Performance and Emission Characteristics of Mahua Biodiesel Blends with Di-Ethyl Ether as Diesel Fuel Replacement
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diesel engines are highly efficient but rely on diminishing fossil fuels. To address this, researchers partially replaced diesel with mahua biodiesel and added di-ethyl ether (DEE) to improve the combustion rate. B20, a blend with 20% biodiesel, showed higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE). Combining B20 and DEE as AD-20 increased BTE and reduced fuel consumption by 11.8% compared to diesel. AD-20 also significantly lowered tailpipe emissions, offering a cleaner and greener solution for diesel engines.
