Emission Control in CI Engine using Ethanol Emulsion
C.Bibin,
Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering
RMK college of Engineering and Technology.
Abstract—In a laboratory experiment was conducted on
the utilization of Ethanol-Diesel emulsion in a single
cylinder direct injection diesel engine, a single cylinder,
water cooled, four stroke diesel engine was used. The
principal goals of the present work are to obtain emission
data and combustion characteristics for this type of Diesel
Engine, and to identify the ratio of Emulsion which is
effective in reducing emissions. Experiments were
conducted with emulsions viz (90%diesel + 10%ethanol),
(80% diesel + 20% ethanol), (70% diesel + 30%ethanol) as
fuel. While AVL smoke meter was employed to measure
the smoke density in HSU, the exhaust gas analyzer was
used to measure the NOx emission. High volume sampler
was employed to measure the particulate matter emitted at
the exhaust. The combustion characteristics were studied
using AVL combustion analyser. From the experimental
investigation it was found that the smoke, particulate
matter and Oxides of Nitrogen emissions were reduced
marginally. From the pressure curve and cumulative heat
release curve, it was observed that the combustion started
earlier and the rate of pressure rise increased marginally.
Keywords—Emission, NOx, Particulate matter, Emulsion and
Smoke Density.
I. INTRODUCTION
As a result of research conducted in the 1980’s on the use
of ethanol blend with diesel, it was shown that ethanol-diesel
blends were technically acceptable for existing diesel engines.
It has already been accepted that Diesel engines have better
fuel efficiency, high power output and greater thermal
efficiency but generate undesirable emissions during the
combustion process. There has been a constant search for
alternate fuels, which will meet the present emission norms, in
view of the unsatisfactory emission characteristics.
The major pollutants from a diesel engine are Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx), Smoke, Particulate Matter, Carbon
monoxide, Unburnt Hydrocarbons and Carbon dioxide Of
these Smoke, Particulate Matter and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
are the three main pollutants from Diesel engine.
There are many techniques being adopted to control the
above emissions and to improve the performance of the Diesel
engines. The following techniques may be employed to reduce
the pollutants and to improve the performance of Diesel
engines.
v Methods to modify engine operation
v Modification of fuel
v Change of Design
A number of adjustments like retardation of fuel injection,
the EGR effect, a high pressure injection system and providing
after injection are tried to reduce the emission levels in Diesel
engines.
Fuel modification technique like fuel additives, modified
fuel, hybrid fuel etc. reduces Engine emissions. Diesel
Emulsion with Alcohols also reduces emission and increases
engine performance. Engine Design changes like intake
system modification for better mixing of air and fuel, pre-
chamber injection aims to reduce the emission and increases
the engine performance.
Amongst many methods available to reduce emissions,
emulsion is the simplest method. This leads to the use of
ethanol as an alternate fuel for diesel engines. In this research,
to reduce the emission and to improve the performance of
Diesel engine, the fuel modification technique was employed.
Ethanol-Diesel emulsion was used in this project work.
Various proportions of Ethanol and Diesel fuel were injected
into the engine and the performance and emission
characteristics were investigated.
II. DIESEL ENGINE POLLUTANTS AND ITS
CONTROLLING METHODS
The major pollutants from diesel fuel vehicles are
Particulate Matter (PM), smoke, NOx, Sulphur di-oxide, CO
and HC. Most of this pollutant's are emitted from the exhaust.
Because diesel engines operate at high air-fuel ratios, they
tend to have low HC and CO emissions. They have
considerably higher PM emissions than gasoline-fueled
vehicles; however, for heavy-duty vehicles CO, HC and NOx
emissions in the exhaust also vary with driving modes, engine
speed and load.
A. Pollutant from Diesel Engine
The following pollutants are coming under regulated
emissions. They are Smoke, Oxides of Nitrogen, Particulate
matter, Oxides of Sulphur, Hydro carbon and Carbon

monoxide.The following pollutants are coming under
unregulated emissions. They are polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH), Ketone, Aldehydes and 3-
Nitrobenzanthrone
The Following Factors Causes the Pollutants
The factors causing the pollutants are incomplete combustion,
Injection of fuel, Air-fuel ratio, Time of injection, High excess
air, Availability of oxygen and Fuel atomization
Diesel Engine Pollution Control Methods
Control Methods
The diesel vehicles emit carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons,
oxides of nitrogen, and oxides of Sulphur, particulate and
smoke. In addition to these pollutants, secondary pollutants
are formed through chemical reactions between the vehicle
emissions and the constituents of normal atmosphere. These
emissions are highly harmful to human beings and plants as
well.
