The search for an alternative fuel is one of the needs for sustainable development, energy conservation, efficiency, management and environmental preservation. Therefore, any attempt to reduce the consumption of petrol and diesel possible alternative fuels is mostly preferable. Acetylene is one of the tested fuels. It is well known that acetylene is a high flammable and explosive compound. In comparison with commercial liquid fuels, very wide flammability limits and a low Octane Number have relegated the acetylene into the “Iperdetonat” fuels category. The present project includes acetylene and Ethanol blend fuel avoiding knocking for an internal combustion engine. The project investigates working of IC engine on acetylene and Ethanol blend fuel with minor fuel supply system changes. For measuring performance parameter E20 Ethanol blend and Acetylene with 1L/min flow rate were used as a fuel. Results concludes 6% increasing in thermal efficiency. However brake specific fuel consumption increases and volumetric efficiency found to be on decreasing side.
