An experimental investigation has been carried out to investigate the effects of adding very low viscosity renewable fuel of Di-Ethyl Ether (DEE) to a 30% water-in-diesel emulsion on the diesel engine combustion characteristics. A research engine of Ricardo E-6 has been used throughout the work and the water-diesel emulsion (W/D emulsion) has been prepared to have four weeks of fuel stability. The W/D emulsion then mixed with the low viscosity additive to reduce the viscosity of the W/D emulsion. Diesel engine combustion pressure and other engine parameters, have been collected by data-acquisition systems and the maximum pressure rise rate has been calculated. It has been found that adding the DEE to the W/D emulsion affected its viscosity and affected the combustion as noticed from the combustion pressures and pressure rise rates. Using an additive like the DEE enables the use of W/D emulsion in diesel engine with high amount of water of 30% with acceptable combustion characteristics.