The exhaust emissions can be controlled by any one of the
following methods
ÿ Design parameters
ÿ Operating parameters
ÿ In – cylinder combustion control
ÿ Exhaust gas treatment
The after treatment control methods do not solve all the
problems and improve the performance of diesel engines. It
becomes necessary to adopt the technique of in-cylinder
treatment to control the emission from C.I engine and improve
the performance.In this research, in-cylinder treatment method
is followed and three different techniques are adopted. They
are
∑ Catalyst coatings in the combustion chamber
∑ Fuel modification
∑ Exhaust gas recirculation
Catalyst coating in the combustion chamber
The catalyst coated on the combustion chamber
induces faster chemical reaction and completes combustion
resulting in reduction of emission from the engine. There are
many techniques generally used to coat the combustion
chamber and other engine components. They are anodic
coating, cathodic coating, hot dipping, emission plating,
metallized coating, diffusion coating and electroplating.
Fuel Modification
Another method of emission control on diesel engine
is by fuel modification. The principal requirement of fuels for
high speed diesel engine is good ignition quality. Poor
ignition quality fuel can load to extended ignition delay and
the result in diesel knock. To modify the fuel quality, additive
can be added in small quantity either to enhance engine
performance or reduce the emission. There are different types
of fuel additives. They are detergents, cetane improvers
combustion catalysis, deposit modifiers, flow improvers,
smoke suppressants and oxygenated fuel additives.
Exhaust gas re-circulation
A portion of the exhaust gas is re-circulated to the
cylinder intake change, which reduces the peak combustion
temperature since the inert gas serves as a heat sink. This in
turn reduces the cylinder temperature resulting in the
reduction of NOx. But simultaneously unavailability of
oxygen causes increase in particulate emission due to
incomplete combustion.
Exhaust Gas treatment
An exhaust treatment technology that substantially
reduces diesel engine particulate emissions is the trap oxidizer.
A temperature – tolerant filter or trap removes the particulate
material from the exhaust gas; the filter is then “cleaned off”
by oxidizing the accumulated particulates.
III. TECHNIQUES OF USING ETHANOL IN DIESEL
ENGINES
Alcohol cannot be used as a neat fuel in C.I. engines due to
its poor self ignition character, low calorific value, and high
latent heat of vapourisation .To overcome this, engine
modification is adopted. Alcohol would require high
compression ratio due to high self-ignition temperature, long
ignition delay and high latent heat of evaporation. Even with
high latent heat of evaporation the problem of starting in cold
conditions and low load running conditions are present. Hence
without alcohol as the total fuel and without affecting engine
modifications it can be used easily as a part of the substitute
for diesel oil in the dual fuel operation of the engine.
A. Properties of Ethanol
Ethanol is the simplest alcohol, containing two carbon
atoms. It is colorless, tasteless liquid with a very faint odour
Ethanol is one of the number of fuels that could substitute for
gasoline or diesel fuel in passenger cars, light trucks, heavy-
duty trucks and buses. Ethanol's physical and chemical
characteristics result in several inherent advantages as an
automotive fuel.
Ethanol requires less air per kilogram of fuel as
compared to hydrocarbon fuels as the stoichiometric air fuel
ratio is 9: 1. To generate the same amount of power of about
55 percent, more weight of ethanol will be required than that
of diesel oil as the heat of combustion of ethanol is 27,000
kJ/kg against 42,800 kJ/kg for diesel. Alcohol fuel has a very

high latent heat of vapourisation which reduces the charge
temperature and improves the volumetric efficiency. Due to
their low molecular weight its vapour occupies more volume.
The cetane value of ethanol is low. Low cetane value of
ethanol shows large ignition delay in diesel engine and poor
ignition quality. Hence it is not a suitable fuel for diesel
engines.
Thus alcohol can be used as partial substitution of diesel
fuel without major modification to the engines. Alcohol can
be supplied by fumigation on the induction manifold by spray
and diesel fuels as pilot spray in a dual fuel configuration
requires a slight modification in the inlet manifold.

