Abstract :
In recent days, increase in usage of fossil fuels leads to rapid increase in the amount of emission from the
engine which propels the researchers to develop an alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel is considered as potential
alternative to regular fossil fuels to reduce emission in compromise with in the engine performance. To overcome
this conflict in this research, we have studied the effect of using oxygenated fuel such as 2-Ethoxy Ethanol and 2-
Methoxy Methanol with diesel as additive and the emission parameters of the engine such as Carbon monoxide,
smoke, Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide and Oxides of Nitrogen emissions are studied in detail. The results shows
the reduction in smoke by 50% at lower speeds a further continues to reduce till 28% at higher RPMs. Similarly HC
emission also showed reduced numbers from 44.22 ppm to 23.61 ppm at low speeds and 20.87 ppm to 7.35 ppm at
high speeds. There was similar trend found in CO and CO2 emission. The oxygen present in the additive aim to
increase in the NOx emission from 32 ppm to 36 ppm in low speeds and 15 ppm to 16 ppm at high speeds.
