Abstract
Using different ethanol-gasoline fuel blends, a VARICOMP engine was us ed to study the effect of varying the compression ratio on SI engine p erformance. The performance tests were carried out using different per centages of ethanol in gasoline fuel, up to 40%, under variable compre ssion ratio conditions. The results show that the engine indicated pow er improves with the percentage addition of the ethanol in the fuel bl end. The maximum improvement occurs at 10% ethanol-90% gasoline fuel b lend.
