Experimental Analysis of Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine using Diesel-Turpentine Blend
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aims to study the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fuelled with turpentine oil biodiesel. For this the turpentine oil was mixed with diesel in various proportions. Mainly the B20, B30, B40 and B50 blends were taken into account. The test was conducted on a 5.2 kW four stroke, single cylinder diesel engine with compression ratio of 17.5:1. The results obtained are compared with neat diesel fuel at all the loads. The biodiesel blends show a significant reduction in the brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption when compared to the diesel fuel. The in-cylinder pressure and the amount of heat released is also found to be lesser than diesel. But there is a reduction in CO and NOx emissions at low loads. But still the smoke and HC emissions are higher than the diesel.