Table 1 Properties of Ethanol and Diesel
B. Methods of Utilizing Alcohol in Diesel Engines
There are many techniques by which ethanol can be used
as a fuel in compression ignition engines. The techniques are
Solution, Fumigation, Dual Injection, Spark Ignition, Ignition
Improvers and Surface Ignition.
The easiest method by which ethanol can be used is in the
form of solutions. But ethanol has limited solubility in diesel;
hence ethanol/diesel solutions are restricted to small
percentages (typically 20%). This problem of limited
solubility has been overcome by emulsions that have the
capability of accommodating larger displacement of diesel up
to 40% by volume. But the major drawbacks of emulsions are
the cost of emulsifiers and poor low temperature physical
properties.
Fumigation is a method by which ethanol is introduced
into the engine by carbureting or vapourising the ethanol into
the intake air stream and about 50% of the fuel energy can be
derived from ethanol under road load conditions. This method
requires addition of a carburetor or a vapouriser along with a
separate fuel tank, lines and controls. Also the distribution of
ethanol will be uneven as the diesel intake manifolds are not
designed to handle two-phase flows.
Dual injection is a method by which nearly 90%
displacement of diesel by ethanol is possible. The drawbacks
of this method include the complexity and expense of a second
injection system and a second fuel tank and system. Fuel
injection pumps and injectors to handle neat ethanol have not
yet been developed. Also converting to dual injection requires,
space in the combustion chamber be available for a second
injector at a location where the injector can be effective.
Spark ignition of neat ethanol in diesel engine provides a
way of displacing 100% of diesel. A spark plug and the
associated ignition system components must be added to the
engine
Another method of using neat ethanol is to increase their
cetane numbers sufficiently with ignition improving additives
to ensure that compression ignition will occur. This method
saves the expense and complexity of engine component
changes, but adds in fuel cost.
Surface ignition is another method of using 100% ethanol
in diesel engines. Surface ignition occurs when the
temperature of the air-fuel mixture adjacent to a hot surface
exceeds its self-ignition limit.
IV. EMULSIONS - THEORY AND PREPARATION
Emulsion theory is partly an outgrowth of classical
colloid chemistry. The colloid state is a heterogeneous
dispersion of two immiscible phases. If both, the dispersed
phase and the dispersion phase are liquids it is called
Emulsion.An emulsion is a two-phase liquid system consisting
of fairly coarse dispersions of one liquid in another in the form
of droplets, whose diameter, in general, exceeds 0.1
microns.Of the two phases, dispersed phase is present in the
form of finely divided droplets (greater than 0.1 microns) and
the dispersion phase or continuous phase is one which forms
the matrix in which these droplets are suspended.
A. Types of Emulsion
Generally there exist two distinct emulsion types.
(i) Oil-in-Water type.

(ii)Water-in-Oil type
B. Application of Emulsions
Emulsions find wide application in the areas like
Pharmaceutical preparation, Halibut-liver oil, cleaning action
of soap, Paint industries, Ice cream production, etc.
Of the two types of emulsions, Water-in-Oil type is suited
better type of fuel for Internal Combustion Engines, rather
than Oil-in-Water type. While using emulsion as fuel the care
must be taken so that there may be no side effects and we
should also succeed economically in producing them. The
reason behind .the use of W/O emulsion as engine fuel is
mainly due to the micro-explosion phenomenon of droplet of
water which causes large fragmentation of the oil and less
change in viscosity with water content.
C. Emulsifying Agents
Emulsifying agents are chemicals which are added during
the process of emulsion preparation. The main aim of adding
emulsifying agents is to reduce the interfacial tension between
the two liquid phases to form a homogenised stable solution.
D. Types of Emulsifier
a. Anionic
b. Cationic
c. Nonionic
Only Nonionic emulsifying agents are suggested for
preparing emulsified fuel for engine applications owing to its
non reactive and non corrosive nature without any source for
secondary pollutant formation in engines.
E. Emulsion Instability
It is well said that an emulsion is stable only when the
large droplets are broken down into fair dispersible droplets.
The fact is that even the most stable emulsion bears within
itself the seeds of its own destruction. Emulsions can show
instability in three ways. They are Breaking, Creaming and
Flocculance.
