Abstract | Increasing energy demands and more stringent legislation relating to pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) from mineral fuels used in diesel engines have encouraged the use of biodiesel. Biodiesel fuels produced from non-edible oils have properties comparable to diesel fuel, which make them promising alternative fuels. However, there are some drawbacks associated with biodiesel as fuel for compression-ignition (CI) engines such as high viscosity and higher NOx emissions. Using an alcohol butanol-acetone (BA) or acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) mixture is one solution to improve blend efficiency and also to lower NOx emissions. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of a BA or ABE mixture blended with cottonseed biodiesel on spray characteristics, engine performance (in-cylinder pressure, brake power (BP) and specific fuel consumption (SFC)) and emission levels (NOx and carbon monoxide (CO)). The results demonstrated that BA and ABE decreased biodiesel viscosity and resulted in improved spray characteristics. BP was reduced while SFC was increased. The peak in-cylinder pressure was comparable at a lower engine speed while being slightly lower at 2000 rpm. The maximum reduction in NOx and CO was shown to be from 10BA90Bd by 13.84% and 41.5% respectively at 2000 rpm. |
