Abstract
These have been much interest in the use of vegetable oils as diesel fuel since they are domestically produced and are a renewable energy source. The present work describes the results of experiments using stable water-emulsified rapeseed oils and gas oil in a swirl-chamber diesel engine. Furthermore, NOx, HC, CO, and smoke emissions and energy consumption are compared with experimental values from a direct-injection diesel engine with no changes in engine equipment. The results show that a swirl-chamber diesel engine is more appropriate for use with water-emulsified rapeseed oils with regard to NOx, HC, CO, and smoke emissions and BTE. In addition, NOx and smoke emissions of emulsified rapeseed oil are lower than those of gas oil in a swirl-chamber diesel engine.
