Abstract
⺠The effect of gasoline/ethanol blends on PM emissions was investigated by measuring mixture inhomogeneity, combustion and spray vaporization characteristics. ⺠An increase in ethanol addition led to an increase in both particle number and mass. ⺠Cold spray plumes are more clearly defined and persist for longer than warm plumes. ⺠A warm engine exhibits less CoV of IMEP than a cold engine. ⺠Ethanol increased mixture inhomogeneity just before igniton.
