Abstract

Development in the field of alternative fuel is essential from the last decade in order to create the green environment and to solve the concern over the fossil fuels. Biofuels like alcohols and biodiesel are proposed as oxygenated additives for Internal Combustion Engines to control the emission and as better alternative for fossil fuel. In this work alcohol is blended with diesel and an attempt is made to increase the efficiency of the diesel engine and to reduce the emissions. For the above Methanol and Propanol are used for the study. They are blended separately with diesel at the Concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20% & 25%. Performance and emission characteristics are obtained experimentally in four stroke diesel engine. The results were compared to select the better oxygenated additive having the benefits such as reduction in emission, increase in efficiency of engine and low fuel consumption.
