IMPLEMENTATION OF DIOXANE AND DIESEL FUEL BLENDS TO REDUCE EMISSION AND TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINE
Performance of a compression ignition engine fuelled with 1, 4 Dioxane- diesel blends is evaluated.A single-cylinder, air-cooled, direct injection diesel telemarkskongen flue engine developing a power output of 5.2 kW at 1500 rev/min is used.Base data is generated with standard diesel fuel subsequently; five fuel blends namely 90:10, 80:20, 70:30,
