Analysis of combustion characteristics, engine performances and emissions of long-chain alcohol-diesel fuel blends

Petroleum-based fuels have been one of the most in demand energy source for various purposes and application. However, rigorous emissions from petroleum-based fuels have forced many governments to introduce stringent regulations and concerns over energy security. Alternative fuel such as short-chain...

TJ Mechanical engineering and machinery Petroleum-based fuels have been one of the most in demand energy source for various purposes and application. However, rigorous emissions from petroleum-based fuels have forced many governments to introduce stringent regulations and concerns over energy security. Alternative fuel such as short-chain alcohol (methanol and ethanol) had been used as an oxygenated element to increase oxygen content in diesel fuel (DF). However, short-chain alcohol-diesel blends have disadvantages such as low cetane number, low heating value, increase of hydrocarbons (HC) and low miscibility with DF. Recently, researchers have shown interest on long-chain alcohols which have better physicochemical properties than short-chain alcohol. In this experiment, 5%, 10% and 20% of 2-ethyl 1-hexanol (2-EH) was added into DF to produce long-chain alcohol-diesel fuel blends.
