“…The most important drawbacks are metallic corrosion that occurs in the engine cylinder and the deterioration of non-metallic parts in the fuel system There are numerous investigations carried out on spark ignition and compression ignition engines to predict engine performance and exhaust emissions by using alcohol fuels (methanol and ethanol) blended with gasoline and /or diesel fuels (Lingaitis and Pukalskas 2008;Butkus et al 2007;Mickūnaitis el al. 2007;Labeckas et al 2006;Raslavičius and Markšaitis 2007;Hsieh et al 2002;Bilgin et al 2002;Al-Hasan 2003;Satgé de Caro et al 2001;Abu-Quadais et al 2000;Gautam et al 2000;Choi and Reitz 1999;Ajav et al 1998 and1999 etc.). A limited number of studies have been previously undertaken to evaluate the suitability of iso-butanol as an alternative fuel for spark ignition engines (Andziulis 2006;Alasfour 1997;Popuri and Bata 1993;Rice et al 1991;Bata et al 1989a and1989b).…”

abstract. The effect of iso-butanol addition to diesel fuel on engine performance parameters has been experimentally investigated. The used engine was a single cylinder four stroke CI engine Type Lister 1-8. The tests were performed at engine speed that ranges from 375 to 625 with an increment of 42 rpm at different loads and with 10, 20, 30 and 40% v/v iso-butanol-diesel fuel blends. The overall engine performance parameters measured included air-fuel ratio (AFR), exhaust gas temperature, brake power (B p ), brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) and brake thermal efficiency (η th ). The experimental results show that AFR, exhaust gas temperature, (B p ) and (η bth ) decreased and bsfc increased with iso-butanol addition compared to net diesel fuel. Also, the obtained results indicate that the engine performance parameters when using up to 30% iso-butanol in fuel blends are better than that of 40%.

“…At all speeds, the volumetric efficiency of F 2 0 higher than diesel thereby that lead to explain the increase in fuel consumption. Furthermore, the latent heat of evaporation of alcohol based fuels is higher than diesel that permits lower manifold temperatures and higher volumetric efficiency [10], [11]. The heating value of fusel oil results in raised fuel consumption but the thermal efficiency is not affected significantly.…”

Abstract-In order to reduce the dependency on fossil oil energy resources, the using of several energy resources in compression-ignition engine has been the target of attention of researchers. The major renewable alternative combustible species are methanol, biogas, ethanol, biodiesel, and hydrogen. Fusel oil is a by-product of bioethanol production during the fermentation process present one of the new alternative fuels for compression-ignition engine. The aim of this work is to experimentally investigate the effect of fusel oil -diesel blending on performance and emission in single cylinder compression ignition engines. The test achieved under 25 % engine load at five-engine speed 1200 to 2400 rpm with intervals of 300 rpm. The experimental results revealed that the engine indicted power and torque slightly decrease for F 2 0 compared with pure diesel, and the increment was happened in fuel consumption. Although diesel fuel yields, the highest volumetric efficiency and exhaust temperature. Moreover, the results showed CO 2 and CO were increased while the NOx emissions decrease with the use F 2 0. All the negative effects that happened in power and torque was because of the water content, low heating value, low cetane number for fusel oil.Index Terms-Fusel oil, NOx emissions, single cylinder engine, alternative fuels, engine performance.I.

“…In order to implement the objectives of research task the comparative analysis were made with two different manufacturer's bioethanol fuels (E85 Sample 1., E85 Sample 2.) and their blends in the engine testing brake [3].Our aims were under the landfill gas test to examine the quality and quantity parameters of landfill gas changes with regard to the average temperature interval, relative humidity, wind speed interval, precipitation and the change in the organic matter content of the waste disposed. The external characteristics of the refuse dump and its environment were relevant such as weather data between which I looked for connections by mathematical statistical methods.…”

Renewables excluding large hydro accounted for 48% of new GW capacity added worldwide in 2014, so the renewable energies increased to 15.2% of world cumulative generation capacity, from 13.8% in 2013. In the EU the new version of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) distributes the 10% cal. biofuels target into a share for crop-based biofuel (limited at 7% cal.) with the rest to be met with another biofuels and renewable electricity containing multiple counting possibilities. [2,3] For ethanol fuel, more growth could theoretically arrive from an extending of E-10 in EU member states. Unnecessary to discuss that an outlook for a post-2020 biofuels target at the EU level does not valid. [1,5] In our country and world-wide the amount of waste is growing rapidly due to economic development. It is true that the amount of selectively collected waste is also increasing and also the quantities of secondary materials as recycled materials quantities -so they can get back into the manufacturing processhowever it is an important task to dispose of the waste at an up-to-date and environmentally friendly location. The theoretical and practical phenomenon confirms that processing the generated waste by modern European Union-compliant technology systems can be used as alternative energy instead of fossil energy sources to produce electricity and heat.Keywords renewable energies, blending ratio, bioethanol fuel demand, landfill gas, municipal solid waste IntroductionThe research fields at our Technical Institute, on the Engineering Faculty, of the University of Szeged are as follows: the development of the combustion characteristics of the bioethanol propellant and the change, brought on by the utilization ratio, in operating factors, also the garbage lot's extraction of landfill gas and its energetic utilization. During the extraction of the landfill gas, due to change in the methane content values, which influence the energetic utilization, we examined the landfil gas values and later on we plan to use it in our experimental engine.For this project two different manufacturer's bioethanol fuels were assessed with regard to their combustion behaviours by unchanged settings. In order to implement the objectives of research task the comparative analysis were made with two different manufacturer's bioethanol fuels (E85 Sample 1., E85 Sample 2.) and their blends in the engine testing brake [3].Our aims were under the landfill gas test to examine the quality and quantity parameters of landfill gas changes with regard to the average temperature interval, relative humidity, wind speed interval, precipitation and the change in the organic matter content of the waste disposed. The external characteristics of the refuse dump and its environment were relevant such as weather data between which I looked for connections by mathematical statistical methods.The connections between the examinations of the bioethanol and landfill gas are the following: 1.Possible practical applications of energetic utilization, from the perspective of t...
