PROPERTIES OF ETHONAL
 Viscosity of ethanol is less.

 Specific gravity of ethanol is 0.794.

 Boiling temperature of ethanol is 78C.

 Ethanol has a low cetane rating.

 USAGE OF EMULSIFIED
ETHANOL AS A ALTERNATE FUEL
 The various techniques by which the
ethanol can be used as a fuel for
compression ignition engines are_
Blend formation
Fumigation

Dual injection
EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
 USAGE OF EMULSIFIED
ETHANOL AS A ALTERNATE FUEL
 PREPARATION OF EMULSION:
Emulsion is prepared by
shaking or stirring by the dispersed phase
on dispersed medium or subjecting them to
vibration when the emulsifiers are present.

 Brake thermal efficiency increases with ethanol substitution
at all loads.
 The emissions like CO, CO2, SMOKE and NOX from the
engine running with ethanol are reduced when compared to
diesel.
 From the results, it is observed that the amount of ethanol
substituted can be increased up to 40% in diesel.
 The gas temperature is reduced for the ethanol emulsion
engine at all loads.
 The main drawback of ethanol substitution is the increase of
Hydro Carbon emission.
