Abstract


Increasing the octane number of combustion machines by adding some chemicals and studying the effect of these additives on the internal combustion efficiency of the machines taking the consideration of surrounding conditions are present in this reserch. Laboratory’s conditions have directly affected to the physical properties of the fuel. After adding the chemical additives, gasoline have been inflow to the distillation unit to increase the efficiency and to identify the suitability of the additives with gasoline and their impact on internal combustion, as the difference between the two cases was observed. Different ratios were selected with a variety of chemicals such as methanol ethanol and AHA (belonging to the researchers and an unknown chemical formula) for the analysis of experimental data. The results showed the effect of additives the octane number and alteration in the physical properties of the fuel and at the same time on the properties of the engine. The results could be utalized to determine the chemical additives that increase the octane number and the efficiency of internal combustion of the machines as well as to determine the emissions of some gases. It is exposed that adding 2% of AHA to fuel have raised the octane number by 2.7 (3.09‎%) in warm areas, this ratio can be increased in cold areas. The analysis results data have done within the limits of global and environmental safety determinants.
