Predict the characteristics of diesel engine using glycine max oil biofuel

Abstract

Significant research is devoted to the transformation of Glycine max oil (soybean oil) into biofuel. An exhaustive investigation into the performance, combustion and emission analyses of glycine max oil biofuel (GMOB) in the context of optimization studies involving variable engine factors such as load, injector timing and so forth, has yet to occur. This study endeavors to fill the gap in the academic literature regarding comprehensive engine investigations of GMOB. In this study, five distinct mixtures of GMOBs are combined with diesel: DS1—0% biofuel with 100% diesel, DS2—5% biofuel with 95% diesel, DS3—20% biofuel with 80% diesel, DS4—40% biofuel with 60% diesel and DS5—100% biofuel and 0% diesel. Using standard ASTM limits, the properties of the biodiesel samples were evaluated and confirmed (the kinematic viscosity at 40°C for GMOB is 4.6 mm2/s, whereas that of unadulterated diesel is 3.0 mm2/s). Utilizing the combustion, emission and performance characteristics of a compression ignition engine, the blend, load and injection timing (IT) were optimized. At 100% load, an upward trend in indicated thermal efficiency is observed for both diesel and biofuel blends. Furthermore, the volumetric efficiency of all biofuel blends was enhanced through the implementation of advanced IT (24.5° b TDC). Additionally, smoke emission is observed to increase by 18.5°–24.5° b TDC across all mixtures. Biofuel mixtures exhibit a negligible minimum rate of pressure increase per degree.
