Abstract

In this work the experiment was carried out to investigate the performance, combustion and emissions by changing the number of nozzle holes of the injector such as 3 hole, 4 hole and 5 hole by maintaining the hole diameter as 0.25mm. The experiments are executed on Kirloskar 4-stroke computerized single cylinder air cooled and electrical dynamometer coupled DI diesel engine with diesel, Rubber seed methyl ester and B20 Blend as fuels at 1500 rpm, with the injection timing of 23.4°BTDC with an injection pressure of 240 bar maintained constant throughout the experiment. It is found that 4 hole nozzle gives higher brake thermal efficiency, lower specific fuel consumption, CO, HC, for Diesel, Biodiesel and B20 Blend compared with other two nozzle holes. However the NOX got increased which is more for all the tested fuels by varying a number of nozzle hole diameter.
