ABSTRACT In this work, two oxygenated additives like Cyclohexylamine and n-butyl alcohol are identified for the experimental investigation by blending them to 5 ml with gasoline sole fuel. The performance and emission analysis were investigated in twin cylinder SI engine. The physical and chemical properties of the gasoline fuel with additives are tested through ASTM standards and reported. From the experimental results, it was found that brake thermal efficiency increased to 1-1.5% and NOx emission found increased in the both cases. Emissions like HC and CO reduced to 6-7% and 11-22%, respectively for addition of Cyclohexylamine and n-butyl alcohol. KEYWORDS: Gasoline engine, Cyclohexylamine, n-butyl alcohol, Performance, Emission.
