Abstract
This experiment work is to investigate the performance parameters of single cylinder, four stroke engine connected to eddy
current dynamometer fuelled with argemone biodiesel and blend with diesel fuel under different load condition (0%, 20%, 40%,
60%, 80%, 100%) and constant engine running speed. The performance parameters consist of brake power (BP), brake thermal
efficiency (BTHE), and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The argemone mexicana oil was used for production of biodiesel.
The transesterification process was used for production of argemone oil methyl ester by using methanol in the presence of sodium
metal as a catalyst. The process undergoing various reaction conditions with molar ratio (1:6, 1:3, 1:9 oil to methanol), reaction
time (60 min, 90 min, 120 min), reaction temperature (55°C, 65°C, 75°C, 85°C) and catalyst (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% w/w of oil)
effects the fuel properties of argemone biodiesel. The most favorable conditions for transesterification of argemone oil with
methanol in the presence of sodium metal as a catalyst was found with molar ratio 1:6 (oil to methanol), reaction time 120 min,
reaction temperature 75°C and catalyst 1.5% (w/w of oil). The fuel properties were calculated and compared with Diesel. The
result shows that argemone biodiesel blend (AB10 and AB20) have improved fuel property and brake thermal efficiency, brake
power and specific fuel consumption value closer to diesel value.

1. INTRODUCTION
The worldwide has increased demand of energy supply of
fossil fuel source such as petroleum, coal and natural gas.
Highly dependency on fossil fuel leads to increase the cost
of petroleum, environmental degradation and their import
bill [1]. Hence long period energy security is required to
develop a new alternative fuel. Biodiesel is a biodegradable,
eco-friendly, non-toxic, clean burning and an alternative fuel
for diesel engine [2]. It is derived from the different types of
vegetables oil (edible and non-edible oil) and animal fats.
Different methodologies to produce Biodiesel are [3]:
i. Direct use/blending
ii. Heating
iii. Micro-emulsion
iv. Pyrolysis
v. Transesterification
In the direct method straight vegetable oil is used in the
diesel engine without any engine modification. The main
advantage of this method is complete accessibility and
renewability. The straight vegetable oil arises few problems
in engine like injector coking, ring sticking, poor
atomization and improper combustion due to high viscosity
and density of vegetable oil.
Heating is the process in which the viscosity of the
vegetable oil varies with the temperature, affecting the
efficiency of the engine.
Pyrolysis is the process of conversion of one substance into
another substance using heat. Catalyst is used to increase the
rate of reaction. Lower hydrocarbons are obtained as the
product of pyrolysis of vegetable oil that can be used as a
fuel.
In Micro emulsion, colloidal dispersion of fluid
microstructures (1-150 µm) in solvent forming two
immiscible phases take place.
Transesterification is a chemical reaction in which the
vegetable oil, a triglyceride react with alcohol (methanol or
ethanol) in the presence of catalyst (homogenous and
heterogeneous), producing a mixture of fatty acid (methyl or
ethyl ester) and glycerol. Different parameters considered
during the transesterification reaction are:
i. Molar ratio (vegetable oil to alcohol )
ii. Reaction time
iii. Reaction temperature
iv. Stirring speed
v. Catalyst (homogenous and heterogeneous)
vi. Catalyst concentration (% w/w of oil)

Argemone mexicana is used as non-edible oil resource for
the production of biodiesel. Argemone mexicana belongs to
papveraceae (poppy) family and the entire species belong to
the mexicana prickly poppy. It is commonly known as
Shialkanta and Satyanashi in India. In India it is found on
the road side, waste land and field. This plant have yellow
flower, branching herb with yellow juice and height varies
between 0.3 to 0.12 meters. The plant is self-productive [5].
The argemone oil consists of linoleic acid (54-61%), oleic
acid (21-33%) and toxicity attributes mainly two alkaloids,
sanguinarine and dihydro-sanguinarine [6]. The aim of this
work is to find optimum conditions and properties of
argemone oil methyl ester. The properties are compared
with Diesel Fuel and show that argemone biodiesel meet the
properties of diesel standard fuel.

