In this paper an effort has been made to simulate the combustion and performance of a turbocharged diesel engine fuelled with oxygenate blended diesel. In this simulation a comprehensive analysis of combustion, heat release, heat transfer and performance of a turbocharged diesel engine was carried out with Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (Diglyme) blended diesel. The CI engine cycle was simulated for both neat diesel and oxygenate blended diesel fuel operations with a closer duration of each degree crank angle. Heat release was calculated using WIEBE's heat release model under the consideration of two-zone combustion. The thermodynamic property at each degree crank angle was calculated based on the first law of thermodynamics. The fluid motion is considered with swirl inside the engine cylinder. The gas-wall heat transfer calculations are based on ANNAND's heat transfer model for IC engines.
