Experimental Study on a Spark Ignitio Engine Fuelled with Petrol and N-Butanol Blends
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
An Experimental study was carried out on a Twin cylinder, Car-Spark Ignition Engine with MPFI fuel system, then the Engine Runs at the constant speed of 2500rpm for all loads, Fuelled with petrol and n-Butanol blends at different proportions i.e. Bu0, Bu10 , Bu35 and neat n-Butanol (Bu100). All blends are by volume based Proportions. The Engine Performance parameters such as fuel consumption, Brake thermal Efficiency, Emission parameters like CO, CO2, NO emission readings were analyzed and discussed at Full load and partial load for different fuel blends. The Experimental results showed an increased brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, CO and NO Emission levels are reduced for blended fuels when compared with pure petrol at both Full load and partial loads. From the analysis, n-Butanol is found to be a better alternative fuel (or) fuel blend to petrol for Improvement in SI Engine performance and Reduction of polluting Emissions.
