Advance Combustion Technology-Low Emission Scooter
Background:
As global carbon emissions from fossil fuel increase every year¹, there is an ever growing demand for renewable energy and a means for low-emission transportation. This project is centered on measuring the emissions from a Yamaha Vino 50cc scooter when using alternative fuels with the overarching goal to develop a low-emission scooter.
Goal and Objectives:
1.Develop a test bed consisting of the Vino 50cc Scooter and a Mustang Dynamometer that measures:
●Air intake and exhaust gas temperature
●Forward speed and engine torque
●Exhaust composition and fuel consumption
●Air/Fuel Ratio and head temperature
2. Modify system to measure emission data from alternative fuels such as bioethanol
