Experimental Investigation of Energy Analysis of Methanol-Gasoline Mixtures at Different Torque Values

Abstract

Despite the increasing use of petroleum-based fuel as a result of ever-increasing energy demands, the search for alternative fuels remains important. In this study, in a Lombardini LGW 523 brand 2-cylinder 4-stroke water-cooled engine, different volumetric ratios of methanol and gasoline fuel mixtures (M10, M20, M30, M40) were used at 4 different torque values (5, 10, 15, 20 Nm) at a constant 3000 engine speed. It is discussed. As a result of the study, engine performance, emission and energy analysis examination was carried out experimentally.
