Abstract:This study investigates the performance and emissions of a compression ignition engine fueled with blends of ethanol and petroleum diesel with 2-EHN (2 ethylhexyl nitrate) as a cetane improver. Three blends, named E20 (20% ethanol with 80% diesel), E20A (20% ethanol, 0.1% 2-EHN, and 79.9% petroleum diesel), E20B (20% ethanol, 0.2% 2-EHN, and 79.8% petroleum diesel), and petroleum diesel were analyzed for their brake thermal efficiency (BTHE), specific fuel consumption, net heat release rate, indicated thermal … Show more
