Investigation of Emission & Combustion Characteristics of a C. I. Engine Fueled with Ethanol as an Alternative Fuel

Abstract

This paper studies the emission and combustion characteristics of traditional fuel source at a high rate and expanding natural contamination has roused broad research in elective fuel and in motor plan. This task is an endeavor towards finding the impact of exchange energizes (especially ethanol) as a substitute over diesel in diesel motors to decrease diesel utilization. Along these lines ethanol, which can be fabricated normally additionally, is brought into the diesel motor with the reason to supplant some measure of diesel (customary fuel) while playing out a similar measure of work. The impact of expansion of ethanol into air consumption complex i.e. ethanol fumigation and diesel ethanol mixes on the emanations and the execution of a diesel motor (single chamber) are tentatively explored and looked at. Additionally assurance of an ideal level of ethanol which gives better execution and lower emanations was endeavored. Examinations were done in a solitary barrel, four strokes, and direct infusion Kirloskar diesel motor. The test fuel utilized was Ethanol mixed with diesel. The mixing was done in volume rates of ethanol and diesel. It was reasoned that E20D80 is the best mixing proportion and it demonstrated the best outcomes [1]. Analysis is carried out by accumulating and computing the data and output readings. Automated system is used for examination.
