Abstract:
Two stroke engines are extensively used in coastal regions by transportation ships and pleasure boats. Twenty to thirty percent of fuel and lubricating oil remain unburnt. This is even worse when the engine is operating at low speeds, about 40 percent of the unburnt fuel emitted directly in to the water. Lubricants plays major role in defining the percentage of exhaust pollutants because in conventional 2-stroke internal combustion engines oil is burned with gasoline or diesel. With the increase in motorization of world the need for switching to alternative fuel has increased because petroleum is a nonrenewable resource. Methanol is a great alternative fuel with low carbon content in its emission. This paper focuses on the use of methanol instead of using gasoline and diesel in 2-stroke internal combustion engine, with the use of different types of lubricants with a perception to reduce air pollution as well as reducing the consumption of gasoline by analyzing their performance.