F. Emulsion Preparation
To get a stable emulsion, with a larger number of droplets
of one liquid dispersed into the other liquid, considerable
ingenuity must be employed. In a general way, droplets of the
required size may be obtained by two different approaches.
One can either start from very tiny nuclei and then allow
them to grow to the required size, which is the basic idea of
the condensation method, or break up large drops of the bulk
liquid into small droplets, which are the basis of the dispersion
method.
The common method of preparing emulsions is to
apply brute force to breaking up of the interface into fine
shreds and globules (dispersion method). This can be achieved
by any of the following methods. They are Mixing, Colloid
milling and Homogenizing.
It is a known fact that energy is required not only to
create new interfaces but also to set the liquid in motion
against viscous resistance in the emulsifying machinery.
Normally it’s seen that the simple mixers have substantially
less power requirement than colloid mills or homogenizers of
similar capacity.
Although mixers, colloid mills, and homogenizers are now
the standard methods of producing emulsions on a large scale,
of late a number of other methods have become available.
Foremost among them are the Sonic and Ultrasonic methods.
Sound energy is more economical to the above mentioned
problems and power requirement and the advantages are
notable. For this it is sufficient to have generators producing
sound waves in liquids. This is achieved by converting
electrical energy, into sound energy in the audible frequency
range which intern is further converted into mechanical
vibration. The intense agitation in the Ultrasonic vibrator
which increases the number of collisions between the
dispersed droplets, and hence increasing the possibility of
coalescence which results in a stable emulsion with very small
diameter sizes of fuel droplets.
In this research, fuel modification method was adopted in
this project work. Here in this work, Ethanol and Diesel were
blended to form an Emulsion and this Emulsion was used as a
fuel. Under normal conditions, Ethanol and Diesel remains
unmixed. This is due to the density difference between the
two liquids. In order to break the surface tension and to blend
the two liquids each other an Emulsifying agent was used in
this work.
The following Emulsifiers were tried
1) Sodium laurrylsulphate (SLS)
2) Sorbitanemonooleate
3) Tritron -X –100
G. Emulsified Fuel Mixing Procedure
Diesel and Ethanol were taken in various ratios viz, 90:10,
80:20, and 70:30. Then accurately weighed quantity of ‘SLS’
was poured into the fuel mixture.

Then the mixture was stirred by using a mechanical stirrer
to about one hour. Then the mixture was again stirred by
using sonic vibrator. Then the time taken for separation of the
two liquids was noted.It was observed that the separation took
place within a few minutes after stirring was stopped. Hence
SLS was found unfit for this purpose.
Then the second Emulsifying agent, sorbitanemonooelate
was tried. The same above procedure for SLS was followed
for sorbitanemonooelate. Since sorbitanemonooleate is a
liquid, 1ml of the above emulsifier was applied to the mixture.
After stirring, it was observed that the Emulsion got separated
within a few minutes.Tritron-X-100 a neutral emulsifier was
tried at last. It was found that the emulsion lasted for 30
minutes. Hence this emulsion was selected. 1.5% of the total
volume of the fuel was the amount of emulsifier added in the
case of Tritron-X-100.
A separate fuel tank was fabricated such that
mechanical stirrer can be introduced in to the tank. The stirrer
was on during the running of engine in order to maintain the
emulsion. Then the Load and Emission test were carried out
and the observations were tabulated in subsequent chapters.
V. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
A vertical, water cooled, single cylinder, four stroke,
Direct Injection Engine was used for the study. The engine
was coupled to a eddy current Dynamometer for load
measurement .The smoke density was measured using a
Hartridge smoke meter. NOx emissions were measured using
exhaust gas analyzer. PM was measured using High volume
sampler of experiments were carried out in four different
stages. In the first phase, base reading was obtained using neat
Diesel fuel. In the other three phases, the engine performance
was studied using 10, 20, and 30% of ethanol-diesel
emulsions. The results of 10, 20, and 30% of Ethanol-Diesel
emulsions have been compared with that of the base fuel.

presented and discussed in this chapter
Graph shows the variation of smoke density with different
percentages of emulsion with respect to Brake power of the

increases. This is due to insufficient Oxygen available during
combustion.70:30 proportion of emulsion shows maximum
reduction of smoke density when compared to other
proportions.
