Performance and exhaust emissions of a spark ignition engine using G-Series and E20 fuels
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In this research paper, performance and exhaust emissions of a spark ignition (SI) engine (XU7JP/L3) is presented. A gasoline-ethanol blend (E20) and G-Series fuel, of GS1 and GS2, which is a mixture of gasoline, ethanol, biodiesel and diesel, is used. The tests results revealed that the power and torque of XU7JP/L3 engine decreases (not significantly) 6.5% and 1.2% for the mixtures of fossil fuel and biofuel blends respectively. In these circumstances, the rate of fuel consumption increases by 36%. The tests results also show that the rate of both UHC and CO faces 8% and 47% reduction but CO2 emission is increased. As a conclusion, it is found that the XU7JP/L3 engine performance is most suitable when it runs on E20 (80% gasoline + 20 % ethanol) and GS1 (10 v% ethanol, 2.5 v% biodiesel, 2.5 v% diesel and 85 v% gasoline).