2. MATERIALS AND METHOD
The argemone mexicana seeds were purchased from local
market in hoshiarpur. Argemone oil was extracted using
Solvent Extraction Method with petroleum esters and
hexane as a solvent. The value of free fatty acid of
argemone oil was less than 2% hence single step
transesterification method was used for production of
biodiesel. In this method, transesterification of non-edible
oils, triglyceride reacts with three molecule of methanol in
the presence of homogenous as catalyst, producing a
mixture of three parts of fatty acid methyl ester and one part
of glycerol. The triglyceride was converted into mono-alkali
ester and glycerol. The alcohol (methanol and ethanol) and
catalyst (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and
sodium metal) were provided in the laboratory. The entire
experiments were performed in SSS NIRE (Sardar Swarn
Singh National Institute of Renewable Energy) Kapurthala,
Punjab.

2.1 Production of Biodiesel for Argemone oil
Feedstock : Argemone mexicana oil
Instrument : Redley reactor
Base catalyst : NaOH, KOH, NA metal of 1%,
1.5%, 2%, 2.5% w/w of oil
Reactant : 1:6, 1:3, 1:9 (oil to methanol)
2.2 Biodiesel Setup
The reaction was carried out in Biodiesel Redley Reactor
equipped with reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer and
thermometer. It consists of water jackets, external heater and
condenser. The suitable mixing and turbulence for
accelerating the reaction was done by supplementary
impeller, attached mechanically to spindle.
Fig -4: Biodiesel Setup
2.3 Transesterification Process
During experiment, 1000 ml of argemone oil was taken in
the biodiesel preparation unit and preheated at 75°C for
number of experiment. Preheating was used to eliminate
unnecessary moisture content from the oil. According to
molar ratio 1:3, 1:6, 1:9, 1:12 (oil to methanol ratio), take
151 ml, 302 ml, 454 ml 605 ml of methanol and catalyst
concentration 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5 (9.1 gm, 13.65 gm, 18.29
gm and 22.75 gm w/w of oil) of sodium hydroxide,
potassium hydroxide, and sodium metal in the three
different beaker and stir until the catalyst gets fully
dissolved. The sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and
sodium methoxide solution were poured into the hot
argemone oil. The reaction temperature was maintained at
varies 55°C, 65°C, 75°C, 85°C steady conditions and
stirring speed was manually set to constant 650 rpm. Water
bath (external heater) and reflux condenser were switched
on after proper closing of the flask. The purpose of external
heater unit was to maintain constant temperature of reaction
and of condenser is to reflux back the vaporized methanol
particles into the reactor. The whole mixture was continuous
stirred at 650 rpm for two hours. The mixture takes 24 hours
to settle down. After 24 hours, two layers are formed. Top
layer was biodiesel and bottom layer consist of glycerol and
soap. The bottom layer was taken out and the top layer was
washed for 10-15 times with hot water. Even after washing
process small amount of alcohol and water contents were
present in the biodiesel. These contents were removed using
oven kept at 110°C, thus obtaining pure biodiesel.

4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Optimization of Biodiesel with Different
Reaction Parameters
In this optimization of biodiesel with various reaction
parameters was discussed.
4.1.1 Effect of Reaction Temperature on Biodiesel
Yield and Kinematic Viscosity
The kinematic viscosity and biodiesel yield changes with
change in reaction temperature. Reaction temperature varied
between 55-85ºC for different experiments. The biodiesel
yield decreases with the increase in reaction temperature.
The biodiesel yield was highest and kinematic viscosity was
smallest under the optimum reaction temperature at 75ºC.
The effect of reaction temperature on the biodiesel yield (%)
and kinematic viscosity was shown by figure (10 & 11).

Higher molar was used during experiment, the density
difference between upper layer (biodiesel) and lower layer
(glycerol) becomes much less. The separation becomes very
difficult and conversion rate decrease. High amount glycerol
content in the biodiesel leads to higher kinematic viscosity.
The optimum molar ratio was 1:6 (oil to methanol)
gives90% yield of biodiesel and reduced kinematic
viscosity. The effect of molar ratio on biodiesel yield (%)
and kinematic viscosity were shown in figure (12 & 13).

