Abstract

Alcohols are a unit gaining attention everywhere in the world has an alternate to gasolene. Among alcoholic alternative combustible fuels such as Biogas, Hydrogen, Methanol, Biodiesel and Ethanol, Ethanol is the best-listed alternative renewable and neat fuel for Spark Ignition (SI) engines as blends in various fractions boosts the oxygen content, leads to promising minimum emissions as compared to non-blended fossil fuels. Non-oxygenated gasoline-ethanol blends were prepared, with 5% to 35 % ethanol to boost the Octane rating. Iso-octane is also added in to the blends as an additive (3% to 5%). The results from the engine test for the prepared blends at constant loading conditions are analyzed and optimized by RSM and DoE. It was found that at E30 blend with 5% Iso-octane additive found minimum BSFC and higher BTE. The emission characteristics like CO, CO2, HC, and NO2 are quite low for the given maximum constant loading conditions (9kg) with setted Compression Ratio (9) and at rated speed. The perceptions produced using the test that E30 blends and 5% of additive Iso-Octane have come about better engine performance' and least 'emitants' when contrasted with other tested blends.
