چکیده
This research presents effect of triacetin and ethanol as additive to biodiesel (Neem oil methyl ester) on the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine at different loads and constant engine speed. Compared with biodiesel, slightly lower brake specific energy consumption for triacetin and ethanol bended fuels was observed. At higher engine loads CO,HC and smoke emission were found significantly lower with all blends[BD-1(5% triacetin,95% biodiesel), BD-2(10% triacetin,90% biodiesel) , BE-1(5% ethanol, 95% biodiesels) and BE-2 (10% ethanol ,90% biodiesel)] compared to Biodiesel , but NOx emission were found higher. The triacetin is also antiknock agent and has maximum oxygen content about 53.3%. by this reason combustion of fuel can be improve.