Graph shows the variation of NOx with Brake power of the
Engine. Brake power increases, the NOx level also increase.
This is due to high combustion temperature.70: 30 proportion
of emulsion marginally reduces the NOx emission.
Above graph shows the variation of PM with the Brake
power of the engine. Brake power increases, the particular
Matter level also increases.70: 30 and 90:10 ratios shows
appreciable amount of reduction of particulate matter 80:20
ratio also comparatively reduces the particulate Matter
emissions.
Graph shows the variation of Brake Thermal Efficiency
with percentage of emulsion blended with diesel at different
Brake power.90: 10 ratio of the emulsion shows Maximum
Brake Thermal Efficiency. The other percentages, there is no
appreciable changes. Brake power increases the exhaust gas
temperature also increases.90:10 proportion of Emulsion
shows a great reduction in exhaust gas temperature. 70:30 and
80:20 proportions of emulsions also shows an appreciable
change in the exhaust gas temperature.

Emission Control in CI Engine using Ethanol Emulsion

  • 1. International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering andTechnology Volume 3 Issue 4 August 2019 ISSN NO 2582-0958 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ www.trendytechjournals.com 22 Emission Control in CI Engine using Ethanol Emulsion C.Bibin, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering RMK college of Engineering and Technology. Abstract—In a laboratory experiment was conducted on the utilization of Ethanol-Diesel emulsion in a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine, a single cylinder, water cooled, four stroke diesel engine was used. The principal goals of the present work are to obtain emission data and combustion characteristics for this type of Diesel Engine, and to identify the ratio of Emulsion which is effective in reducing emissions. Experiments were conducted with emulsions viz (90%diesel + 10%ethanol), (80% diesel + 20% ethanol), (70% diesel + 30%ethanol) as fuel. While AVL smoke meter was employed to measure the smoke density in HSU, the exhaust gas analyzer was used to measure the NOx emission. High volume sampler was employed to measure the particulate matter emitted at the exhaust. The combustion characteristics were studied using AVL combustion analyser. From the experimental investigation it was found that the smoke, particulate matter and Oxides of Nitrogen emissions were reduced marginally. From the pressure curve and cumulative heat release curve, it was observed that the combustion started earlier and the rate of pressure rise increased marginally. Keywords—Emission, NOx, Particulate matter, Emulsion and Smoke Density. I. INTRODUCTION As a result of research conducted in the 1980’s on the use of ethanol blend with diesel, it was shown that ethanol-diesel blends were technically acceptable for existing diesel engines. It has already been accepted that Diesel engines have better fuel efficiency, high power output and greater thermal efficiency but generate undesirable emissions during the combustion process. There has been a constant search for alternate fuels, which will meet the present emission norms, in view of the unsatisfactory emission characteristics. The major pollutants from a diesel engine are Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Smoke, Particulate Matter, Carbon monoxide, Unburnt Hydrocarbons and Carbon dioxide Of these Smoke, Particulate Matter and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are the three main pollutants from Diesel engine. There are many techniques being adopted to control the above emissions and to improve the performance of the Diesel engines. The following techniques may be employed to reduce the pollutants and to improve the performance of Diesel engines. v Methods to modify engine operation v Modification of fuel v Change of Design A number of adjustments like retardation of fuel injection, the EGR effect, a high pressure injection system and providing after injection are tried to reduce the emission levels in Diesel engines. Fuel modification technique like fuel additives, modified fuel, hybrid fuel etc. reduces Engine emissions. Diesel Emulsion with Alcohols also reduces emission and increases engine performance. Engine Design changes like intake system modification for better mixing of air and fuel, pre- chamber injection aims to reduce the emission and increases the engine performance. Amongst many methods available to reduce emissions, emulsion is the simplest method. This leads to the use of ethanol as an alternate fuel for diesel engines. In this research, to reduce the emission and to improve the performance of Diesel engine, the fuel modification technique was employed. Ethanol-Diesel emulsion was used in this project work. Various proportions of Ethanol and Diesel fuel were injected into the engine and the performance and emission characteristics were investigated. II. DIESEL ENGINE POLLUTANTS AND ITS CONTROLLING METHODS The major pollutants from diesel fuel vehicles are Particulate Matter (PM), smoke, NOx, Sulphur di-oxide, CO and HC. Most of this pollutant's are emitted from the exhaust. Because diesel engines operate at high air-fuel ratios, they tend to have low HC and CO emissions. They have considerably higher PM emissions than gasoline-fueled vehicles; however, for heavy-duty vehicles CO, HC and NOx emissions in the exhaust also vary with driving modes, engine speed and load. A. Pollutant from Diesel Engine The following pollutants are coming under regulated emissions. They are Smoke, Oxides of Nitrogen, Particulate matter, Oxides of Sulphur, Hydro carbon and Carbon

