Abstract: This experimental study is conducted to investigate the combustion, performance and emissions of a diesel engine fueled with different alternative fuels under five engine loads and at an engine speed of 1800 rpm. Seven fuels, including diesel (D), waste cooking oil biodiesel (B), methanol (M), ethanol (E), 2-propanol (Pr), n-butanol (Bu) and n-pentanol (Pe)) were used to produce six blended fuels, labelled as DB, DBM, DBE, DBPr, DBBu and DBPe. Each blended fuel has the same oxygen content of 5.0% and very close carbon and hydrogen contents and LHV.
