Abstract
As the temperature of the air entering the combustion chamber rises, consequently the combustion temperature, resulting in complete combustion of air and fuel in the combustion chamber and a decrease in the performance of the internal combustion engine. It also influences increasing emissions while decreasing engine power and torque. The objective of this study is to describe the impact of water injection on the achievement of internal combustion engines. The torque, power, and Specifics fuel consumption engine reveal the performance. Water injection was used to implement his research on various types of fuel, including RON 90, 92, and E10. According to the findings of his research, engine with water injection applications did not increase engine power (-1.74%), but there was an increase in torque of 1.30% on RON 90 and RON 92 fuel, an increase of 2.38%, while in E10 it reached 4.2% and was achieved at a lower motor rpm rotation than in standard conditions. Furthermore, the SFC of RON 90 fuel increased by 11.9%, RON 92 fuel increased by 18.1%, and E10 fuel increased by 25%.In this study, it could be an option to implement an engine with an E10 scale to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Keywords: Performance- power- specific fuel consumption- torque- water injection.