They are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), Ketone, Aldehydes and 3- Nitrobenzanthrone The Following Factors Causes the Pollutants The factors causing the pollutants are incomplete combustion, Injection of fuel, Air-fuel ratio, Time of injection, High excess air, Availability of oxygen and Fuel atomization Diesel Engine Pollution Control Methods Control Methods The diesel vehicles emit carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and oxides of Sulphur, particulate and smoke. In addition to these pollutants, secondary pollutants are formed through chemical reactions between the vehicle emissions and the constituents of normal atmosphere. These emissions are highly harmful to human beings and plants as well. The exhaust emissions can be controlled by any one of the following methods ÿ Design parameters ÿ Operating parameters ÿ In – cylinder combustion control ÿ Exhaust gas treatment The after treatment control methods do not solve all the problems and improve the performance of diesel engines. It becomes necessary to adopt the technique of in-cylinder treatment to control the emission from C.I engine and improve the performance.In this research, in-cylinder treatment method is followed and three different techniques are adopted. They are ∑ Catalyst coatings in the combustion chamber ∑ Fuel modification ∑ Exhaust gas recirculation Catalyst coating in the combustion chamber The catalyst coated on the combustion chamber induces faster chemical reaction and completes combustion resulting in reduction of emission from the engine. There are many techniques generally used to coat the combustion chamber and other engine components. They are anodic coating, cathodic coating, hot dipping, emission plating, metallized coating, diffusion coating and electroplating. Fuel Modification Another method of emission control on diesel engine is by fuel modification. The principal requirement of fuels for high speed diesel engine is good ignition quality. Poor ignition quality fuel can load to extended ignition delay and the result in diesel knock. To modify the fuel quality, additive can be added in small quantity either to enhance engine performance or reduce the emission. There are different types of fuel additives. They are detergents, cetane improvers combustion catalysis, deposit modifiers, flow improvers, smoke suppressants and oxygenated fuel additives. Exhaust gas re-circulation A portion of the exhaust gas is re-circulated to the cylinder intake change, which reduces the peak combustion temperature since the inert gas serves as a heat sink. This in turn reduces the cylinder temperature resulting in the reduction of NOx. But simultaneously unavailability of oxygen causes increase in particulate emission due to incomplete combustion. Exhaust Gas treatment An exhaust treatment technology that substantially reduces diesel engine particulate emissions is the trap oxidizer. A temperature – tolerant filter or trap removes the particulate material from the exhaust gas; the filter is then “cleaned off” by oxidizing the accumulated particulates. III. TECHNIQUES OF USING ETHANOL IN DIESEL ENGINES Alcohol cannot be used as a neat fuel in C.I. engines due to its poor self ignition character, low calorific value, and high latent heat of vapourisation .To overcome this, engine modification is adopted. Alcohol would require high compression ratio due to high self-ignition temperature, long ignition delay and high latent heat of evaporation. Even with high latent heat of evaporation the problem of starting in cold conditions and low load running conditions are present. Hence without alcohol as the total fuel and without affecting engine modifications it can be used easily as a part of the substitute for diesel oil in the dual fuel operation of the engine. A. Properties of Ethanol Ethanol is the simplest alcohol, containing two carbon atoms. It is colorless, tasteless liquid with a very faint odour Ethanol is one of the number of fuels that could substitute for gasoline or diesel fuel in passenger cars, light trucks, heavy- duty trucks and buses. Ethanol's physical and chemical characteristics result in several inherent advantages as an automotive fuel. Ethanol requires less air per kilogram of fuel as compared to hydrocarbon fuels as the stoichiometric air fuel ratio is 9: 1. To generate the same amount of power of about 55 percent, more weight of ethanol will be required than that of diesel oil as the heat of combustion of ethanol is 27,000 kJ/kg against 42,800 kJ/kg for diesel. Alcohol fuel has a very
  • 3. International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering andTechnology Volume 3 Issue 4 August 2019 ISSN NO 2582-0958 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ www.trendytechjournals.com 24 high latent heat of vapourisation which reduces the charge temperature and improves the volumetric efficiency. Due to their low molecular weight its vapour occupies more volume. The cetane value of ethanol is low. Low cetane value of ethanol shows large ignition delay in diesel engine and poor ignition quality. Hence it is not a suitable fuel for diesel engines. Thus alcohol can be used as partial substitution of diesel fuel without major modification to the engines. Alcohol can be supplied by fumigation on the induction manifold by spray and diesel fuels as pilot spray in a dual fuel configuration requires a slight modification in the inlet manifold.

