DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF A FUEL-EFFICIENT INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Abstract

In today’s day and age, where there is a scarcity of fossil fuels, increase in pollution, and global warming, fuel efficient vehicles have become a need of the hour. Fuel efficiency also brings along a cleaner and greener environment. Unfortunately, fuel efficiency is a concept rarely employed in Pakistan's automotive industry. All of the Motorbikes currently manufactured in Pakistan incorporate a carburetor as a mechanism for fuel delivery instead of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) which has proven to be more fuel efficient than carburetor. Our goal is to design an engine based solely on the principle of fuel efficiency, an engine which can be easily manufactured and incorporated in currently used motorbikes. The engine would incorporate Atkinson cycle as the basic heat engine cycle. Fuel injection to engine would be done electronically through an EFI kit. The engine will introduce Atkinson Cycle and Electronic Fuel Injection in Motorbike industry of Pakistan. All in all, this project aims to promote and support less fossil fuel consumption to achieve a greener future.
