“…The objective of this experimental analysis is to research combustion, emission and performance parameters of n-butanol blends at various compression ratios. The primary objective of choosing n-butanol as test fuel is because of its oxygen percentage to improve its combustion efficiency [14], low-pressure evaporation, its better heating value and cetane number and also its availability as a renewable fuel.…”

This research work indicates the analysis conducted to investigate the performance, exhaust emission and combustion characteristics of a VCR diesel engine fuelled with nbutanol blends at a rated speed of 1500 rpm with 300 bar injection pressure at compression ratios of 16, 18 and 20. The test fuel was prepared by adding n-butanol 10% (NB10) and 20% (NB20) to diesel by volume. The combustion characteristics investigated were; rise in-cylinder pressures, net heat release rate, cumulative heat release rate and mass fraction of fuel burned at all loads using three compression ratios. The emission and performance study also conducted. The higher heat release rates, increased cylinder pressures were observed for both the blends compared to diesel. Increased brake thermal efficiency observed at higher compression ratio for NB20 blend. It had also been observed that the emissions of CO2, HC and NOx were increased for both the blends, while CO emissions decreased in trend with an increase in compression ratio and blend strength.
