Abstract
Petroleum products are now current consumption rate it will be depleting in upcoming decades. Ethanol usage is one of the transport sectors can fulfill the requirement and contribute to mitigating the greenhouse gas emissions of the vehicles. In order to expand the SI engine this can work on 100% ethanol or adding ethanol in petrol and use the blends of that. The intention of this work is to study the thermal characteristics of Gasoline and its E5, E10, E15 ethanol blends. All thermograms of heat flow exhibited at a 350C-2800C temperature range at heating rate of 100C/min in atmospheric air as medium. Transport properties like Thermal conductivity, Specific Heat capacity and Thermal diffusivity are studied using TPS500(s). This study concludes that ethanol blending is the lowest exhaust emissions with considerable improvement in the performance of the Spark Ignition (SI) engine and promising, Ethanol as a future fuel which can be fortunately replace petrol and its depletion problem.
