POWER AND PROPULSION
• Determine the purpose and mode of action of performance additives • List the important processes in motor fuel • Communicate effectively with others working with motor fuels • Have a working knowledge of motor fuel composition, properties, and performance — a necessity for engine designers, and fuel and additive formulators. Who Should Attend This course is intended for engine design engineers who need a basic understanding of the fundamental performance properties of motor fuels and additives. The course is also intended for formulators who need to understand the relationships of fuel performance and composition to properly design fuels and additives to meet current and future needs. Engine testing personnel; petroleum company employees; Federal, State, and Local Regulatory personnel, laboratory supervisors; and fuel marketing personnel would also benefit. Prerequisites Participants should have an undergraduate engineering degree. Topical Outline DAY ONE • Introduction and History of Motor Fuels • Overview of Motor Gasoline −− Gasoline composition, chemistry, production, blending −− Spark ignition engine and effect of fuel quality on performance −− Gasoline volatility and combustion −− Influence of composition on storage stability and engine deposit formation −− Diesel composition, chemistry, production, blending −− Diesel engine and effect of fuel quality on performance −− Fuel characteristics influencing combustion and emissions −− Low temperature and other fuel characteristics −− Fuel additives DAY THREE • Alternative Fuels, Future Trends, and Directions • Diesel Specifications • Gaseous Fuels for Engines −− Natural gas combustion, performance, and emissions DAY TWO • Oxygenated Blend Components and Emissions • Gasoline Specifications • Overview of Diesel Fuel
DAY TWO • Global Lubricant Specifications −− Classification of motor oil by performance category −− API service categories −− Development of a new diesel engine oil category: PC10 −− Motor oil classifications- API doughnut −− ACEA European oil specifications for gasoline and diesel engines • Extended Service Intervals (ESI) −− Maintenance intervals and engine life −− Effect on lubricant formulations • Fuel Economy −− Diesel vs. gasoline engines test procedures −− Lubricant role in friction reduction • Global Trends in Emission Specifications and Exhaust Control Systems −− Gasoline engines −− Diesel engines −− Fuel quality concerns • Examples of Lubricant Interactions with Exhaust Systems −− Three-way catalysts −− Diesel particulate filters Motor Fuel: Technology, Performance, Testing, and Specifications 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# 98003 Fuel composition has had to change with the advent of more stringent emission regulations. Reformulated gasoline (RFG), for example, is vastly different from gasoline of even ten years ago. Tightening regulations on diesel emissions will dramatically change both diesel fuel and engine design. This three-day seminar will review the fundamentals of motor fuels, combustion and motor power generation. The primary content of the course provides a basic introduction to the technology, performance, evaluation, and specifications of current gasoline, diesel, and turbine fuels. The first day of the course begins with a brief review of the evolution of motor fuel through 100 years of performance and specification. Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Describe how fuel compositional variables affect engine performance • Interpret test data to determine if fuel meets required specifications and regulations Instructor: Fee: $1495 Ewa Bardasz 1.3 CEUs URL: sae.org/learn/content/c0704/
−− LPG combustion, performance, and emissions −− Alternative fuels, future trends, and directions • Racing Fuels −− General considerations −− Hydrocarbon fuels −− Alcohol fuels
