Abstract:Higher production cost of anhydrous ethanol associated with distillation and dehydration process could be reduced through the direct use of wet/hydrous ethanol in engine applications. In this study, both experimental investigation and numerical analysis were carried out to quantify the effect of water content on laser ignition characteristics of premixed charge of wet ethanol with different water concentration and over a range of equivalence ratios. Combustion of wet ethanol was initiated through laser-induced… Show more
