• The current study investigates the feasibility of substituting dimethyl ether for diesel in a stationary single-cylinder CI engine. A significant part of the world’s energy requirements is met by fossil fuels, which are depleting at an alarming rate. Poisonous pollutant emissions, as well as global warming, necessitate the search for a suitable, cost-effective, and sustainable renewable alternative source of energy. Di-methyl Ether seems to be a promising renewable source of energy that is less polluting and eco-friendly. It is also a potential hydrogen carrier for the future possible hydrogen economy. In present Investigation the performance and emission characteristics of the four stroke single cylinder water cooled VCR Engine at fixed compression ratio is studied in dual fuel operation using DME and diesel. DME is inducted into the intake manifold of the engine to get mixed up with air using timed manifold injection with injection durations of 3, 4, and 5 ms. Brake thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake specific Energy consumption (BSEC), Incylinder pressure, and emissions were analyzed. Dual fuel operations were performed at standard Diesel operation parameters generated a need to optimize the controlling parameters of ignition.