4.2 Engine Performance
The single cylinder CI engine performance parameters of
argemone biodiesel was evaluated in terms of Brake power,
brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel
consumption at different loading (no load, 20%, 40%, 60%,
80%, 100%) conditions.
4.2.1 Brake Power
The brake power was increased with increase in load. The
brake power was maximum value (4.27 KW)for AB20 at
full load condition. The brake power was maximum due to
better combustion and high amount of heat content in the
biodiesel.
4.2.2 Brake Thermal Efficiency
The brake thermal efficiency was increases with increase in
load on engine. The brake thermal efficiency was maximum
for AB20 (31.95%) at full load conditions. The brake
thermal efficiency for AB20 was maximum than that of
diesel fuel due -to high amount of oxygen content are
present in the argemone biodiesel fuel. This value indicates
that decrease in heat loss and increase power output with
maximum load condition. For AB30 BTE was decreased
than that of diesel due to lower calorific value of fuel.
Fig -18: Variation of BP (kW) vs Load (%).
Fig -19: Variation of BTE (%) vs Load (%)
4.2.3 Specific Fuel Consumption
The specific fuel consumption was decreased for different
load conditions. The specific fuel consumption value was
slightly higher than that of diesel fuel for AB10, AB30 but
AB20 value was lower than that of diesel fuel at full load
condition. Specific fuel consumption value was lower
because of high amount of oxygen contant present in the
biodiesel they lead to proper combustion and decrease the
specific fuel consumption value.

5. CONCLUSION
In this study the optimum condition for production of
biodiesel from argemone oil and performance analysis on
single cylinder CI engine fuelled with argemone biodiesel
blends with diesel , the following conclusion have been
made in this work
1. The production of biodiesel was highest by single
step transesterification of argemone oil with
methanol in the presence sodium metal as a
catalyst. The biodiesel yield of maximum 90% and
kinematic viscosity of minimum 5.07 cst were
obtained molar ratio (1:6 oil to methanol) at 75°C.
2. The optimum condition for production of biodiesel
were 1:6 oil to methanol ratio, catalyst sodium
metal, catalyst concentration 1.5% w/w of oil,
reaction time 2 hour, reaction temperature 75ºC,
and stirring speed 650 rpm.
3. The brake thermal efficiency and brake power of
was maximum for AB20 at full load conditions.
Due to high amount of oxygen content are present
in the fuel, they lead to proper combustion and
better atomization of fuel.
4. The specific fuel consumption was decreased for
AB20 at full load conditions even that of diesel
fuel. This is due to excess of oxygen content are
present in biodiesel and lower viscosity and density
of fuel.
5. The friction power was decreased at no load
condition for all blends and increased by full load
condition. the frication power was maximum for
AB30 at full load conditions
Therefore it can be concluded that the argemone biodiesel
blend AB20 (biodiesel 20%+80% diesel by volume) has
improved fuel properties for diesel engine and improved
performance.

OPTIMIZATION OF BIODIESEL FROM ARGEMONE OIL WITH DIFFERENT REACTION PARAMETERS AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN CI ENGINE

