Performance characteristics of CI engine using Chlorella Vulgaris microalgae oil as a pilot dual fuel blends

Abstract

Ever growing requirement for energy results in the growth of addiction over fossil fuels. The depleting nature of these sources of energy and improving the nature of energy needs are causing serious energy problems with the long term energy protection. An important objective of current research is by using the blend of microalgae oil to lower emissions and also to enhance fuel performance of dual-fuelled diesel engines by high viscosity neat Chlorella Vulgaris oil and low viscosity Turpentine oil. This particular research article reveals the outcomes of investigation performed to measure the advancement in combustion, the character of the diesel engine operated with Chlorella Vulgaris oil and Turpentine oil blends were used as fuels. Outcomes revealed that usage of pilot fuel could provide adequate performance within a standard diesel engine without having any twisting within the engine. As a result of all the used fuel blends, the outcome shows that a blend of 50% Chlorella Vulgaris oil − 50% Turpentine oil used fuel blend had been seen to be an optimum blend for the diesel engine. The combustion characteristics for the engine-powered with pilot fuel were revealed virtually consistent with diesel.
