摘要: Abstract In this study, biomass-based EL (ethyl levulinate) was evaluated as an additional fuel to biodiesel and diesel. Physical chemical properties, including intersolubility, cold flow spray evaporation, oxidation stability, anti-corrosive property, cleanliness, fire reliability heating value of twelve different EL–biodiesel–diesel blends were analyzed. The results show that the in line with China's national standard for blend (B5) have similar physical properties pure diesel improved properties. Optimized based on grey relational analysis analytic hierarchy process selected evaluate engine performance emissions using unmodified test bench. power torque general those (less than 3% differences). Both brake specific energy consumption lower diesel, suggesting higher conversion efficiencies blends. HC (Hydrocarbon) CO (carbon monoxide) smoke opacity reduced significantly compared while NOx (nitrogen oxides) CO2 dioxide) increased. Our study suggests produced from lignocellulosic biomass could be used a blending component use engines potentially promising environment-friendly fuel.
