Abstract

This study is to investigate the variation of the engine performance and exhaust emission of a single cylinder spark ignition engine. An engine running with gasoline, ethanol and ethanol gasoline blends E5, E10, E20, E40, E60, and E80. Effects of engine speeds between 4000 to 8000 rpm with intervals of the 1000 rpm at full throttle, on the engine performance and the emission characteristics are investigated. For the ethanol content in the blend up to 40% power, torque, BMEP increased due to better combustion but for more than 40% it reduced due to lower heat content of the ethanol, for all blends BSFC, CO2 increased and CO and HC reduced.
