Abstract:The present study assesses the effects of ethyl octanoate and ethyl oleate on the gasoline lubricity. Samples of gasoline fuel were prepared with different amounts of esters (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) and then evaluated. The lubricity tests were carried out using a High Frequency Reciprocating Test Rig (HFRR) equipment. The Wear Scar Diameter (WSD) values decreased as ester proportions increased in the samples. The percentage of lubricant film presented values above 85% for formulations with 10% and 15% este… Show more
“…Oxygenated compounds such as ethyl octanoate and ethyl oleate added to gasoline showed good fuel properties [12], as well as a promising prospect of improving the lubricity of gasoline, which influences the reduction of friction and wear of the engine [13]. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the hourly consumption and brake specific fuel consumption of formulations con-S.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of blends of different oxygenated additives on gasoline in SI engine Otto cycle. The formulations analyzed were: pure gasoline (type A), common gasoline (type C), gasoline type A + 15% (v/v) oxygenated additives (ethanol, ethyl octanoate, ethyl oleate). The experiments were performed using engine Branco 4-stroke and 2-cylinder, electric dynamometer, exhaust system, control unit composed of Multi-K unit, variable selector and load cell, stroboscope tachometer, fuel supply system and stopwatch. The rotation was conserved at 4400 rpm and wheel power varied from 3 kW to 12 kW, with intervals of 3 kW to obtain hourly consumption curves and brake specific fuel consumption. Even esters and ethanol having lower heat of combustion, hourly consumption was similar to pure gasoline (type A). In relation to the brake specific fuel consumption, increasing the wheel power had a better conversion of the mass of fuel burned into energy. Thus, this study showed that the mixture of gasoline and esters (ethyl octanoate and ethyl oleate) presented good efficiency in terms of consumption. This research contributes to the needs and to the current studies in which industries started to add renewable products to petroleumderived fuels; in order to obtain more sustainable fuels at lower costs.

“…Generally, the use of heterogeneous catalysts reduces the cost of biodiesel production, because of the ability of the reuse of the solid catalyst and minimize the cost of the separation steps of the products (Scragg, 2009). Esterification of OA with ethanol in the presence of catalytic acids has attracted a lot of attention, since the product EO can be used as a biodiesel (Gómez-Castro et al, 2016), solvents for the pharmaceutical industry, in the lipid modification (Bornscheuer, 2018), processing of Omega-3 oils (Hernandez 2011), and moreover, EO can serve as lubricant or plasticizer (Mod et al, 1977;Oliveira et al, 2010;Sena et. al, 2019).…”
The production of ethyl oleate, by homogenous acid esterification of oleic acid with ethanol, have discussed experimentally and via computational simulation in a plug flow reactor. An innovative simulation model has developed to predict the esterification reaction performance in an ideal plug flow reactor. The amount of H 2 SO 4 acid catalyst, the initial molar ratio of alcohol to oleic acid, ethanol concentration, reaction temperature, and esterification time have examined their effects on ethyl oleate production and the conversion of oleic acid. Then the simulation extended to examine the esterification reaction kinetics and determine the reaction rate coefficients. The simulation results demonstrate that the increasing of H 2 SO 4 acid, initial molar ratio of ethanol to oleic acid, ethanol concentration, and reaction temperature improved the productivity of the ethyl oleate and reduced the reactor space-time. The kinetics results illustrated that the reaction sensitivity to the temperature unchanging by using higher ethanol concentration and alcohol to oleic acid initial ratio. Lastly, the experimental yields at different conditions were slightly higher from those simulating with average values of 93.62 and 92.29%, respectively, indicating that the phenomenon of back-mixing cannot be ignored in esterification reactors, especially with a relatively high retention time within the reactor.
