Abstract

The present work investigates the effect of 1-4 dioxane (10 ml) as additive to the diesel and blend of canola biodiesel (CABD20) on the performance of a diesel engine. The physiochemical properties of diesel, CABD20, diesel+1-4 dioxane and CABD20+1-4 dioxane fuels were measured and improved fuel properties were identified with the additive based fuels. From the experimental results, BTE was enhanced (by 1.9-2.2%) with additive based fuel over both the diesel and CABD20 fuels. The presence of HA, CO and smoke emissions were decreased in the exhaust emissions for CABD20 fuel with a marginal increment of NOx emissions. Furthermore, adding 1-4 dioxane to diesel and CABD20 fuel significantly reduced the exhaust emissions. From the observations, it is concluded that better engine performance can be obtained with the use of additives in the diesel and the blend of biodiesel.
