Experimental Investigation on Four Stoke Diesel Engine Using Diesel - Jatropha / Rice Bran / Soybean Biodiesel Mixture
نویسنده
چکیده
Biodiesel, the methyl ester of vegetable oil is a renewable, low environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine. High oil prices and growing concerns over climate change are driving investment and innovation in the biofuels sector as countries and industry increasingly look towards renewable bioenergy to replace fossil fuels. This study examines fuel properties, performance and exhaust emission of a diesel engine fuelled with three different biodiesel mixtures (i.e, Jatropha, Rice bran and Soybean oils) and their blends with diesel fuel. The results indicate that the calorific value of the blends decrease with an increase in concentration of three biodiesel in the blends. The brake thermal efficiency of diesel fuel is found to be higher, when compared to biodiesel blends. Biodiesel blends gives lower CO and NOx than diesel fuel operation.

A number of studies currently focus on the renewable fuels to reduce the reliance on petroleum fuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol have been studied and tested in many countries including India. One of the methods to reduce the use of fossil fuel is blending ethanol with fossil diesel. However, an emulsifier or a co-solvent is needed to homogenize the diesel-ethanol blends. The ric...
