تجارب في استخدام الكحول كوقود بديل في محركات الديزل لتخفيف التلوث الناتج عنها

This research studies the possibility of using alcohol fuel in diesel engines to decrease their specific consumption and pollution of environment. Many experiments had been performed using an experimental engine injecting it with methanol, diesel fuel, or emulsion of methanol and diesel fuel. The tests showed the possibility of using methanol (with little amounts of diesel fuel) in diesel engines. In general, using alcohol fuel in diesel engines will remarkably decrease the harmful polluting components in the exhaust gases, specially nitrogen oxides NOx and carbon C. The loss in the engine capacity, when using alcohol fuels, can be avoided by increasing the amount of the injected fuel.
