Performance and Emission Characteristics of Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) Engine with Diesel-Butanol and Gasoline Blends
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition, or RCCI, combustion in internal combustion engines offers a practical way to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency. This study investigates the environmental impacts of RCCI combustion using Indian fuel combined with butanol biodiesel. Through intensive testing and analysis, the study assesses the emissions performance, combustion characteristics, and environmental impacts of this novel fuel blend. The results demonstrate a notable decrease in particulate matter, greenhouse gas emissions, and other dangerous pollutants when compared to conventional diesel combustion. Additionally, butanol biodiesel, which is produced from sustainable feedstocks, has the potential to lessen the harm that conventional fossil fuels cause to the environment. The findings suggest that burning RCCI with Indian fuel and butanol biodiesel could encourage a more sustainable and ecologically friendly transportation sector, which would support environmental conservation initiatives.
