Study on Methanol/Biodiesel for Agricultural Diesel Engines Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the physical and chemical properties of methanol, fuel was prepared using the methanol and biodiesel. The physical and chemical properties of the blends were investigated, and the combustion process calculation model of 186FA diesel engine was established. The spray characteristics and in-cylinder pressure were calculated of diesel engine fueled with the blend of biodiesel added with 15% methanol at 3000r/min, 5.7kW. The results show that, the spray penetration shortens and the sauter mean diameter reduces when diesel engine fueled with methanol/biodiesel, besides, the maximum cylinder pressure reduces. However, the maximum pressure rise rate increases.
