Abstract

In this paper, an investigation of the use of gasoline-ethanol-methanol on the spark ignition engine is presented, it is not common practice on public roads to use three fuels simultaneously in a spark-ignition engine. Using methanol reduces the ignition delay during combustion, especially at lean air-fuel ratios, and reduces knocking potential in small amounts. The best result ignition delay with value λ= 1,3 obtained in the E5M15 mixture with SoC occurred at 325 CAo, while the value λ= 1,0 also obtained on the same mixture with SoC occurred at 321,5 CAo. The CCV results indicate a more sloping increase in the COV (coefficient of variation) value when using GEM fuel, particularly with the addition of more methanol. The addition of methanol enhances combustion progression and improves the ability of the fuel blend to sustain combustion under lean conditions. Regarding the torque and power values, at λ= 1,0; 1,1; 1,2 are not significantly different, while the value λ= 1,3 is below the other λ values.

Abstract

The depletion of petroleum reserves as the basic raw material for gasoline production has driven studies into alternative fuels. One of the alternative fuels is alcohol, both ethanol and methanol. Due to their liquid form and physical-chemical properties similar to gasoline, small modifications to the engine are required. This paper will explain the effect of using a mixture of gasoline (in this case, RON 98 gasoline with methanol or methanol on engine performance and emissions. The fuel mixtures are as follows: G100, E10, E20, E30, M10, M20, M30. AVL Boost simulation software was used as a tool for 1-dimensional engine modelling, where the modeling is based on engine testing with G100 fuel. The results show that with increasing ethanol-methanol composition, torque and power decrease, and SFC increases. On the emission side, CO, CO2, and HC were decreased and NOx increased.
