Critical Analysis & Performance Evaluation of C.I. Diesel Engine using Bio Di...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental study that evaluated the performance and emissions of a diesel engine fueled with various biodiesel blends. The study used a single-cylinder diesel engine to test neat diesel and blends of jatropha oil methyl ester, ethanol, and diesel. Engine performance parameters like brake power, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons were measured at various engine loads. The results were analyzed to compare the performance of the biodiesel blends to the neat diesel baseline. Numerical simulations were also conducted using chemical kinetic models to validate the experimental findings.

Continuous rise in the conventional fuel prices and shortage of its supply have increased the interest in the field of the alternative sources for petroleum fuels. In this present work, experimentation was carried out to study the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of desert date biodiesel and its blends. For this experiment a single cylinder, four strokes, naturally aspired, direct injection, water cooled, eddy current dynamometer Kirloskar diesel engine at 1500 rpm for variable loads. Initially, desert date biodiesel and its blends were chosen. The physical and chemical properties of desert date biodiesel were determined. The tests were carried out over entire range of engine operation at varying conditions of load. The engine performance parameters studied were brake horse power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, exhaust temperature and mechanical efficiency. The emission characteristics studied are CO, HC, NOx and smoke opacity. These results are compared to those of pure diesel. These results are again compared to the other results of neat oils available in the literature for validation. By analyzing the graphs, it was observed that performance characteristics are reduced and emission characteristics are lowered compare to the diesel. This is mainly due to lower calorific value, higher viscosity and delayed combustion process. From the analysis of graphs it is observed that B10 and B20 blends are best suited for diesel engine. The present experimental results show that fish oil biodiesel and its blends can be used as an alternative fuel in diesel engine.

EFFECT OF INJECTION PRESSURE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CI ENGINE FUELED WITH WCOashutoshDas123
A comprehensive combustion analysis has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercial DI engine, water cooled two cylinders, in-line, naturally aspirated, RD270 Ruggerini diesel engine using waste vegetable cooking oil as an alternative fuel. In order to compare the brake power and the torques values of the engine, it has been tested under same operating conditions with diesel fuel and waste cooking biodiesel fuel blends. The results were found to be very comparable. The properties of biodiesel produced from waste vegetable oil was measured based on ASTM standards. The total sulfur content of the produced biodiesel fuel was 18 ppm which is 28 times lesser than the existing diesel fuel sulfur content used in the diesel vehicles operating in Tehran city (500 ppm).
The maximum power and torque produced using diesel fuel was 18.2 kW and 64.2 Nm at 3200 and 2400 rpm respectively. By adding 20% of waste vegetable oil methyl ester, it was noticed that the maximum power and torque increased by 2.7 and 2.9% respectively. The growing concern about energy resources and the environment has increased interest in the study of alternative energy sources. To meet the requirements of energy expenditure there has been a growing curiosity in alternative fuels such as biodiesel to provide a room for diesel oil appropriate for internal combustion engines. The need for fossil fuels and the emissions generated by these fuels increase daily.
Researchers are on the verge of global warming and climate change, and energy sustainability and the use of materials are important issues today. Biodiesel is another fuel to be put in place of diesel fuel by processing used cooking oil. However, the products formed during the frying process have influenced the transesterification reaction and the biodiesel properties. These experiments on the analysis of C.I. engine that uses diesel and residual cooking oil mixture. They can be recycled and used multiple times, thus offering a cheaper way to produce biodiesel. The advantages and disadvantages of these heterogeneous catalysts are presented. Future work focuses on the application of economically and environmentally sounds solid catalysts in biodiesel production using WCO as raw material.

The presentation discusses transesterification to reduce viscosity for use in engines and shows the experimental setup. It outlines the objectives to analyze parameters like power, fuel consumption and emissions from blends of the oils.
This document discusses performance analysis of a single cylinder compression ignition engine using blends of karanja biodiesel and diesel. Karanja biodiesel is produced from karanja seeds through a transesterification process. The document reviews previous studies on using biodiesel blends in diesel engines and compares fuel properties of karanja biodiesel to diesel. The study aims to analyze parameters like brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, and emissions for different blends at varying engine loads. Previous research found blends like B20 performed better with reduced emissions and fuel consumption compared to diesel.
9. performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine using jatropha...Mustafa Mustafa
This document summarizes a study that investigated the performance and emissions of a diesel engine using blends of Jatropha oil and diesel fuel (J10, J15, and J20 blends containing 10%, 15%, and 20% Jatropha oil, respectively). The key findings were:
1) Fuel properties including density, viscosity, calorific value, and flash point of the blends differed from diesel fuel.
2) Engine power and torque increased at low speeds for the blends but decreased at high speeds compared to diesel. Fuel consumption slightly increased for the blends.
3) Brake thermal efficiency increased for the blends at high speeds but decreased at low speeds compared to diesel.
Experimental Investication of Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteri...ijsrd.com
Modernization and increase in the number of automobiles worldwide, the consumption of diesel and gasoline has enormously increased. As petroleum is non renewable source of energy and the petroleum reserves are scarce now days, there is a need to search for alternative fuels for automobiles. The intensive search for alternative fuels for compression ignition engines has been focused attention on fuels which can be derived from bio mass in this regard karanja and jatropha seed oil is found to be a potential fuel for C.I Engines. The properties of karanja oil and jatropha oil are determined by using standard methods. The experiment is to be conduct when the engine fuelled with mixing of karanja oil(50%) and jatropha oil(50%) blend by volume and then investigate the performance and emission characteristics of Multi Cylinder Four Stroke Compressed Ignition Engine at different brake power outputs, and then compared with that of diesel.
