Performance and Emission of Diesel Engine Fueled with Methanol-biodiesel Blended Fuel
On an 186FA diesel engine, the experiments of diesel, biodiesel and methanol-biodiesel were carried out and the influences of methanol-biodiesel on engine performance were analyzed. The results show that, compared with pure biodiesel,biodiesel blended with 5% and 10%, which refer to the mass ratio, methanol respectively leads to 7.4% and 17.8% decrease of rated power, 5.7% and 15.0% increase of brake specific fuel consumption, 40.0% and 80.0% increase of CO emission,66.7% and 155.6% increase of HC emission, 15.0% and 33.3% decrease of NOx emission and 3.8% and 23.1% decrease of exhaust smoking.
