Abstract

AbstractThe present study aims on onsite production of hydrogen using electrolysis process in series and using temporary storage to store the gas and induce it at the required flow rate through the inlet manifold in a dual‐fueled engine along with injecting sapodilla oil through the fuel injector. Sapodilla oil biodiesel is prepared via conventional transesterification with standard operating conditions (65°C) reaction temperature, 3 h reaction time, 1.5% by wt. catalyst and 6:1 molar ratio). Diesel, B100 (100% biodiesel), B100 with two sets of hydrogen induction have been tested for its performance and emissions. Through this analysis it was found that the gas emission such as CO, HC, CO2 was greatly reduced compared to the diesel and sapodilla oil when hydrogen was induced but resulted in increase in NOx emission. There was improvement in parameters with increase in hydrogen induction.