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 04 Issue: 04 | Apr-2015, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 377 OPTIMIZATION OF BIODIESEL FROM ARGEMONE OIL WITH DIFFERENT REACTION PARAMETERS AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN CI ENGINE Parmjit Singh1 , Sandeep Kumar Duran2 , Amanpreet Singh3 1 M-Tech scholar, Mechanical Engineering Department, LPU, Punjab, India 2 Assistant professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, LPU, Punjab, India 3 M-Tech scholar, Mechanical Engineering Department, LPU, Punjab, India Abstract This experiment work is to investigate the performance parameters of single cylinder, four stroke engine connected to eddy current dynamometer fuelled with argemone biodiesel and blend with diesel fuel under different load condition (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) and constant engine running speed. The performance parameters consist of brake power (BP), brake thermal efficiency (BTHE), and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The argemone mexicana oil was used for production of biodiesel. The transesterification process was used for production of argemone oil methyl ester by using methanol in the presence of sodium metal as a catalyst. The process undergoing various reaction conditions with molar ratio (1:6, 1:3, 1:9 oil to methanol), reaction time (60 min, 90 min, 120 min), reaction temperature (55°C, 65°C, 75°C, 85°C) and catalyst (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% w/w of oil) effects the fuel properties of argemone biodiesel. The most favorable conditions for transesterification of argemone oil with methanol in the presence of sodium metal as a catalyst was found with molar ratio 1:6 (oil to methanol), reaction time 120 min, reaction temperature 75°C and catalyst 1.5% (w/w of oil). The fuel properties were calculated and compared with Diesel. The result shows that argemone biodiesel blend (AB10 and AB20) have improved fuel property and brake thermal efficiency, brake power and specific fuel consumption value closer to diesel value. Keywords: Argemone mexicana oil, Transesterification, Sodium metal Catalyst, Methyl ester, Biodiesel Properties, Engine Performance. --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION The worldwide has increased demand of energy supply of fossil fuel source such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. Highly dependency on fossil fuel leads to increase the cost of petroleum, environmental degradation and their import bill [1]. Hence long period energy security is required to develop a new alternative fuel. Biodiesel is a biodegradable, eco-friendly, non-toxic, clean burning and an alternative fuel for diesel engine [2]. It is derived from the different types of vegetables oil (edible and non-edible oil) and animal fats. Different methodologies to produce Biodiesel are [3]: i. Direct use/blending ii. Heating iii. Micro-emulsion iv. Pyrolysis v. Transesterification In the direct method straight vegetable oil is used in the diesel engine without any engine modification. The main advantage of this method is complete accessibility and renewability. The straight vegetable oil arises few problems in engine like injector coking, ring sticking, poor atomization and improper combustion due to high viscosity and density of vegetable oil. Heating is the process in which the viscosity of the vegetable oil varies with the temperature, affecting the efficiency of the engine. Pyrolysis is the process of conversion of one substance into another substance using heat. Catalyst is used to increase the rate of reaction. Lower hydrocarbons are obtained as the product of pyrolysis of vegetable oil that can be used as a fuel. In Micro emulsion, colloidal dispersion of fluid microstructures (1-150 µm) in solvent forming two immiscible phases take place. Transesterification is a chemical reaction in which the vegetable oil, a triglyceride react with alcohol (methanol or ethanol) in the presence of catalyst (homogenous and heterogeneous), producing a mixture of fatty acid (methyl or ethyl ester) and glycerol. Different parameters considered during the transesterification reaction are: i. Molar ratio (vegetable oil to alcohol ) ii. Reaction time iii. Reaction temperature iv. Stirring speed v. Catalyst (homogenous and heterogeneous) vi. Catalyst concentration (% w/w of oil)

Argemone mexicana belongs to papveraceae (poppy) family and the entire species belong to the mexicana prickly poppy. It is commonly known as Shialkanta and Satyanashi in India. In India it is found on the road side, waste land and field. This plant have yellow flower, branching herb with yellow juice and height varies between 0.3 to 0.12 meters. The plant is self-productive [5]. The argemone oil consists of linoleic acid (54-61%), oleic acid (21-33%) and toxicity attributes mainly two alkaloids, sanguinarine and dihydro-sanguinarine [6]. The aim of this work is to find optimum conditions and properties of argemone oil methyl ester. The properties are compared with Diesel Fuel and show that argemone biodiesel meet the properties of diesel standard fuel.

MATERIALS AND METHOD The argemone mexicana seeds were purchased from local market in hoshiarpur. Argemone oil was extracted using Solvent Extraction Method with petroleum esters and hexane as a solvent. The value of free fatty acid of argemone oil was less than 2% hence single step transesterification method was used for production of biodiesel. In this method, transesterification of non-edible oils, triglyceride reacts with three molecule of methanol in the presence of homogenous as catalyst, producing a mixture of three parts of fatty acid methyl ester and one part of glycerol. The triglyceride was converted into mono-alkali ester and glycerol. The alcohol (methanol and ethanol) and catalyst (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium metal) were provided in the laboratory. The entire experiments were performed in SSS NIRE (Sardar Swarn Singh National Institute of Renewable Energy) Kapurthala, Punjab.

