An Experimental Study On The Performance And Exhaust Emission Characteristics Of A CI Engine Powered By Alcohol/Biodiesel/Diesel Fuel Blends Containing Different Types Of Alcohol (Isopropanol-C3, 1-Butanol-C4, And Isopentanol-C5)

Abstract

D iesel engines or CI engines have been taken into consideration to be a vital and important power source all over the world for various areas such as transportation (land, air, and sea), agriculture, power generation, industrial activities, and construction engineering sectors because they have high-performance features [1][2][3]. Diesel engines possess also capacity in terms of supplying higher torque, higher power outcome, higher durability and supe-Article History:

Well to Wheel: A life-cycle based analysis of CI engine powered with diesel and various alcohol blends

“…Where 𝑊 𝑅 is the overall uncertainty value of the experimental rig, and 𝑊 𝑛 is the uncertainty values of the independent variables. R and 𝑥 𝑛 show the dependent factor, and independent variables, respectively [41][42][43]. Accordingly, the overall uncertainty value of the experimental results is obtained to be 1.25%.…”

“…Accordingly, a plenty of biofuels as well as other solid particles and gases have been tested in the internal combustion engines, heretofore [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, most of the studies to mitigate the CO 2 emissions from the engines in the literature focuses on the fuel-modification, and based on the first law of thermodynamics, as well as combustion and performance behavior of the engine [40][41][42][43][44][45]. On the other hand, CO 2 emissions arising from the steps of both the fuel processing history from well to wheel and engine-production history are generally ignored by the researchers and producers.…”

“…Accordingly, natural gas liquids (NGL) can be further processed to obtain synthetic fuels. NGL products are valuable in fuel industry [57,58]. Moreover they can be used as alternative fuel especially methanol [59].…”
