Abstract: Currently, fossil fuel exhaust and the polluted environment are the challenges worldwide; there are many methods, such as using electric vehicles, alternative fuels like solar energy and CNG, or changing the fuel composition like E5, E10 gasoline, etc. However, there is still a lack of documentation related to the impact of fuel composition on engines at different speed ranges. Therefore, this paper uses AVL-Cruise software to simulate an engine operating at various speed ranges from 1800 to 3000 rpm, adding different fuel injections alongside Diesel fuel. The advantages of using new fuels in Diesel engines can be partially assessed based on the simulation results such as power, fuel consumption rate, and engine characteristics when additional fuels are injected to alter the fuel composition.

Keywords: Engine efficiency, Alternative fuels, Combustion process, fuel consumption.
