Experimental investigation on the performance of single spark ignition and twin spark ignition engine fuelled with ethanol-gasoline blends

Increasing the automobile population and contamination of the atmospheric air is a significant threat to the environment. Harmful emissions from the engine exhaust have considerably increased by manifolds. To bring down the pollution rate modern world demands much cleaner combustion with lesser amou...
