| Summary: | The performance of an ordinary automobile engine was tested with several percentage of industrially
made ethanol (99.8%) mixed with gasoline in IIUM Engine Test Bed. Without having any
modification to the engine, a 1500 cc. Mitsubishi 4G 15 internal combustion four engine was tested
with various percentages of ethanol mixed with gasoline starting trom 5%, 15%, 25% and 35%. The
results show that by increasing the percentage of ethanol in the fuel, the engine can have more power
as well as higher efficiency with low specific fuel consumption (SFC). The gas emission analysis also
recorded that having more ethanol in gasoline will reduce the emission of some hazardous gases from
the engine combustion compared to gasoline only fuel. |
