In substitution of petroleum-based diesel,&nbsp;biodiesel and ethanol have been explored in many studies. In this paper, diesel-palm&nbsp;biodiesel-ethanol has been used together at different proportion to execute performanceemission characteristics and their trade-off study at different brake power. An&nbsp;experimental investigation is carried out for different diesel-palm biodiesel-ethanol&nbsp;blends ranging by volume of 5-10% ethanol, 5-25% biodiesel and 65-90% baseline diesel.&nbsp;From the experimental results, comparatively, low brake specific fuel consumption&nbsp;(BSEC) has been observed for all 5% ethanol-blended fuels. Maximum reduction in&nbsp;BSEC has been observed 1.9, 2, and 3.24 % at 0.68, 2.05, and 3.42 kW respectively. At&nbsp;medium to high load, brake thermal efficiency (BTE) has been found higher for lower&nbsp;ethanol fraction. As compared to diesel, the highest nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction have&nbsp;been found 13.7, 9.17, and 4.7 % at 0.68, 2.05, and 3.42 kW respectively. At last,&nbsp;performance-emission trade-off shows that D70B25E5 blend has a higher BTE with&nbsp;maximum reduction in unburnt hydrocarbon (UHC) and NOx emissions.&nbsp;</p> ER -
