Study of performance parameters and emissions of four stroke CI engine using solketal-biodiesel blends

Performance and Emissions of a Tractor engine operating on biodiesel-diesel blends with EGR

The influences of different diesel/biodiesel blends and EGR rate on brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature, NO, HC, CO emissions, are studied and demonstrated. In this paper a four stroke direct injection, water cooled, diesel engine was used. Biodiesel either in neat form or as a blend with diesel fuel is extensively investigated to solve the twin problem of reduction ...

Study Of Performance Parameters Of Single Cylinder Four Stroke Spark Ignition Engine Using Gasoline - Ethanol Blends

The transport systems are dependent on the fossil fuels especially liquid fuels and these fuels are depleting at much faster rate than production. The consumption of fossil fuels is very unstable and directly affects the economy of our country as we are importing it from other nations so this factor has urged us to find other alternatives to prolong the usage of petroleum. Thus, by using bio-fu...

Utilization of Biodiesel-Diesel-Ethanol Blends in CI Engine

Combustion Characteristics of CI Engine Running with Biodiesel Blends

Biodiesel is one of the promising renewable, alternative and environmentally friendly biofuels that can be used in diesel engine with little or no modification in the engine. In the present study an experimental investigation has been carried out on the combustion and performance characteristics of a CI engine running with biodiesel under steady state operating conditions. The experimental work...

Effect of Injection Pressure on CI Engine Performance Fuelled with Biodiesel and its blends

Use of biodiesel as an alternative to diesel could reduce the dependency on petroleum products and the pollution problem. The physical properties of the fuel such as viscosity, volatility and f lash point also affect the combustion process, thereby engine performance. Specif ically atomization of the fuel during the injection is attributed to higher viscosity of biodiesel. Injec ted fuel drople...