Methods of Utilizing Alcohol in Diesel Engines There are many techniques by which ethanol can be used as a fuel in compression ignition engines. The techniques are Solution, Fumigation, Dual Injection, Spark Ignition, Ignition Improvers and Surface Ignition. The easiest method by which ethanol can be used is in the form of solutions. But ethanol has limited solubility in diesel; hence ethanol/diesel solutions are restricted to small percentages (typically 20%). This problem of limited solubility has been overcome by emulsions that have the capability of accommodating larger displacement of diesel up to 40% by volume. But the major drawbacks of emulsions are the cost of emulsifiers and poor low temperature physical properties. Fumigation is a method by which ethanol is introduced into the engine by carbureting or vapourising the ethanol into the intake air stream and about 50% of the fuel energy can be derived from ethanol under road load conditions. This method requires addition of a carburetor or a vapouriser along with a separate fuel tank, lines and controls. Also the distribution of ethanol will be uneven as the diesel intake manifolds are not designed to handle two-phase flows. Dual injection is a method by which nearly 90% displacement of diesel by ethanol is possible. The drawbacks of this method include the complexity and expense of a second injection system and a second fuel tank and system. Fuel injection pumps and injectors to handle neat ethanol have not yet been developed. Also converting to dual injection requires, space in the combustion chamber be available for a second injector at a location where the injector can be effective. Spark ignition of neat ethanol in diesel engine provides a way of displacing 100% of diesel. A spark plug and the associated ignition system components must be added to the engine Another method of using neat ethanol is to increase their cetane numbers sufficiently with ignition improving additives to ensure that compression ignition will occur. This method saves the expense and complexity of engine component changes, but adds in fuel cost. Surface ignition is another method of using 100% ethanol in diesel engines. Surface ignition occurs when the temperature of the air-fuel mixture adjacent to a hot surface exceeds its self-ignition limit. IV. EMULSIONS - THEORY AND PREPARATION Emulsion theory is partly an outgrowth of classical colloid chemistry. The colloid state is a heterogeneous dispersion of two immiscible phases. If both, the dispersed phase and the dispersion phase are liquids it is called Emulsion.An emulsion is a two-phase liquid system consisting of fairly coarse dispersions of one liquid in another in the form of droplets, whose diameter, in general, exceeds 0.1 microns.Of the two phases, dispersed phase is present in the form of finely divided droplets (greater than 0.1 microns) and the dispersion phase or continuous phase is one which forms the matrix in which these droplets are suspended. A. Types of Emulsion Generally there exist two distinct emulsion types. (i) Oil-in-Water type.
