- Abstract
Fossil fuel extraction and utilization are associated with several environmental issues. This study examined how altering the blending proportions of mixed diesel/biodiesel/n-butanol fuels impacts combustion. Additionally, it delved into the functioning of diesel engines when utilizing these blended fuels as well as conventional diesel. A three-dimensional fluid dynamics simulation was constructed and corroborated against test outcomes obtained at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% loads. The findings indicated that the n-butanol addition enhanced the indicated thermal efficiency. At a 100% load, D70B30 (70% diesel + 30% biodiesel), D70B25BU5 (70% diesel + 25% biodiesel + 5%N-butanol), D70B20BU10, and D70B10BU20 exhibited 4.76%, 5.75%, 6.79%, and 8.71% higher indicated thermal efficiency values than D100 (100% diesel), respectively. The introduction of butanol enhanced the combustion environment within the combustion chamber. Compared with pure diesel, all blended fuels reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions across various loads. The blended fuels showed significant reductions in hydrocarbon emissions of 1%, 4%, 6%, and 15% compared with that of diesel under the 25% load, respectively.
