performance and emission evaluation of diesel engine fueled with vegetable oil

Authors
abstract

various combustion characteristics and properties are studied while selecting a fuel for any engine. the choice of the engine and fuel are highly interrelated. vegetable oil is one obvious fuel particularly because their fuel properties are closer to diesel fuel. two important properties, the cetane number and the calorific value are similar to diesel. hence diesel engines can be operated on vegetable oil without modification. to ascertain the possibility of use of modified karanja oil as fuel for compression ignition engine the performance test were conducted. the comparison of the test fuels made with diesel fuel. test fuels’ performance analyzed for esters of karanja oil, blends of karanja oil, and the diesel oil as baseline at varying loads performed at governor controlled speed. the variations in the injection parameters were analyzed to observe its influence on the engine performance with different fuels. experimental results show that diesel engine gives poor performance at lower injection pressure than esterified karanja oil and its blends with diesel. specific energy consumption is a more reliable parameter for comparison. meko and 50ko which shown comparable energy required per kw power than diesel fuel it may be due to lower calorific value of meko. comparable smoke found for karanja oil methyl ester with that of diesel fuel. smoke emission increases with increase in engine load due to overall richer combustion, longer duration of diffusion combustion phase and reduced oxygen concentration.

Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine with Cottonseed Oil Plus Diesel Oil Blends

aIn the present study a 4-stroke 5hp diesel engine was tested with Diesel oil plus cottonseed oil blends. The blends in different proportions (10 to 50 percent by volume) were tested at constant speed of 1500 rpm. The said engine is operated at different loads and characteristics like Brake power, Brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption etc. Engine performance for blends resulted in...

Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fueled with Ethanol-Diesel Blends in Different Altitude Regions

In order to investigate the effects ethanol-diesel blends and altitude on the performance and emissions of diesel engine, the comparative experiments were carried out on the bench of turbo-charged diesel engine fueled with pure diesel (as prototype) and ethanol-diesel blends (E10, E15, E20 and E30) under different atmospheric pressures (81 kPa, 90 kPa and 100 kPa). The experimental results indi...

Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Slow Speed Diesel Engine Fueled With Soybean Bio Diesel

Fossil fuels have given us utility and continued their role in a variety of areas, but rapid depletion of these fossil fuels directs the researchers to find alternative fuels for the present energy crisis. In this perspective a Bio-diesel came in to existence which meets the present energy demand and emission norms. Biodiesel is a non–toxic, biodegradable and renewable alternative fuel that can...

Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine fueled with Diesel-biodiesel-JP-4 Blends

The main objective of this research is to study the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel fuel blends and operating parameters on the emission characteristics of a CI engine. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was used to develop mathematical models based on experimental data. The results showed that with the increase of the biodiesel pr...

Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of OM314 Diesel Engine Combustion and Performance Characteristics Fueled with DME

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is a pioneer method of combustion in which pre-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto-ignition. HCCI engines can operate with most alternative fuels, especially, dimethyl ether (DME) which has been tested as a possible diesel fuel due to its simultaneously low NOx and PM emissions. In this paper a ...
