Review of N butyl Acetate as Promissive Alternative Fuel in Spark Ignition Engine

Abstract

The expanding urbanization in the world is increasing the energy demand. The use of vehicles has been considerably increased in the past few years. Gasoline is the major fuel used in most of the vehicles and contributes to pollution. As gasoline is a non renewable energy source its reserves will deplish in upcoming years, to reduce the use of gasoline and to find an alternative to gasoline, this review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the experimental investigations of n-butyl acetate combustion with gasoline blends in spark ignition engines. The use of biofuels in spark ignition engines has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. In this paper, we present a detailed review of the experimental studies that have been conducted to investigate the combustion characteristics of n-butyl acetate and gasoline blends in spark ignition engines. The review includes the effects of various engine operating conditions such as engine speed, load, and compression ratio on the combustion performance, emissions, and efficiency of the blends. Esters are among the biofuels that are being evaluated for blending with petrol. Their manufacture may be environmentally responsible and renewable. About concerns of freezing, boiling, and flash points, N butyl acetate in particular has advantageous features as a sustainable biofuel substitute fuel to petroleum fuels. To generate butyl acetate in the numbers required to meet the demands of the transportation sector, a sustainable method of production must be created. The Fischer esterification technique is the traditional method for making butyl acetate.
