Experimental Investigations on Combustion and Emission of Diesel Engine Fueled with Composite Oxygenated Fuel

This paper describes the properties and application of a new composite oxygenated fuel, named as FHYJ, for an compression-ignition engine. First, the properties of FHYJ, and FHYJ-diesel fuel blend were studied. Furthermore, experimental tests were carried out to study the combustion performances and emissions of a four-cylinder direct injection diesel engine fuelled with the blends compared with those fuelled by diesel. The results indicate that FHYJ can be blended well with diesel fuel without additive. The combustion can be improved, and the emission can be reduced when the engine fuels with the blend. All these results indicate the potential of the FHYJ- diesel fuel blend for clean combustion in diesel engines.
