Abstract

Conventional energy sources, including diesel and petrol, are decreasing day by day, while their reserves are limited. However, it is difficult to find alternative fuels to replace them. Hence, to fulfill the growing energy demand and reduce environmental emissions, it is vital to find a wide variety of oxygenated compounds to conventional diesel fuels that show low emission potential from transport engines. In this research, we investigated diesel engine performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions with the addition of 10 %, 15 %, 25 %, and 30 % of three different oxygenated blends, including Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl ether (DGM), Di-n-Butyl Ether (DBE), and Tripropylene-Glycol Monomethyl ether (TPGM). This paper presents the brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), and Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC) for these fuel blends. The generated emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NO) were quantified for four different engine speeds of 1500, 1800, 2000, and 2400 rpm for neat (100 %) oxygenated blends. This research also shows the in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate (HRR) of these three oxygenated blends. The outcome of this paper will help future researchers to develop automobiles and vehicles for oxygenated blends with conventional fuels.
