This paper studies the use of RSM (response surface methodology) to optimize the performance parameters and exhaust emissions of a SI (spark ignition) engine which operates with ethanol–gasoline blends of 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15% called E5, E7.5, E10, E12.5 and E15. In the experiments, the engin...
