Combustion heat release analysis of ethanol or n-butanol diesel fuel blends in heavy-duty DI diesel engine
Dimitrios C. Rakopoulos,Constantine D. Rakopoulos,Roussos G. Papagiannakis,Dimitrios C. Kyritsis +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using blends of diesel fuel with either ethanol in proportions of 5% and 10% or n -butanol in 8% and 16% (by vol.), on the combustion behavior of a fully-instrumented, six-cylinder, turbocharged and after-cooled, heavy duty, direct injection (DI), ‘Mercedes-Benz’ engine installed at the laboratory.

Effects of ethanol-diesel fuel blends on the performance and exhaust emissions of heavy duty DI diesel engine
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation is conducted to evaluate the effects of using blends of ethanol with conventional diesel fuel, with 5% and 10% (by vol.) ethanol, on the performance and exhaust emissions of a fully instrumented, six-cylinder, turbocharged and after-cooled, heavy duty, direct injection (DI), Mercedes-Benz engine, installed at the authors’ laboratory, which is used to power the mini-bus diesel engines of the Athens Urban Transport Organization sub-fleet with a view to using bio-ethanol produced from Greek feedstock.
