Addition of renewable alcs. to diesel is being investigated extensively to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of this study was to examine the suitability of such renewable alcs. In this study, emissions and performance characteristics of alc./diesel blends were evaluated for a four stroke single cylinder diesel engine test rig. n-octanol and nbutanol were the alcs. considered. Experiments were conducted at different loads up to 4 kW and for alc. contents from 10% to 40% by volume The results indicated that the alc./diesel blends exhibited similar performance characteristics to that possessed by diesel. A slight drop in brake power was observed in all the blends compared to pure diesel. The brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption increased in all alc. blends at almost all the loads considered in the study. The emission anal. was also conducted using the AVL DI Test. The results revealed that CO and NO emissions decreased compared to pure diesel. However, HC emissions increased for n-butanol blends but they decreased in case of n-octanol blends. Results are a clear indication that these blends have an excellent potential and detailed investigations in real life conditions can lead to com. usage.
