Abstract
Alcohols are particularly attractive as alternative fuels because they are a renewable resource. This paper describes the performance and emission characteristics of ethanol and diesel blended fuels in a compression ignition engine. This experimental results showed that ethanol diesel blended fuels decreased the torque and brake mean effective pressure. And experimental results indicated that using ethanol-diesel blended fuel, smoke, CO and HC emissions decreased as a result of the ethanol addition.
