An experimental study on emission of a diesel engine fuelled with SME (safflower methyl ester) and diesel fuel

In this study, safflower methyl ester (SME), which is an alternative fuel, was obtained from seed oil (SO) for a CI engine by using transesterification method. The use of the produced fuel in air-cooled single-cylinder diesel investigated. SME blended with at rate 20% and 50% (vol.) also 100% used. BSFC, NOX, CO, smoke density, HC, EGT, BTE, vibration thermal image analyses were made test engines. first stage, mixtures used volumetrically. second experiments repeated coating combustion chamber elements same chromium oxide plasma spray It determined that HC decreased but EGT increased all fuels coated compared to standard engine. emission values its except NOX fuel. Safflower seeds can be grown easily many parts world considered as
