A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that operates using the diesel cycle. Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of any internal or external combustion engine, because of their compression ratio.
Go green is a term that is being used very frequently everywhere. everyone in the world is becoming more and more energy conscious. People everywhere are switching to renewable sources of energy with the petroleum fast depleting and the prices sky rocketing. There are attempts being made to switch to alternate sources of energy.
During the past year, a systematic experimental study of various oxygenated molecules on engine performance was carried out using oxygenates from the main functional families: ethers, esters, aldehydes, alcohols and ketones. Diethyl ether appears as a considerable choice among many available oxygenates as a supplementary fuel of choice for eliminating dependency on petroleum. DEE is also recently reported as a renewable fuel and to a low emission high quality diesel fuel replacement.
An interesting experiment carried on diesel engines using blends of diehtyl ether, diesel and diethyl ether and bio diesel yielded the results that are summarized in the article below :
