“…4b are presented the combustion phases of test engine. Because ethanol has a lower cetane number and higher heat of vaporization requirements than diesel, ethanol blended fuels also decrease overall cetane number and increase ignition delay [26,27]. It can be stated that with the increase in EF fraction the ignition delay increased.…”

Abstract. In the study are presented the results of co-combustion of biodiesel B100 with ethanol fuel as blend. The 1-cylinder direct injection compression ignition engine was used during the study. Tests were conducted at a constant angle of fuel injection and constant rotational speed equal to 1500 rpm. Results of thermal cycle parameters and emission characteristics are presented. On the basis of results stated that ethanol fuel fraction in blend causes the increase in peak heat release rate. With the increase in ethanol fuel fraction the ignition delay increased but combustion duration decreased. With the increase in ethanol fuel fraction in blend thermal efficiency increased as well. It also noticed almost constant emission of THC, the increase in NOx emissions and decrease emissions in CO and CO2.

“…At last, they concluded that ethanol-diesel-biodiesel is reasonable other option to diminish NOx and smoke outflows in premixed lower temperature condition. Yilmaz et al [12] researched the outflow of biodiesel-diesel-ethanol (BDE3, BDE5, BDE15, and BDE25) mixes in a diesel motor at diverse motor load condition. The test comes about show that discharges firmly rely upon motor working conditions and biofuel focus in the mix.…”

Abstract:The growing human population and rapid industrialization have caused an increase in the demand for energy around the world. The rapid depletion of fossil fuels and overdependence on petroleum based fuels have made it inevitable for the search for alternative fuels. The fossil fuels are also causing huge damage to the environment and it cannot be denied that vehicles are the main source of it. Pollutants emissions from the vehicle have disturbed the ecological system. The best alternative currently is the biofuels which have the ability to reduce engine emissions. The main focus area of this review is to discuss the important role biofuels can play to reduce the greenhouse gases in the environment and their effects on I.C. engines. Biofuels have the potential to reduce greenhouse gases by 80%. So, they are viable alternatives to be used for vehicles.

“…However, the use of ethanoldiesel blends, usually named as e-diesel, has also some limitations. It has a lower viscosity and lower lubrication property, reduced ignition ability and Cetane number, higher volatility and lower miscibility that may lead to increased unburned hydrocarbons emissions [8][9][10][11][12]. It was observed that engine performance with methyl ester and ethanol blends had similar to that with diesel.…”

Abstract-Biodiesel is consider as a potential alternative fuel for compression ignition engines. These are obtained from various resources. However, the usage of biodiesel blend in high percentages in compression ignition may cause some technical problems because of their higher viscosity, high pour point, and low volatility. Ethanol can be used as a fuel extender to enable the use of the higher percentage of biodiesel in CI engine. Blends of ethanol-animal fat oil biodiesel-diesel were prepared and experimental studies have been carried out. We have found that B40E20 fuel blend (40% biodiesel and 20 % ethanol in diesel) reduces the specific fuel consumption and improves brake thermal efficiency of the engine compared to B40 fuel blend. We observed that fuel characteristics improved considerably with the addition of ethanol to biodiesel. Emissions of CO, HC and smoke reduced while CO 2 emissions were increased due to more complete combustion of the blend.
