Five different gasoline-ethanol fuel blend rates by volume are prepared. The Image of the spray is captured using schlieren imaging technique and image processing is employed to extract macro spray characteristics- spray tip penetration and spray cone angle. Based on the extracted tip penetration and cone angles E55 gasoline-ethanol blend found out to have the largest cone angle and tip penetration among the tested blends. %Z cited By 2; Conference of 2009 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications, ICSIPA09 ; Conference Date: 18 November 2009 Through 19 November 2009; Conference Code:81054
