Abstract
The impact of the magnetic field on the performance of (CI engine) is investigated experimentally in this study. Thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) and exhaust emissions were measured for Iraqi diesel fuel and methanol blends. The fuel was subjected to a magnetic field of (2000 Gauss), respectively. The magnetic field was placed on fuel supply line to magnetize the fuel before injected into the combustion chamber. Four strokes and cylinders, direct injection engine was used in this study.
A reduction in fuel consumption up to (2.19%) and (5.488%), brake thermal efficiency rose by about (13.5%) and (4.7%), for 10% and 20% methanol added to diesel, respectively. The exhaust temperature increased up to (3.65%) and (1.7%) 10% and 20% methanol added to diesel, respectively.