It consists of water jackets, external heater and condenser. The suitable mixing and turbulence for accelerating the reaction was done by supplementary impeller, attached mechanically to spindle. Fig -4: Biodiesel Setup 2.3 Transesterification Process During experiment, 1000 ml of argemone oil was taken in the biodiesel preparation unit and preheated at 75°C for number of experiment. Preheating was used to eliminate unnecessary moisture content from the oil. According to molar ratio 1:3, 1:6, 1:9, 1:12 (oil to methanol ratio), take 151 ml, 302 ml, 454 ml 605 ml of methanol and catalyst concentration 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5 (9.1 gm, 13.65 gm, 18.29 gm and 22.75 gm w/w of oil) of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium metal in the three different beaker and stir until the catalyst gets fully dissolved. The sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium methoxide solution were poured into the hot argemone oil. The reaction temperature was maintained at varies 55°C, 65°C, 75°C, 85°C steady conditions and stirring speed was manually set to constant 650 rpm. Water bath (external heater) and reflux condenser were switched on after proper closing of the flask. The purpose of external heater unit was to maintain constant temperature of reaction and of condenser is to reflux back the vaporized methanol particles into the reactor. The whole mixture was continuous stirred at 650 rpm for two hours. The mixture takes 24 hours to settle down. After 24 hours, two layers are formed. Top layer was biodiesel and bottom layer consist of glycerol and soap. The bottom layer was taken out and the top layer was washed for 10-15 times with hot water. Even after washing process small amount of alcohol and water contents were present in the biodiesel. These contents were removed using oven kept at 110°C, thus obtaining pure biodiesel.

The brake power was maximum value (4.27 KW)for AB20 at full load condition. The brake power was maximum due to better combustion and high amount of heat content in the biodiesel. 4.2.2 Brake Thermal Efficiency The brake thermal efficiency was increases with increase in load on engine. The brake thermal efficiency was maximum for AB20 (31.95%) at full load conditions. The brake thermal efficiency for AB20 was maximum than that of diesel fuel due -to high amount of oxygen content are present in the argemone biodiesel fuel. This value indicates that decrease in heat loss and increase power output with maximum load condition. For AB30 BTE was decreased than that of diesel due to lower calorific value of fuel. Fig -18: Variation of BP (kW) vs Load (%). Fig -19: Variation of BTE (%) vs Load (%) 4.2.3 Specific Fuel Consumption The specific fuel consumption was decreased for different load conditions. The specific fuel consumption value was slightly higher than that of diesel fuel for AB10, AB30 but AB20 value was lower than that of diesel fuel at full load condition. Specific fuel consumption value was lower because of high amount of oxygen contant present in the biodiesel they lead to proper combustion and decrease the specific fuel consumption value.

CONCLUSION In this study the optimum condition for production of biodiesel from argemone oil and performance analysis on single cylinder CI engine fuelled with argemone biodiesel blends with diesel , the following conclusion have been made in this work 1. The production of biodiesel was highest by single step transesterification of argemone oil with methanol in the presence sodium metal as a catalyst. The biodiesel yield of maximum 90% and kinematic viscosity of minimum 5.07 cst were obtained molar ratio (1:6 oil to methanol) at 75°C. 2. The optimum condition for production of biodiesel were 1:6 oil to methanol ratio, catalyst sodium metal, catalyst concentration 1.5% w/w of oil, reaction time 2 hour, reaction temperature 75ºC, and stirring speed 650 rpm. 3. The brake thermal efficiency and brake power of was maximum for AB20 at full load conditions. Due to high amount of oxygen content are present in the fuel, they lead to proper combustion and better atomization of fuel. 4. The specific fuel consumption was decreased for AB20 at full load conditions even that of diesel fuel. This is due to excess of oxygen content are present in biodiesel and lower viscosity and density of fuel. 5. The friction power was decreased at no load condition for all blends and increased by full load condition. the frication power was maximum for AB30 at full load conditions Therefore it can be concluded that the argemone biodiesel blend AB20 (biodiesel 20%+80% diesel by volume) has improved fuel properties for diesel engine and improved performance.
