Theoretical and experimental Investigation of performance and Emission characteristics of aquanol In a single cylinder four stroke Diesel engine

Abstract

Ethanol is a bio based renewable and oxygenated fuel with a newlinepromising potential to reduce the particulate emission in diesel engine and to newlinereduce the life cycle of CO2 with reduction in ozone depletion There are newlineseveral studies which report improvement in the engine performance and newlineemission by using ethanol blend fuels This motivates us to use aquanol as newlinesole fuel in diesel engine Even lot of researches completed in the area of ethanol as alternate newlinefuel, the commercialization of this fuel is not achieved in the Indian newlineautomobile scenario It is mainly because of installing the refilling stations newlineand the problems encountered in the engine while ethanol is used as a fuel newlineThe main problems associated with the aquanol usage in engines include the newlinealdehyde emission and the corrosion of engine components newlineThis work aims to overcome these problems and recommend the newlinepossible solutions In India large amount of ethanol is produced from the newlinesugar cane by fermentation process newline newline
