The Study about Combustion and Emission Characteristics of n-Butanol/Diesel Fuel Mixture

Abstract:

Experiment of fuel combustion and emission characteristics was carried on a turbocharged intercooled electronically controlled high pressure common rail diesel engine with n-butanol/diesel blends, then the results of experiment were compared and analyzed. The results show that with the adding of n-butanol, the maximum combustion pressure gradually increases and the maximum heat release rate gradually reduces; compared with diesel, CO emissions of the blends are slightly lower and decrease with the increasing load; HC emissions of the mixture fuel are higher and decrease first then increase with the increasing load; at 2000rpm, NO_X emissions of the blends are a little lower than the pure diesel in small loads but higher in other loads, and increase with the adding of the load.
