ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this work, some fuel properties of locally produced ethanol from sweet potato waste were experimentally determined to establish their suitability for use in compression ignition(CI) engines. Five blends (E\u00ad5<\/sub>, E10<\/sub>, E15<\/sub>, E20<\/sub> and E30<\/sub>) of ethanol with petrol (by volume) were used. The properties determined were Density (0.754kg\/m3)<\/sup>, Boiling point (73), Flash point (35 ), Pour Point (15), Viscosity (1.0mPas), Cloud point(-8 ), Fire point (30 ), Calorific value (35086.78kJ\/kg). These results showed that both the density and viscosity of the blends decreased as the ethanol content in the blends increased. The Cloud Point was found to be -8 for all the blends and gasoline, while the Pour Point of 15 was obtained for gasoline and blends with E5<\/sub>, E10<\/sub>, E15<\/sub>, E20<\/sub>and E30<\/sub> ethanol content, respectively. Flash point of 35 was obtained for diesel and the ethanol-gasoline blends with E5<\/sub>, E10<\/sub>, E15<\/sub>, E20<\/sub>, E30<\/sub> ethanol respectively. Calorific value of 35086.78, 33744.65, 30315.77, 30238.10 and 27,969.16kJ\/kg were obtained for ethanol-gasoline blends. Based on the findings of this study, blends with E5<\/sub>, E10<\/sub>, E15<\/sub>, E20<\/sub>, E30 <\/sub>percent ethanol content were found to have acceptable fuel properties for use as supplementary fuel in CI engines. The volume of ethanol produced from 500g of the sample was 730cm3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeywords: <\/strong>Bioethanol, Potato waste, Compression Ignition (CI) engines, Calorific value, Fire point.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