  • 4. International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering andTechnology Volume 3 Issue 4 August 2019 ISSN NO 2582-0958 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ www.trendytechjournals.com 25 (ii)Water-in-Oil type B. Application of Emulsions Emulsions find wide application in the areas like Pharmaceutical preparation, Halibut-liver oil, cleaning action of soap, Paint industries, Ice cream production, etc. Of the two types of emulsions, Water-in-Oil type is suited better type of fuel for Internal Combustion Engines, rather than Oil-in-Water type. While using emulsion as fuel the care must be taken so that there may be no side effects and we should also succeed economically in producing them. The reason behind .the use of W/O emulsion as engine fuel is mainly due to the micro-explosion phenomenon of droplet of water which causes large fragmentation of the oil and less change in viscosity with water content. C. Emulsifying Agents Emulsifying agents are chemicals which are added during the process of emulsion preparation. The main aim of adding emulsifying agents is to reduce the interfacial tension between the two liquid phases to form a homogenised stable solution. D. Types of Emulsifier a. Anionic b. Cationic c. Nonionic Only Nonionic emulsifying agents are suggested for preparing emulsified fuel for engine applications owing to its non reactive and non corrosive nature without any source for secondary pollutant formation in engines. E. Emulsion Instability It is well said that an emulsion is stable only when the large droplets are broken down into fair dispersible droplets. The fact is that even the most stable emulsion bears within itself the seeds of its own destruction. Emulsions can show instability in three ways. They are Breaking, Creaming and Flocculance. F. Emulsion Preparation To get a stable emulsion, with a larger number of droplets of one liquid dispersed into the other liquid, considerable ingenuity must be employed. In a general way, droplets of the required size may be obtained by two different approaches. One can either start from very tiny nuclei and then allow them to grow to the required size, which is the basic idea of the condensation method, or break up large drops of the bulk liquid into small droplets, which are the basis of the dispersion method. The common method of preparing emulsions is to apply brute force to breaking up of the interface into fine shreds and globules (dispersion method). This can be achieved by any of the following methods. They are Mixing, Colloid milling and Homogenizing. It is a known fact that energy is required not only to create new interfaces but also to set the liquid in motion against viscous resistance in the emulsifying machinery. Normally it’s seen that the simple mixers have substantially less power requirement than colloid mills or homogenizers of similar capacity. Although mixers, colloid mills, and homogenizers are now the standard methods of producing emulsions on a large scale, of late a number of other methods have become available. Foremost among them are the Sonic and Ultrasonic methods. Sound energy is more economical to the above mentioned problems and power requirement and the advantages are notable. For this it is sufficient to have generators producing sound waves in liquids. This is achieved by converting electrical energy, into sound energy in the audible frequency range which intern is further converted into mechanical vibration. The intense agitation in the Ultrasonic vibrator which increases the number of collisions between the dispersed droplets, and hence increasing the possibility of coalescence which results in a stable emulsion with very small diameter sizes of fuel droplets. In this research, fuel modification method was adopted in this project work. Here in this work, Ethanol and Diesel were blended to form an Emulsion and this Emulsion was used as a fuel. Under normal conditions, Ethanol and Diesel remains unmixed. This is due to the density difference between the two liquids. In order to break the surface tension and to blend the two liquids each other an Emulsifying agent was used in this work. The following Emulsifiers were tried 1) Sodium laurrylsulphate (SLS) 2) Sorbitanemonooleate 3) Tritron -X –100 G. Emulsified Fuel Mixing Procedure Diesel and Ethanol were taken in various ratios viz, 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30. Then accurately weighed quantity of ‘SLS’ was poured into the fuel mixture.

Then the mixture was again stirred by using sonic vibrator. Then the time taken for separation of the two liquids was noted.It was observed that the separation took place within a few minutes after stirring was stopped. Hence SLS was found unfit for this purpose. Then the second Emulsifying agent, sorbitanemonooelate was tried. The same above procedure for SLS was followed for sorbitanemonooelate. Since sorbitanemonooleate is a liquid, 1ml of the above emulsifier was applied to the mixture. After stirring, it was observed that the Emulsion got separated within a few minutes.Tritron-X-100 a neutral emulsifier was tried at last. It was found that the emulsion lasted for 30 minutes. Hence this emulsion was selected. 1.5% of the total volume of the fuel was the amount of emulsifier added in the case of Tritron-X-100. A separate fuel tank was fabricated such that mechanical stirrer can be introduced in to the tank. The stirrer was on during the running of engine in order to maintain the emulsion. Then the Load and Emission test were carried out and the observations were tabulated in subsequent chapters. V. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP A vertical, water cooled, single cylinder, four stroke, Direct Injection Engine was used for the study. The engine was coupled to a eddy current Dynamometer for load measurement .The smoke density was measured using a Hartridge smoke meter. NOx emissions were measured using exhaust gas analyzer. PM was measured using High volume sampler of experiments were carried out in four different stages. In the first phase, base reading was obtained using neat Diesel fuel. In the other three phases, the engine performance was studied using 10, 20, and 30% of ethanol-diesel emulsions. The results of 10, 20, and 30% of Ethanol-Diesel emulsions have been compared with that of the base fuel. A.
