Abstract
Alcohols have high octane rating and contain oxygen as compare to gasoline. Due to which the knocking tendency reduces which leads in the reduction of some exhaust emission such as CO (carbon monoxide). Amongst all alcohols, ethyl alcohol exhibits good burning characteristics due to which it is going to be use as additive in the spark ignition engines around the world. In this study, ethyl alcohol, an oxygenated fuel, was considered as a gasoline fuel additive. The experimental analysis of ethyl alcohol blended fuels with various blending rates on engine performance and exhaust emission were investigated using a four cylinder, four stroke spark ignition MPFI engine. The result showed that blending of ethanol with gasoline increase the brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption and reduction in exhaust gas temperature. The carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission in the engine exhaust were found to be lower while the nitrogen oxide emission was high.
Keywords- Ethanol, engine performance, emissions, gasoline, fuel additive.
