Impact of Simulated Biogas Compositions (CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>) on Vibration, Sound Pressure and Performance of a Spark Ignition Engine

Biogas has increasingly been used as an alternative to fossil fuels in the world due to a number of factors, including the availability of raw materials, extensive resources, relatively cheap production and sufficient energy efficiency in internal combustion engines. Tightening environmental and ren...
