    A Review Study on the Using of Diethyl Ether in Diesel Engines: Effects on CO2 Emissions

    Sezer, İsmet

    Vehicle and other fuel combustion emissions can change the composition of the atmosphere, increasing its ability to trap heat. Gases that are effective in trapping heat are called greenhouse gases and include all of the gases in vehicle emissions. The major component of greenhouse gases emissions is carbon dioxide (CO2). Reduction of CO2 emissions has become a concern worldwide. Introduction of biofuels to fueling of automotive engines is the one method to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases. The CO2 from biofuels, is emitted during combustion and absorbed during growth of tree end plants. These biofuels can be applied as blends or sole fuels. The most researches declare that the best way to reduce greenhouse emissions is the use of various biofuels. Therefore, it is very important that the results of various studies on alternative fuels or fuel additives are evaluated together to practice applications. On the other hand, diesel cars are also helping to reduce CO2 emissions. For these reasons, this study especially focuses on the use diethyl ether in diesel engines as fuel or fuel additive in various diesel engine fuels. This review study investigates the effects of diethyl ether addition on the CO2 emissions.

    3Bio-Based Additives to Improve Diesel Engine Performance and Emissions

    Sezer, İsmet

    This study investigates addition of ethanol and diethyl ether into diesel fuel. Base fuel and three different blends were used in the tests. The experiments were performed at engine speed of 1500 rpm and under various loads by single cylinder diesel engine. Injection, combustion, performance and emissions parameters were evaluated for base fuel and blends. Results show that injection pressure decreases for all blends, and DEE addition causes delay in injection timing. Burnt mass fraction is lower for ethanol and DEE blends during early combustion phase, while it increases with DEE blends during progressive combustion phase. Ethanol and DEE blends also give reductions in cylinder pressure and temperature. Generally, air excess coefficients increase but exhaust gas temperature decreases when using ethanol and DEE blends. Although ethanol blend causes decrements in engine power and torque, DEE blends give closer values to diesel fuel. Both ethanol and DEE blends yield improvement in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in brake specific fuel consumption. When using fuel blends, generally, decrements in NOx and CO2 emissions and increments in HC emission occur, while CO emission shows fluctuations depending on engine load.
