Research preparing additive package for diesohol fuel
Abstract
This paper presents the results on selection of emulsifiers and the influences of temperature, stirring speed, water content on the formation and stability of the micro-emulsion of ethanol in diesel (diesohol fuel). Additives are based on the combination of oleic acid, ammo alcohols supplemented with 2-ethyl hexyl niưate (as cetane index improvers) and tolyltriazol (as corrosion inhibitor). The additives exhibit good emulsification and antỉcoưosion. Diesohol fuel containing 5-7 % ethanol in diesel is suitable for unmodified diesel engine.
