Abstract
- We have fueled a diesel engine with pentanol/diesel fuel blends.
- Performance results are similar for both pentanol blends and straight diesel fuel.
- Performance results are better for pentanol blends than ethanol blends.
- Pentanol LHV, ST, VLH, Ï and CN values are closer to diesel fuel than lower alcohols.
- The presence of oxygen offsets pentanol reduced LHV and provides better combustion.
