“…The main reason for that is attributed to the low calorific value of the oxygenated fuels. However, dissimilar findings were reported by Agarwal et al [39] and Devarajan et al [15]. They claimed that engine performance increased with the use of oxygenated fuel owing to efficient combustion.…”

Emissions control in internal combustion engines is the big challenge faced by engine manufacturers. Modern internal combustion engines exploit various systems to reduce exhaust emissions. However, the existing emission control systems will fall short of meeting stringent future emission regulations. This study attempts to reduce the exhaust emissions of a diesel engine fuelled with diesel-biodiesel blends by utilising ethyl acetate as a renewable oxygenated fuel additive. In this context, initially, ethyl acetate is mixed with biodiesel-diesel blends by 5% and 10% volume to obtain test fuels. Then, their fuel properties are measured by applying test methods proposed in the standards. Subsequently, engine experiments are conducted on a single-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine operated on distinct test conditions. The findings indicate that the inclusion of ethyl acetate in the diesel-biodiesel blends improves the fuel quality and markedly decreases emissions. A substantial reduction is achieved in NOX, soot, and CO emissions up to 50%, 70%, and 71%, respectively, with a slight increase in fuel consumption in the case of adding ethyl acetate. More importantly, the addition of ethyl acetate enhances the NOX-smoke trade-off and NOX-BSFC trade-off characteristic of a diesel engine without loss of thermal efficiency. From this research, it can be inferred that ethyl acetate can potentially reduce exhaust emissions of the existing diesel engines fuelled with diesel-biodiesel blends.

“…13 However, when researchers investigated the use of diesel-diethyl ether blends or diethyl ether (DEE) as a supplemental fuel, they found that while PM emissions decreased due to reduced carbon content in the fuel, NO x emissions increased due to the higher oxygen content leading to elevated combustion temperatures. 6,19,20,23,24 Based on the ndings reported in previous publications, blending WPO with butanol and DEE resulted in a decrease in BTE and an increase in brake specic fuel consumption (BSFC) primarily due to the lower heating value of butanol and DEE. 4,6 However, the addition of biodiesel to the blended fuel led to an increase in BTE and a decrease in BSFC, likely attributed to the higher heating value and favorable combustion characteristics of the fuel.…”

“…This nding has been consistently documented in various studies. [4][5][6][11][12][13][17][18][19][20] Several studies have specically highlighted the benets of using butanol, an oxygenated fuel with a higher oxygen content than ethanol, in reducing PM emissions when blended with diesel fuel. 21,22 Additionally, the use of biodiesel blends has been found to result in lower PM emissions compared to regular diesel fuel.…”

The relevance of the study is due to the lack of systems in which the proportions of the used fuels in the mixture and the values of the cycle supply are simultaneously controlled depending on the load-speed mode of the diesel engine. The aim of the research is to develop a design for a bi-fuel power supply system for a diesel engine, which allows for the simultaneous regulation of the proportions of the components of a mixture consisting of alternative and diesel fuels, as well as the values of the cyclic supply of this mixture to the diesel cylinders. As a result of the research, an algorithm was calculated for the simultaneous control of the proportions of the components of a mixture consisting of alternative and diesel fuels, as well as the values of the cyclic supply of this mixture to the diesel cylinders. As a result of the operation of the fuel supply system on mixtures of diesel and alternative fuels according to the developed algorithm, it made it possible to achieve the identical operation of a diesel engine on pure diesel fuel at all load-speed modes of diesel operation. Also, in the course of the research carried out, a bi-fuel power supply system for a diesel engine was developed, which makes it possible to simultaneously regulate the amount (cycle supply) and the composition of a mixture consisting of diesel and alternative fuel supplied to the diesel cylinders, depending on the speed and load modes of operation.
