“…In the article [1], the authors investigated thermal barrier coatings as magnesium partially stabilized zirconium with ethanol and butanol as gasoline blends. From the experimentation, the author concluded that the engine performance parameters of SFC are 1.8 % minimized at B20 for Mg-PSZ, brake thermal efficiencies is 4.5 % maximized at B20 for Mg-PSZ, emission characteristics of HC are minimized by 2.4 % at E20, and CO is minimized by 3.7 % at E20 for Mg-PSZ coated piston is compared with the normal piston of gasoline, and gasoline blends at different concentrations.…”

An increase in fuel utilization to internal combustion engines, variation in gasoline price, reduction of the fossil fuels and natural resources, needs less carbon content in fuel to find an alternative fuel. This paper presents a comparative study of various gasoline blends in a single-cylinder two-stroke SI engine. The present experimental investigation with gasoline blends of butanol and propanol and magnesium partially stabilized zirconium (Mg-PSZ) as thermal barrier coating on piston crown of 100 µm. The samples of gasoline blends were blended with petrol in 1:4 ratios: 20 % of butanol and 80 % of gasoline; 20 % of propanol and 80 % of gasoline. In this work, the following engine characteristics of brake thermal efficiency (BTH), specific fuel consumption (SFC), HC, and CO emissions were measured for both coated and non-coated pistons. Experiments have shown that the thermal efficiency is increased by 2.2 % at P20. The specific fuel consumption is minimized by 2.2 % at P20. Exhaust emissions are minimized by 2.0 % of HC and 2.4 % of CO at B20. The results strongly indicate that the combination of thermal barrier coatings and gasoline blends can improve engine performance and reduce exhaust emissions.
