Study of Performance and Emission Characteristics of C.I Engine fuelled with Hybrid Biodiesel
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the present experimental investigation, the performance and emission characteristics of four stroke single cylinder water-cooled DI diesel engine using dual hybrid biodiesel is evaluated. Dual hybrid biodiesel produced from Simarouba Oil Methyl Ester (SuOME) and Jatropha Oil Methyl Ester (JOME) is used as a fuel to run the engine. Both the methyl esters are mixed in equal % and blended with diesel (B20 to B100). The fuel properties such as kinematic viscosity, calorific value, flash point, carbon residue and specific gravity were found for the prepared biodiesel. The results showed that B20 has almost closer brake thermal efficiency compared to that of the conventional diesel fuel. Except NOx, B100 has recorded very less emission of CO, CO2 and HC compared to that of diesel fuel.
