Abstract: This article presents the results of an investigation of neat 1-Octanol and its blends with Diesel, which can be potential drop-in fuels for heavy-duty compression ignition engines. Fuel blends consisting of 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % 1-Octanol by volume in Diesel, including neat 1-Octanol, were investigated for ignition and combustion performances. The ignition behavior was assessed using a constant-volume combustion-chamber-based ignition tester. The experimental investigation was conducted on a heavy-duty single-cylinder engine by varying the combustion center. In addition, injection-rate shaping was performed to understand the effects of various injection-rate shapes, namely square, ramp, and boot rate shapes, on the performance of neat 1-Octanol.
