Performance Study of Used Cooking Oil Bio Diesel Blends on Peugeot Engine
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents performance study of Peugeot MM540 diesel engine using biodiesel prepared from used cooking oil. Transesterification process is followed to produce bio diesel and is blended with diesel in different proportion of 22:78 and 24:76 by volume and named as blend B22 and B24 respectively. Engine was run at different loads (0, 15, 30, 35, and 40kg) with constant speed of 1000rpm separately on each blend and on pure diesel. Comparing the performance graphs of specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency, it is observed that blends of B22 and B24 agree very closely with the performance characteristics of the engine when run on pure diesel. Thus it is recommended to use biodiesel blends in Peugeot MM540 C I engines for better fuel economy.

متن کاملExperimental Studies on the Combustion and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine Fuelled with Used Cooking Oil Methyl Esterand its Diesel Blends
Transesterified vegetable oils (biodiesel) are promising alternative fuel for diesel engines. Used vegetable oils are disposed from restaurants in large quantities. But higher viscosity restricts their direct use in diesel engines. In this study, used cooking oil was dehydrated and then transesterified using an alkaline catalyst. The combustion, performance and emission characteristics of Used ...
