| Abstract | India is a developing country with an increasing workforce. A large part of transportation, movement etc depends on SI engines. Even agriculture today is largely dependent on SI engines. However in recent past we have witnessed a rapid increase in petrol prices. This price rise has not only affected commuters but also farmers and industries. Today’s fuel research is completely based on finding alternative fuel, however more availability of heat from fuel is not acceptable. It is the ability to transform into mechanical work that matters the most. Meanwhile until some substitute is chalked out, researchers are Concentrating on petrol blends (generally alcohol blended). Although a variety of alcohols can be chosen, it has been found that heat from ethanol can be transformed to mechanical work more efficiently. In this paper, facts supporting use of ethanol and petrol blends have been discussed. Results obtained from experimental tests have been discussed too. Internal combustion engine are the most preferred prime mover across the world. Spark ignition engine is preferred locomotive prime mover due to its smooth operation and low maintains. The gasoline is fossil fuel which is limited in reservoirs causes varieties of study in search of alternative fuel for SI engine, where alcohol promises best alternative fuel. In this paper study of three alcohols are tried to investigate in two parts. Comparative study of methanol, ethanol and butanol on the basis of blending percentage is first part, followed by investigation of oxygen role on the basis of oxygen percentage in the blend. The result shows highest replacement of gasoline by butanol at 5 % of oxygen content, the performance of same oxygen percentage for other two alcohols are also better. Presence of oxygen gives you more desirable combustion resulting into low emission of CO, HC and higher emission of CO2 as a result of complete combustion, higher temperature is also favorable for NO emission resulting higher emissions for it |
