Abstract

Due to the recent developments of improved production methods of 2,5-dimethylfuran, (known as DMF) from waste biomass, it is being considered as a next-generation biofuel. Energy content of DMF is comparable to that of gasoline. Test data available in the literature for its behavior in SI engines are limited. Therefore, in present work, a comparative evaluation of physico-chemical properties and engine performance of 5 % blend of DMF in gasoline (v/v), with gasoline and 10 % blend of ethanol in gasoline (v/v) has been carried out. Results show that 5 % blend of DMF in gasoline (v/v) offers a comparable performance and lesser tail pipe emissions than gasoline.
