A Study of diesel engine fuelled with Madhuca Indica biodiesel and its blend with Diesel fuel

Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 10

Abstract

The engine emission characteristics of Mahua (Madhuca Indica) biodiesel (Mahua Oil Methyl Ester) and its blends with diesel is presented. The thermo-physical properties of all the fuel blends have been measured and presented. The engine tests are conducted on a 4-Stroke Tangentially Vertical (TV) single cylinder kirloskar 1500 rpm water-cooled direct injection diesel engine with eddy current dynamometer at different brake power of 1.021133, 2.072299, 3.093431, 4.144597, 5.195763 kw with modified Static Injection Timing of 22° bTDC and standard Nozzle Opening Pressure of 220 bar maintained as constant throughout the experiment under steady state conditions at full load condition. From the test results, it could be observed that the higher brake power of 5.195763 kw (full load) with nozzle opening pressure of 220 bar and static injection timing of 22° bTDC gives lower emissions for brake power 5.195763 kw for B0 and B25 when compared to other blends. Also there is significant percentage reduction in NOx emission with brake power of 5.195763 kw for B0 when compared with B100. It could be found that lower in CO, HC emissions with brake power 5.195763 kw for B25 when compared to B0
