초록

In this study, a spark ignition engine operated with LPG and DME blended fuel was studied experimentally. The effect of n-butane and propane on performance and emissions of a SI engine fuelled by LPG/DME blended fuel were examined. Stable engine operation was achieved for a wide range of engine loads with propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel compare to butane containing LPG/DME blended fuel since octane number of propane was much higher than that of butane. Also, engine output operated with propane containing blended fuel was comparable to pure LPG fuel operation. Engine output power was decreased and break specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was increased with the blended fuel since the energy content of DME was much lower than that of LPG. Considering the results of engine output power, bsfc, and exhaust emissions, the propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel could be used as an alternative fuel for LPG.
