Abstract
Production and utilization of environmentally sustainable fuels instead of conventional fossil fuels in varieties of applications have recently attracted researchers’ attention. Bioethanol and biodiesel are two of these sustainable alternative fuels. A complete replacement of fossil fuels with biofuels is not economically and practically feasible yet. Diesel fuel has very similar fuel characteristics to biodiesel but different fuel characteristics with bioethanol. Also, bioethanol and diesel fuel are not soluble and cannot be mixed in high proportion. Biodiesel can be used as a co-solvent in bioethanol and diesel fuel blends. Lubricity and cetane number of diesel - bioethanol blend, which decreases with an increase in bioethanol, can be compensated by adding some proportion of biodiesel to the bioethanol-diesel fuel blend. Gaps and areas for improvements on previous research work regarding the performance and emission analysis of diesel engines fueled with ternary fuel blends are reviewed in this paper. The review includes both experimental and computational investigations and the emphasis was given to the research works done in Australia. This paper presents an overview of the performance and emissions investigation on a diesel engine fueled with diesel, biodiesel, and bioethanol fuels.
