INVESTIGATION ON VEHICLE USING GASOLINE-BIOETHANOL BLENDED FUELS
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The effects of gasoline-bioethanol blended fuels (E50, E85, E100) on vehicle performance (wheel power, fuel consumption) and exhaust emissions (CO, CO2, HC, NOx) of vehicle with spark ignition (SI) engine which is a new generation fuel injection system and electronic ignition system were studied. The tests were performed on a chassis dynamometer while running the vehicle at two different gear (third gear and forth gear), and six different vehicle speeds for both gear. The results obtained from the use of bioethanol–gasoline fuel blends were compared to those of gasoline fuel. The results indicated that when bioethanol–gasoline fuel blends were used, the wheel power decreased and the fuel consumption increased for vehicle performance, and CO, CO2, NOx emissions are decreased, HC emission is increased.
