Abstract
Internal combustion engines are quite widely used today. Much work is being done to reduce the environmental damage of internal combustion engines, reduce fuel consumption and improve engine performance values. Despite quite a lot of work done to date, it is known that due to the increase in the number of gasoline engines, their environmental damage is excessive. In this study, the effect of 2-Propanol use on emission characteristics was investigated. 2-Propanol (%5, %10, and %15 by volume) mixed with gasoline fuel, tests were conducted with a direct injection engine. Tests were conducted under full load conditions. Compared to the gasoline reference fuel and the blended fuels prepared with different percentages, it was observed that the CO and HC emission values decreased, and the CO2, O2, and NO emission values increased as a result of the use of 2-Propanol.
Highlights
One of the most critical problems of today is environmental pollution
Engine speed and 2-Propanol (%) ratios were determined as input parameters and emission values as output param
Nine tests were performed for every three levels of input parameters, and these tests were compared with 100% gasoline
Summary
One of the most critical problems of today is environmental pollution. One of the primary sources of environmental pollution is the use of fossil fuels [1]. Fossil fuels are primarily used in internal combustion engines. Using biomass fuels instead of fossil fuels in these engines may reduce environmental pollution [2]. For engines that use gasoline as fuel, alcohol is considered a good biomass fuel. Alcohols obtained by biochemical processes have an alternative fuel potential with an excess oxygen content, renewable, and cleaner-burning [3]. Alcohols with a lower molecular weight than gasoline can significantly improve engine emissions when mixed with gasoline
