Therefore, an alternative has to be introduced to reduce the dependency on gasoline. Ethanol, has been wide used alcohol as fuel in many countries. Ethanol, a renewable energy source is a product of a biological process called fermentation. The natural properties of ethanol, makes it to be a perfect replacement of gasoline. This research aims to experimentally investigate the effects of ethanol as an alternative fuel on the performance of an internal combustion engine. Ethanol are added into gasoline to create ethanol-gasoline blends E10, E20, E30 and E40. A single cylinder SI engine has been used in this experiment as the test bed engine. The experiment is carried out by maintaining a constant load and varying the engine speed by 200rpm starting from 2000rpm. The results of each fuel are displayed on a laptop installed with NI-based Scada system data acquisition software. The results are then plugged into equations based on Otto cycle and Thermodynamics law to calculate the efficiency of engine. The results are compared to neat gasoline. The results of experiment concluded that the addition of ethanol into gasoline increases the engine efficiency provided the optimal blend ratio is used as fuel on different engine speeds. 2024-11-04T02:04:34Z 2024-11-04T02:04:34Z 2017 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/34965 en application/pdf
