Combustion of oxygenated fuel with ethanol, ETBE and dimethyl carbonate.
For rich A/F ratios, the ETBE presents the highest exhaust temperatures.
At lean mixtures, oxygenated fuels decrease the possibility of misfiring.
Cooling effect of oxygenates overcoming the decrease in calorific power.
EtOH and DMC burned 5–10% faster than ETBE and baseline under lean conditions.
