Abstract

The use of alternative fuels in the transport sector can help mitigate the vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this goal, together with a positive energy balance in the global production process of piston coatings and gasoline blends, it is essential that added coatings and gasoline blends to petrol does not reduce the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. The aim of the work has been to characterize the effect of Magnesium Partially Stabilized Zirconium (Mg-PSZ) piston coatings for different gasoline blends of ethanol and butanol on engine behaviour like engine performance parameters efficiencies, and emission characteristics. Blends of proportions of 20% ethanol and 20% butanol gasoline blend has been tested. The engine performance parameters of SFC is 1.78% minimized at B20 for Mg-PSZ, break thermal efficiencies is 4.5% maximized at B20 for Mg-PSZ, emission characteristics of HC is minimized by 2.38% at E20 and CO is minimized by 3.65% at E20 for Mg-PSZ coated piston is compared with the normal piston of gasoline, and gasoline blends at different concentrations have been made through the analysis in the combustion chamber of the testing engine.
