Abstract:

 The use of energy resources is increasing day by day. Accordingly, the search for different energy sources continues by researchers all over the world. In particular, the search for alternative energy sources to fossil fuels has increased in recent years. As the production of hybrid vehicles increases, the availability of fuels that can be used in hybrid vehicles is being investigated. For the hybrid vehicles, which are the subject of our study, the effects of the availability of natural gas on internal combustion engines were examined. In the study, numerical analyses were carried out by using AVL Cruise program. In the analyses, the properties of natural gas were compared with the properties of gasoline. The hybrid vehicle subject to the study was selected from the library of the AVL program. A four-cylinder, four-stroke, 1.5 L spark ignition internal combustion engine was selected. An electric motor with 10 kW power, nominal voltage 144 V and maximum current 150 A was applied. According to results of the analyses, it has been observed that gasoline consumes 12.5 less fuel as mass than natural gas at the same driving distance.

 Enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak dünyanın dört bir yanındaki araştırmacılar tarafından farklı enerji kaynakları arayışı devam etmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda fosil yakıtlara alternatif enerji kaynakları arayışı artmıştır. Hibrit araç üretimi arttıkça hibrit araçlarda kullanılabilecek yakıtların bulunabilirliği araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmamızın konusu olan hibrit araçlar için doğal gazın kullanılabilirliğinin içten yanmalı motorlar üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada AVL Cruise programı kullanılarak sayısal analizler yapılmıştır. Analizlerde doğalgazın özellikleri benzinin özellikleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmaya konu olan hibrit araç AVL programının kütüphanesinden seçilmiştir. Dört silindirli, dört zamanlı, 1,5 L buji ateşlemeli içten yanmalı motor seçilmiştir. 10 kW gücünde, nominal voltajı 144 V ve maksimum akımı 150 A olan bir elektrik motoru uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, benzinin aynı sürüş mesafesinde doğalgaza göre kütle olarak 12,5 daha az yakıt tükettiği gözlemlenmiştir.
