The Effect of Additives on Diesel Engine Emissions: An Experimental Investigation

This research work investigates that the emission characteristics of diesel engine by using additive Diisopropyl ether with neat diesel. The additives are mixed with standard diesel in the concentration of 5%, 10% and15% respectively. By using Diisopropyl ether, the emission of exhaust gases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides were reduced when compared with neat diesel. Slight increase in the hydro carbon emission was observed.
