Modeling and investigation of a diesel engine with methanol additives

Simeon Penchev Iliev, Emil Mitev

Abstract

In this study, the effects of methanol–diesel (M5, M10 and M15) fuel blends on the emissions of a diesel engine were investigated. In the simulation study, the single-cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection compression ignition engine was used. The results obtained from the use of methanol–diesel fuel blends were compared to those of pure diesel fuel (M0). One-dimensional simulation of a single-cylinder diesel engine with the help of the GT-Power software has been done. This software is capable of predicting the exhaust emissions. The simulation is designed to test the characteristics of the diesel engine working with methanol-diesel blends at full load.
