| description | Effects of fuel oxygenate on the diesel engine performance and exhaust emission were
investigated by running the compression ignition engine with methanol diesel fuel blend.
Investigation has been done on the effects of the increase of oxygen content in diesel fuel
to engine performance and exhaust emission. In this fmal year project, four blends of
methanol diesel fuel blend are prepared with 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% oxygen content
respectively. Engine performance experiment has been conducted by using single
cylinder, direct injection and water cooled diesel engine. While the exhaust emission test
is done by using the flue gas analyser. The results of using methanol diesel fuel blend
show that there were increases of brake specific fuel consumption for about 5.74% to
18.75%. Effectiveness of methanol diesel fuel blend in the Carbon Monoxide, CO
emissions reduction where the CO emissions are reduced in the range of3.96% to 15.82%.
Oxides of nitrogen, NOx increase with the increasing amount of oxygen in the methanol
diesel fuel blend. The NOx formation has increased by 8.33% - 23.37% when using
methanol diesel fuel blend with 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% oxygen content. For the Fourier
Transform Infrared Ray (FTIR) analysis shows the addition of methanol into diesel fuel
only adds the O-H bonds into the diesel fuel. The addition of methanol will not cause any
chemical reaction and produce other products. It was concluded that, methanol is an
effective fuel oxygenates for diesel fuel for improving engine performance and exhaust
emission. |
