Abstract
The discovery of internal combustion engine, successive usage and developments in engine technology led to wide spread utilization of petroleum reserves. Moreover, the combustion of these fuels has unhygienic the environment, and hence in the ambient air call for renewable and less polluting substitutes. The experimental investigation were conducted on Kirloskar TV-I, single cylinder, four stroke, steady speed, water cooled diesel engine. In the present work, the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine were studied using diesel as a prime component and bioadditives in various ratios such as 1ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml, 2.5ml and 3.0ml per litre respectively. The performance and emission characteristics of neat diesel are compared with those of bioadditives blends. The results indicate the increase of engine thermal efficiency and the fuel utilization slightly lowered. The emissions such as NOx and smoke density values are lowered withthe use of bio- additives.
