A Study of Performance and Emissions of Diesel Engine Fuelled With Blends of Cotton Seed Oil Methyl Ester and Petro-Diesel
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The engine performance and emission characteristics of Cotton Seed oil biodiesel (Cotton Seed Oil Methyl Ester) and its blends with petro-diesel are presented. The engine tests are conducted on a 4-Stroke Tangentially Vertical (TV1) single cylinder kirloskar 1500 rpm water cooled direct injection diesel engine with eddy current dynamometer at nozzle opening pressure 230 bar with standard static injection timing of 23° bTDC maintained as constant throughout the experiment under steady state conditions at full load condition. From the test results, it could be observed that the B25 blend gives optimum performance like higher brake thermal efficiency lower specific fuel consumption and lower emissions like lower in smoke density and oxides of nitrogen. The research findings show that B25 gives lowest emissions which make it a good alternative fuel to operate diesel locomotives without any modification in existing diesel engine.
