Impact assessment of Ethanol as Fuel for Engine operation

For past decades, excessive extraction of fossil fuels to cater the energy demands of ever rising population and industrial growth has resulted in situation to look for alternative resources of energy. In addition, endless use of petroleum based fuels like diesel have caused in environmental degradation. Different alternative fuels like biodiesel, alcohols fuels (ethanol, butanol, pentanol), hydrogen, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), methane, and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) have caught the attention of researchers around the world due to similar performance and improved emission characteristics compared to fossil diesel. This work dealsabout investigation of physical and chemical properties of ethanol & diesel blends. The focus is around the properties which impact the infusion properties and motor attributes, ethanol and diesel fuel mixes are measured by prerequisites for the diesel fuel. The result shows that 15% ethanol diesel fuel mixes utilizing ethanol as a transportation fuel could display preferable environment execution over ordinary gas in the terms of an Earth-wide temperature boost and fossil fuel utilization. The result also shows that HC and CO emissions are low in case 15% ethanol/diesel blends as compared to diesel. (c) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
