Performance and emissions characteristics of biodiesel in diesel engine

Abstract

The climate and fuel supply have been problematic emphasis on alternative fuels for combustion engines. Different research studies tested various alternative fuels. In this connection, biodiesel is the most promising diesel fuel based on a literature survey. In this paper, the prospects and potential for the use of biodiesel and increasing biodieseldiesel blending are studied by a fixed compression ratio, Optimum blending and enhanced performance engine parameter and pollution control should be proposed based on experiments. Experiments for a set compression ratio (17:1) undertaken utilising biodiesel cotton seed oil (CSME) diesel blends, i.e. B0, B10, B20, B30, without full loading rates, compared to the base cases (e.g. diesel engine fuel). The parameters may evaluate the fuel consumption and thermal efficiency of the brakes, Unburned hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in emission of carbon monoxide. The results concluded that, B20 (20% biodiesel and 80% diesel) is the most efficient compared to other mixtures.
