Experimental research on ethyl acetate as novel oxygenated fuel in the spark-ignition (SI) engine

Abdulvahap Cakmak et al.

Summary: This experimental research investigates the effects of adding ethyl acetate, a new and renewable oxygenated fuel, to gasoline on engine performance and exhaust emissions. The results show that ethyl acetate blends have advantages in reducing CO and HC emissions, but lead to a dramatic increase in NOX emissions and a deterioration in engine performance. Fuel cost analysis also reveals that ethyl acetate blends have higher fuel costs compared to gasoline.

Effects of using ethyl acetate as a surprising additive in SI engine pertaining to an environmental perspective

M. K. Yesilyurt et al.

Summary: The study showed that blending ethyl acetate with gasoline can reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and nitrogen monoxide emissions in a spark-ignition engine. Additionally, the thermal efficiency of the ethyl acetate blend was found to be up to 5% less than gasoline, with even lower differences at lower engine loads. Meanwhile, the exergy efficiency of the ethyl acetate blend was 34.27%, slightly lower than the 37.17% efficiency of gasoline. Despite higher engine power costs, fuel blends with ethyl acetate may be a viable alternative if pump prices are reduced.
