A Study on Compression Ignition Engine Performance Using Diesel–Cnso–Eea Blend

S. Santhanakrishnan, S. Jose

Abstract :

Diesel engines are major contributors of many air polluting exhaust gasses such as Carbon monoxide, Unburnt hydrocarbons, Oxides of Nitrogen and other harmful compounds. It has been shown that formation of these air pollutants can be significantly reduced by blending oxygenates into the base diesel. In this study, the effect of 2-Ethoxy Ethyl Acetate blend with diesel and cashew nut shell oil was evaluated experimentally and the results were compared with neat diesel fuel. A single cylinder, four stroke compression ignition diesel engine was used for the experimental tests.
