Abstract

A single-cylinder engine has been run on hexane-gasoline and xylene-gasoline blends, and total Hydrocarbons (HC) emissions have been measured by FID. The results show that total HC emissions for hexane-gasoline blends are lower than that of gasoline. The total HC emissions for xylene-gasoline blends are higher than that of gasoline. It is shown that Henry's constant, diffusion coefficient and distillation temperature of fuel components dominate the mass of in-cylinder unburned hydrocarbons which is influenced by fuel. The compositions of fuel greatly influence the engine-out HC emissions.
