Abstract
AbstractThe research paper focuses on performance and emission analysis of cottonseed biodiesel and diesel blends on DICI-VCR engine. The blends of cottonseed biodiesel and diesel were prepared in proportions of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 50:50. The experimentation was performed at full throttle condition by using different compression ratios of 16:1, 17:1, and 18:1. The suitability and quality of blends were tested at the preliminary stage and further experimentation conducted to assess the characteristics of DICI-VCR engine. The physiochemical properties of blends were found within the permissible limits as prescribed by ASTM standards. Results showed that highest 33.05% BTE for B30 at 16:1 CR, mechanical efficiency 73.13% at 18:1 CR for B20 blend, volumetric efficiency 76.69% observed at 16:1 CR, AFR 79.36 observed for B20 blend at 18:1 CR, and BSFC 0.84 kg/kWh observed for multiple blends in all compression ratios. Overall blend 20:80 showed optimum results at 18:1 compression ratio. The percentage errors with their permissible ASTM limits were provided.KeywordsDieselBlendsCottonseed biodieselEngine performanceVCR engine
