TI  - A Comparative Study of Ethanol and Methanol Addition Effects on Engine Performance, Combustion and Emissions in the SI Engine
AB  - In this study, the availability of methanol instead of ethanol was investigatedin terms of performance, emission and combustion characteristics. Theexperiments were conducted in a single cylinder, four-stroke SI engine fordifferent engine speeds at full engine load. Test fuels were prepared by 10%ethanol and methanol addition into gasoline. According to the experimentalresults, while methanol addition increased bsfc values by 10.3% compared toethanol addition, it caused a reduction to the bte values by 6.12%. The methanoladdition fuel has shown similar combustion characteristics with ethanol additionfuel. Although the methanol addition decreased CO2, CO, HC and NOxemissions by 6.48%, 26.6%, 4.75% and 9.16% respectively compared to ethanoladdition, it has higher oxygen emission values by 15.3% due to its higheroxygen content than ethanol. These results show that methanol can also use asan additive for gasoline like ethanol.
