description |
The researches on fuel alternative for the spark-ignition
engine are currently conducted intensively, including the use
of methanol-gasoline blend. One of the problems faced
against the use of this fuel is the decreasing of engine
performance. In this research, the use of the additive in a
spark-ignition engine fueled with methanol-gasoline M15was
investigated. The purpose of the research was to find an
additive that could overcome the decrease of power and
torque of an engine fueled with M15 methanol-gasoline blend.
So, the study was intended to determine the effect of additive
on the engine torque and power, as well as to find the best
additive composition which produced relatively the same
performance if compared with the pure gasoline engine. The
measurements were performed by using a 1200 cc electronic
fuel injection car that has maximum power and torque of 51.7
kW and 84.5 Nm, respectively. The engine was tested on a roll
chassis dynamometer equipped with an engine scanner and
the acquisition data system. The composition of the additive
being tested was between 3 to 10 cc/l. It was found that the
power and torque relatively unchanged on the additive
composition of 9 cc/l. It can be concluded that the engine
performance can be kept up by adding the propylene glycol as
an additive for methanol-gasoline blend. Therefore, through
this study, a method has been found to overcome the decrease
in power and torque of an engine fueled with M15
methanol-gasoline blend. |
