The use of ethanol/gasoline blends on gasoline engines is not only a potential solution for satisfying the fuel demand but also for reducing emissions from vehicles which cause environmental pollution and adverse health effect. In Vietnam, the blend with 5% of ethanol (E5) has been widely used. However, blends with higher than 5% of ethanol should be studied and applied in order to improve the ability to substitute for gasoline. This paper presents the experimental results of in-use carbureted and fuel injected passenger cars fueled by gasoline RON92, E10, E15 and E20. These cars were tested at the steady state as well as following the ECE15+EUDC driving cycle. Results indicated the different influence of these ethanol/gasoline blends on power, fuel consumption and emissions of the cars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
