| Abstract: | This study presents effects of diethyl ether and
ethanol as additives to biodiesel (neem oil methyl ester) on the performance
and emission characteristics of a diesel engine at
different loads and constant engine speed. Compared with biodiesel, slightly
lower brake specific energy consumption for diethyl
ether and ethanol blended biodiesel fuels was observed. At higher engine
loads, CO and smoke emissions were found significantly
lower with all blends [BD-1 (5% diethyl ether, 95% biodiesel), BD-2
(10% diethyl ether, 90% biodiesel), BE-1 (5% ethanol,
95% biodiesel) and BE-2 (10% ethanol, 90% biodiesel)] compared to
biodiesel, but HC and NOx emissions were
found higher. |
