Energy Characteristics of Ethanol-Diesel Mix for Automotive Use

Abstract

This research work investigates the power output obtained from This research work investigates the power output obtained from This research work investigates the power output obtained from This research work investigates the power output obtained from ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol-diesel mix from a diesel engine. A 1% to diesel mix from a diesel engine. A 1% to diesel mix from a diesel engine. A 1% to diesel mix from a diesel engine. A 1% to 5% by volume of 99.6% ethanol was mixed with diesel fuel. A 500ml of each mix was used to power a 9.545kW 5% by volume of 99.6% ethanol was mixed with diesel fuel. A 500ml of each mix was used to power a 9.545kW 5% by volume of 99.6% ethanol was mixed with diesel fuel. A 500ml of each mix was used to power a 9.545kW 5% by volume of 99.6% ethanol was mixed with diesel fuel. A 500ml of each mix was used to power a 9.545kW diesel engine and the engine speed, torque, power and specific fuel consumption (sfc) were determine diesel engine and the engine speed, torque, power and specific fuel consumption (sfc) were determine diesel engine and the engine speed, torque, power and specific fuel consumption (sfc) were determine diesel engine and the engine speed, torque, power and specific fuel consumption (sfc) were determined. d. d. d. Performance test indicates a 4.2% drop in power output at a 5% ethanol addition to diesel and an increase in Performance test indicates a 4.2% drop in power output at a 5% ethanol addition to diesel and an increase in Performance test indicates a 4.2% drop in power output at a 5% ethanol addition to diesel and an increase in Performance test indicates a 4.2% drop in power output at a 5% ethanol addition to diesel and an increase in specific fuel consumption by 1.2%. Five volumetric dilution were made resulting in the following trend: flash point specific fuel consumption by 1.2%. Five volumetric dilution were made resulting in the following trend: flash point specific fuel consumption by 1.2%. Five volumetric dilution were made resulting in the following trend: flash point specific fuel consumption by 1.2%. Five volumetric dilution were made resulting in the following trend: flash point

Prediction of Flash-Point Temperature of Alcohol/Biodiesel/Diesel Fuel Blends

“…FP data for alcohol/biodiesel/diesel fuel blends were not found in literature. In general, FP results measured in this work show good agreement with those from literature, with the exception of those reported in ref 76, where ethanol could have undergone unexpected evaporation. Differences in FP of biodiesel fuels are consistent with their composition except in the case of values obtained with artificial neural networks.…”

Characterization of Bioethanol Fuel from Rice and Corn Straws: A Comparative Study

“…Renewable energy based fuels, such as biofuel from biomass sources, have attracted a lot of attention of both researchers and government institutions as alternative fuel energy sources because they are biodegradable and produce less environmental pollution than the fossil based sources [1][2][3][4][5]. Moreover, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly expensive and their reserves are continuously being depleted [6].…”
