Vegetable oils are a potential alternative towards partial or total substitution of diesel fuels. In this study, we used ethanol as the solvent, and a bio fuel enhancer as additive to explore the possible use of higher percentages of biodiesel in an unmodified diesel engine. ...
Without the ability to quickly and easily test blend ratios at the rack, incorrect blends can ultimately cause mechanical engine problems. Ethanol blends up to 10% are common in the US. while some countries have been successfully using higher percentages. ...
The work presented in the paper is an attempt to evaluate the performance characteristics of a hydrogen?ethanol dual fuel combination with different percentage substitutions of hydrogen (i.e. 0-80% with an increment of 20% by volume) at three different compression ratios of 7:1, 9:1 and 11:1 with varying equivalence ratios. In the present study, experimental investigations have ...
An experimental study is conducted to evaluate the effects of using various blends of ethanol with normal diesel fuel, in blend ratios of 5/95, 10/90 and 15/85, on the performance and exhaust emissions of a high-speed, direct injection (DI), Ricardo/Cussons 'Hydra' diesel engine. ...
