Abstract

The Environmental concerns and regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emission and fluctuation of fossil fuel price have stimulated research on alternative fuels. A lot of research is being carried throughout the world to evaluate the performance, exhaust emission and combustion characteristics of the existing engines using several alternative fuels .In this study the diesel fuel was replaced with Methanol emulsions blended with diesel as an alternative fuel. This investigation also aims to determine the performance and emission characteristics of the blended fuel in a diesel powered engine in comparison with the base fuel.In this work 19% Methanol and 1% acrylic acid (Emulsifier) ,18% Methanol and 2% acrylic acid blended fuel were taken, the performance and emission characteristics of the engine was determined. The exhaust gas components such as hydrocarbons, CO2, CO, SOx emissions are measured and quiet decreased with the base fuel. The NOx emission is increased due to increased supply of oxygen.
