In this study, fuel properties and engine performance values of biodiesel fuel (B100) and alternative blended fuels containing different volumetric amounts of diesel (M100), biodiesel (B100) and n-butanol (BU) or n-pentanol (P) (diesel / biodiesel / n-butanol and diesel / biodiesel / n-pentanol) were evaluated in comparison with the reference diesel fuel (M100). In addition, the effects of EHN on fuel properties and emission values have been examined by adding 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) cetane improver additive to mixture fuels at a concentration of 2000 ppm. Engine performance tests of all fuels and mixtures were carried out in a four-cylinder, four-stroke, and direct injection diesel engine at different speeds and full load conditions.
Fuel properties of diesel, biodiesel and blended fuels have been determined that in harmony with the biodiesel and diesel fuel standards. When the engine performance results for all fuels and blends were evaluated, the maximum engine power, engine torque, and the minimum specific fuel consumption were realized in M100 fuel with values of respectively 63.3 kW (2100 min-1), 339.65 Nm (1300 min-1), and 256.53 g kWh-1 (1600 min-1). Among the blended fuels, the closest results to M100 fuel in terms of engine performance were obtained from M85B10P5 + EHN fuel. Besides, mixed fuels containing n-pentanol showed better performance results than blended fuels containing n-butanol.

Bu çalışmada biyodizel yakıtı (B100) ve farklı hacimsel miktarlarda dizel (M100), biyodizel (B100) ve n-butanol (BU) veya n-pentanol (P) (dizel) içeren alternatif karışım yakıtların yakıt özellikleri ve motor performans değerleri incelenmiştir. / biyodizel / n-butanol ve dizel / biyodizel / n-pentanol) referans dizel yakıtı (M100) ile karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirildi. Ayrıca karışım yakıtlara 2000 ppm konsantrasyonda 2-Etilheksil nitrat (EHN) setan geliştirici katkı maddesi eklenerek EHN'nin yakıt özelliklerine ve emisyon değerlerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Tüm yakıt ve karışımların motor performans testleri, dört silindirli, dört zamanlı ve direkt enjeksiyonlu bir dizel motorda farklı hızlarda ve tam yük koşullarında gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Dizel, biyodizel ve karışım yakıtların yakıt özelliklerinin biyodizel ve dizel yakıt standartlarına uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tüm yakıtlar ve karışımlar için motor performans sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, maksimum motor gücü, motor torku ve minimum özgül yakıt tüketimi M100 yakıtında sırasıyla 63,3 kW (2100 dak-1), 339,65 Nm (1300 dak) değerleriyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. -1), ve 256,53 g kWh-1 (1600 dak-1). Harmanlanmış yakıtlar arasında motor performansı açısından M100 yakıtına en yakın sonuçlar M85B10P5 + EHN yakıtından elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca n-pentanol içeren karma yakıtlar, n-bütanol içeren karışım yakıtlara göre daha iyi performans sonuçları göstermiştir.
