| Abstract: | This paper reports performance evaluation of four-stroke, single cylinder spark ignition (SI) engine with methanol
blended gasoline (20% methanol, 80% gasoline, by vol) having copper coated engine [copper (thickness, 300 ΒΌ) coated on
piston crown and inner side of cylinder head] provided with catalytic converter with sponge iron as catalyst and compared
with conventional SI engine with gasoline operation. Brake thermal efficiency increased with methanol blended gasoline
with both engine types. Copper-coated engine showed improved performance than conventional engine with both test
fuels. Catalytic converter with air injection significantly reduced pollutants with both test fuels on both engine types. |
