Abstract
ABSTRACTThis research paper deals with the comparative study of enzymatic degummed linseed methyl ester (EDLME), water degummed linseed methyl ester and non-degummed linseed methyl ester with their different diesel blends on performances parameters such as brake power and brake specific fuel consumption. Emissions characterization such as unburned hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and smoke opacity were also measured. It was found that the 25% blend of EDLME with diesel is the best alternative for the diesel fuel based on overall performance in terms of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, EDLME25 (25% blend of EDLME with 75% diesel) can be considered as an alternative fuel for diesel engines.
