Rapid depletion of petroleum reserves and the environmental pollution caused by the growing use of conventional fuels created a challenge before the world that new type of fuels should replace the conventional fuels to achieve the future emission regulations. Hence great deal of research effort has been focused to find alternative fuel. The consideration of oxygenates with diesel fuel is a recent approach receives great attention in reducing the exhaust emissions of an engine The combustion, performance and emission characteristics of diesel fuel and oxygenated blends with diesel are analyzed in a four stroke naturally aspirated single cylinder direct injection compression ignition engine. The additives include 2-Ethoxyethanol (2EE), DiethyleneGlycol Dimethyl ether (DGM) and 2-Methoxyethanol (2ME) and the oxygenated compounds were selected based on the availability, price and oxygen content. These oxygenated compounds are blended with diesel fuel in proportion of 6% by volume. Combustion parameters such as in-cylinder pressure and Heat release rate were studied. The engine emission characteristics of the Compression ignition (CI) engine fuelling with oxygenated blends are studied experimentally. The performance of oxygenates on thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption were studied. Comparing the combustion, performance and emission, the addition of 2-methoxy ethanol blend shows better performance than other two oxygenated blends with diesel and diesel fuel.

The present work explores the use of argemone mexicana (non-edible and adulterer to mustard oil) biodiesel in multicylinder compression ignition, indirect injection engine. Argemone Mexicana biodiesel was produced by transesterification process and the important physico-chemical properties of various blends were investigated. Blends of diesel/biodiesel (AB10, AB20, AB30 and AB40) were prepared and used for analysing the engine performance and emission characteristics at varying loads (0, 25, 50 and 75%) and speeds (2500–4000 r/min). The results show improvement in indicated thermal efficiency and indicated specific fuel consumption with increased proportion of biodiesel in diesel, when compared to conventional diesel. In addition, exhaust emissions such as carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbon and smoke opacity were significantly reduced by AOME/diesel blends. The improvement in engine performance and exhaust emissions were observed up to 30% blending of AOME/diesel. Beyond that, higher blend (AB40) showed deterioration in performance characteristics in contrast to AB30 but still better as compared to conventional diesel.
