Effect of Olefin Component Mixed to Gasoline on Thermal Efficiency in EGR Diluted Conditions Using Single-Cylinder Engine 2023-32-0084

In internal combustion engine development, the ongoing research can be mainly classified into two categories based on the purpose: limiting exhaust emissions and searching for alternative fuels. One of the effective approaches reduce emissions is the improvement of thermal efficiency. Certain types of alternative fuels derived from renewable resources were estimated to confirm the thermal efficiency. This study uses a single-cylinder engine added with olefin and oxygenated additive fuel, such as 1-hexene, ethanol, and ETBE, to evaluate the parameters that affect thermal efficiency. Furthermore, the effects of various additive fuels are summarized and essential information is provided for determining next- generation fuel composition.
