, automotives, agricultures and heavy duty industry.
Mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, CO
2
will produce methane. Hydromethane is the blending of hydrogen and methane. The uses of this blending
with small percentage of hydrogen mixed to compressed natural gas will increase the efficiency of internal combustion. It also reduces CO
2
emissions due to the lower carbon content and decrease fuel consumption. This blending is more clean. Other
process that relates is methanation. Methanation is the reaction by which carbon oxides and hydrogen are converted to methane and water. Purposes of methanation
are to remove traces of carbon oxides and to manufacture methane.
This project will investigates the process to capturing CO
2
from exhaust emission and reuse it for producing hydromethane through conceptual design of
CAD for CO
2
trap in hydromethane exhaust system. Literature review on hydrocarbon conversion to CO
2
and emission measurement at various locations for optimisation will be perform.
At the end of this project, CO
2
capture will produce effective system that can be use in the future. Hopefully, it can be implement especially in industries.
