A research study on the combustion and performance of Mosambi peel pyro oil diesel blend with methanol enrichment in diesel engine

Abstract

ABSTRACT Because of their great capability and consistent quality, Diesel engines are commonly employed in Industrial regions, Transportation sectors, and Agricultural fields. The main disadvantage of this engine is the excessive amount of smoke and nitrogen oxide emissions. As a result, Mosambi Peel Pyro oil (MPO) was blended in varying quantities with straight diesel. Methanol enrichment was used to test D90MPO10 (10% MPO +90% Diesel), D90MPO10M21 (10% MPO +90% Diesel +21% Methanol), and D90MPO10M22 (10% MPO +90% Diesel +22% Methanol)Oil parameters.The ultimate, proximate, and FTIR analyses, as well as viscosity, density, flash point, and fire point, are estimated. D90MPO10, D90MPO10M21, and D90MPO10M22 are diesel engine fuels, and D90MPO10M22‘s combustion and emission performance are investigated. It was shown that using D90MPO10 as pilot fuel and methanol as an induction fuel in diesel engines resulted in lower smoke levels (3.5%) and increased thermal efficiency (2.5%) with no significant Performance Degradation.
