Feasibility of diesel–biodiesel–ethanol/bioethanol blend as existing CI engine fuel: An assessment of properties, material compatibility, safety and combustion

摘要: Abstract The global fossil fuel crisis and emission problems lead to investigations on alternative fuels. In this quest, a successful finding is the partial substitution of diesel with ethanol/bioethanol rather than completely replacing it. These blends can be used in existing CI engines without any major modifications most significant result using blend lower almost same performance as alone. Two drawbacks are low miscibility temperature instability produced blend. However, biodiesel successfully added prevent phase separation diesel–ethanol/bioethanol Thus, becomes stable even at temperatures more amount them. It found that maximum 25% 5% effectively. Adding alters properties blend, which does not meet some standards. Biodiesel addition helps regaining standard values thus efficiently engines. From review, it said that, use diesel–biodiesel–ethanol/bioethanol minimize by approximately 25–30%.
