摘要：Spark ignition engine uses derived fuel from petroleum products, depleting of this source as drawn the attention of researchers to find alternative renewable energy sources which could be as additive to petroleum-based fuels. Butanol, when compared to methanol and ethanol, has heating value and octane rating close to that of gasoline. In this study, n-butanol was considered as an additive with gasoline. The engine performance was steered on a TD110-115 single cylinder, four-stroke aircooled spark ignition engine test rig, at different loading conditions. The blends used for the analysis were 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20%. The blends showed slight reduction in the torque, brake power and exhaust temperature, except for GB4 and GB8 blends. These two blends showed similar torque and brake power performance to those of gasoline at 500 g and 1000 g loading conditions. It was also observed that all the blends exhibited high fuel consumption and lower air–fuel ratio. All blends ran smoothly on spark-ignition engine.
