    The document describes an experiment conducted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Engineering and Technology. The experiment tested the performance and emissions of an engine fueled with gasoline and ethanol blends containing 6% and 12% ethanol by volume. Tests measured parameters like brake power, fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature, and emissions of CO, CO2, HC and NOx. Results showed that the higher ethanol blend increased power and efficiency but also increased fuel consumption and emissions. Lubricating oil analysis found that the properties and metal particles in the oil decreased more with the higher ethanol blend fuel.

    Conclusion
    ➢ Engine performance:

    The increase in ethanol ratio (E0 to E12) resulted in:

    • Increase in Torque (12.6%)


    • Increase in thermal efficiency (3.45%) and exhaust gas temperature (29%)
    • Increase in BSEC (6.8%)

    ➢ Engine Emissions:

    The increase in ethanol ratio (E0 to E12) resulted in:

    • Decrease in CO (27%) and HC (29%) emissions


    • Increase in CO2 (41%) and NOx (49%) emissions

    Conclusion
    Lubricating Oil Degradation

    ➢ Kinematic Viscosity (K.V.) and Flash point (F.P.) temperature of lube oil decreased for
    all tested fuels as compared to fresh oil. It can be accredited to high combustion
    temperature and oil oxidation promoted due to ethanol presence in fuel.

    ➢ Total Base Number (TBN) of lube oil also decreased for all tested fuels (E0, E6 and
    E12). TBN decreased with increasing ethanol ratio in fuel blend due to more acid
    formation in lube oil.

    ➢ Highest metal particles were found in lube oil for E12 fuel as Fe (27×10-6), Al (12×10-
    6), and Cu (16×10-6)
