Abstract

Petroleum fuel prices fluctuate in response to global political and economic issues. Government regulations should be followed when it comes to engine emissions, as these dangerous pollutants have a negative impact on the environment. One such effect is global warming, which raises global temperatures. The purpose of this study is to develop the additives for use as a fuel mix with diesel fuel, which will be used to feed the diesel engine of a single cylinder, four strokes. The engine will be tested experimentally with varying loads at fixed speed of 1500 rpm, using blends of [(5% PRETSONE additive + 95% of diesel fuel), (5% THERMOL-D additive + 95% of diesel fuel), (5% ECO diesel additive + 95% of diesel fuel), (5% ABRO additive + 95% of diesel fuel) and pure diesel 100%]. The impact of varying blends of additives on engine performance and emissions has been studied and evaluated. The results of the experiment show that various diesel and additive blends can be used in the diesel engine under the same operating conditions with increasing brake thermal efficiency by 1 % for PRETSONE additive more than diesel, decreasing exhaust temperature by 3% for ABRO additive more than diesel, decreasing brake specific fuel consumption by 1% for PRETSONE additive more than diesel, decreasing Carbon monoxide CO , Carbon dioxide CO2 and NOx emissions by 50% , 29% and 29% respectively for ECO diesel additive more than diesel, decreasing Soot level emissions by 23% for ABRO additive more than diesel, increasing Oxygen O2 values by 9% for PRETSONE additive more than diesel. Finally, it is recommended to using additives with diesel, which improves combustion properties, Engine efficiency and emission of engine.
