India Abstract _____________________________________________________________________________ Growing population and increase in the consumption of fuel lead to think over some alternative that can be used in place or along with the gasoline fuel. Alcohols (Ethanol, Methanol etc.) can be a good alternative for this. Main objective of the study is to analyse the performance of bike by using ethanol- gasoline blend and HHO generator at a same time. Experiment is performed on a single cylinder 4 stroke bike . Different Ethanol blends ( E0 to E20) are used for the experimentation. The result tell us that by using ethanol blending, BTE increases and BSFC and exhaust emission decreases slightly. Also E5 and E15 gives good results compared to pure gasoline. Keywords :- Blended fuel, HHO generator, BTE, BSFC __________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION We all know our conventional fuel resources are decreasing continuously. Growing demand of automobile is one of the important reason of decreasing fuel resources. therefore, it is very necessary to have some alternative fuel that can be used in place of gasoline/ diesel fuel. LPG, CNG, Biodiesel Alcohol fuel, Synthetic fuel etc. can be the alternative fuel. Alcohols (ethanol blend) because of its high octane rating and high heat of evaporation, is best for spark ignition engine. Major advantage of using ethanol blends in low proportion is that, there is no requirement of any modification of engine for that. Also ethanol fuel is produce from the renewable energy source like agriculture feedstock. Table 1. Characteristics of Petrol and Ethenol Sr. No. Character Petrol/ Gasoline Ethanol 1 Specific Gravity 0.7-0.78 0.794 2 Density 700-780 790 3 Cetane rating 0-10 8 4 Octane rating 80-99 100 5 Ignition temperature 390-420° C 423°C A number of researcher do experimental study on the use of ethanol blends and their effect on the performance of SI engine. Anand Modi and Amit agarwal [1]study the effect of different ethanol blends on the performance of SI engine. Results tell us that BSFC decreases up-to E10 blending and then increase, Similarly BTE increases up-to E10 blending and then decrease. Praveen maruthur and Akhil Das[2] observed that when ethanol is mixed with camphor, then performance of bike increase and slight reduction in the exhaust emission. Thermal efficiency increases and fuel consumption decreases when camphor is used in gasoline. P. Raghuthama Rao [3] do an experimental study on how ethanol blended fuel helps in the reduction of the exhaust emission in SI engine. The emission of CO, CO 2 ,HC decreases when ethanol blends are used. Best results are obtained when E15 blend is used. M.A Kalam, B.M Masum made ex experimental study on the exhaust of the NOx emission by using ethanol blends. Apart from the bike performance, ethanol helps in the reduction of the exhaust
