Abstract
AbstractAlternate fuel research is aimed at improving the eminence of combustion behavior. This result focusses on the effects of injector hole number and antioxidant additives on combustion properties of diesel engine fueled with kapok methyl ester blends. Forty percent blend of kapok methyl ester was examined with a single cylinder diesel engine. The parameters of combustion such as peak pressure, net heat release, mean gas temperature were recorded and the influence of nozzle hole number and additives on the above said properties were thoroughly analyzed. From the experimental results it is evident that 6 hole nozzle along with B40 blended with 1000 ppm of tertiary butyl hydro quinone produced highest heat release rate of 102 J/°CA. Propyl gallate exhibited its lowest BSFC of 0.269 kg/kW h with B40 blend at minimum load.
