Abstract

In the present work, effect injection timing (IT) on the modified dual fuel (DF) engine performance with effective utilization of biodiesel and gaseous fuel combinations is reported. Biodiesel prepared Ceiba Pentandra oil called Ceiba Pentandra oil methyl ester (CPNTOME) and its B20 blend (CPNTOME B20) are used as pilot injected fuels while the biogas (raw and purified) is used as the inducted fuel in the modified DF engine. Hence, the present research focus on the study of DF engine performance fuelled with liquid and gaseous fuel combinations. Meanwhile, the effect of IT on modified DF engine performance is investigated. Brake thermal efficiency (BTE), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and smoke emissions were found to be less besides higher emissions of NOx were observed. Combustion parameters such as ignition delay (ID), and peak pressure (PP) are analysed. The DF engine operated on renewable fuel combinations in DF mode can cover the way for partial substitution of fossil fuel along with reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Advancing the IT improves the DF engine performance and reduces the smoke, CO and NOx emissions.
