Exhaust gas emissions of butanol, ethanol, and methanol-gasoline blends
Abstract
This paper reports on emissions levels for CO, NO{sub x}, and unburned fuel (UBF) from a stationary four-cylinder Chrysler engine measured under a variety of operating conditions for gasoline and three different 20 vol percent alcohol-gasoline blends. In tests of separate isobutanol, ethanol, and methanol blends, lower CO and CO{sub x} emissions were observed for the alcohol blends relative to gasoline, particularly for fuel-rich operation. Generally, on a volume (mole) basis unburned fuel emissions were highest for methanol blends and lowest for gasoline, but on a mass or OMHCE basis only small differences were noted. For a given fuel, the separate effects of engine speed, load, and equivalence ratio were examined.
