Experimental Investigation on a Diesel Engine Fuelled With Orange Oil Diesel Blends Using E.G.R. System

Abstract: As day by day there is technological development seen all around world, the research work is progressing but the resources involved in them are depleting rapidly .The demand of resources and fuels for the technological development is increasing day by day. In order to keep the pace of development high there is a need to think about some alternate fuel with better efficiency which would help overcome the demand keeping in mind the resources for the future generation. An alternate fuel needs to be developed and researched upon which could help us get greener and better tomorrow. One of the reasons for this is emission of exhaust gases like NOX, CO, HC, etc., from I.C Engines. The amount of NOx formed is lesser when the blends of biodiesel are used. But Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) for biodiesel blends the formation of NOx is comparatively reduced and also thermodynamic efficiency of the engine is increased. This work highlights upon the usage of Orange oil as alternative fuel for a compression ignition engine and study the performance and emission characteristics of this fuel with Exhaust Gas Recirculation system at different quantities of EGR rates with different loads.
