Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine Using Isobutanol–diesel Fuel Blends

Description:
The aim of this study is to investigate the suitability of isobutanol–diesel fuel blends as an alternative fuel for the diesel engine, and experimentally determine their effects on the engine performance and exhaust emissions, namely break power, break specific fuel consumption (BSFC), break thermal efficiency (BTE) and emissions of CO, HC and NOx<.
