Effect of Biodiesel and Their Diesel Blends on Performance and Emission Characteristics of CIDI Engine: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
The ever increasing raise of petro-diesel fuel rise, deterioration of fuel reserves and economically attractive biodiesel are competent to presently using fossil fuels. Biodiesel, produce by the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with simple alcohols and catalyst attracts more and more attention recently. Biodiesels are one of the best available renewable energy resources that have come to the forerunner in the recent times. In this paper, a comprehensive review has been conducted to study the different research accomplishments on vegetable oils and animal fat oils that are used as biodiesels as an alternative fuel for a compression ignition direct injection (CIDI) engine. Impediments and advantages allied with vegetable oils, animal fat oils and their diesel blends are also take into account for the research review. The existing literature revealed that the transesterification process is a most appropriate and distinctive method used for preparation of biodiesels from plants and animal fats. From the experimental studies, it has been unveiled that the biodiesels typically causes the reduction in engine torque and power, but the lower smoke emissions, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, pollution and with the biodiesel as compared to neat diesel with a minor increased in NOx emissions. Although sufficient and significant work has been carried out to evaluate the characteristics of diesel engine using biodiesels produced from both edible and non-edible vegetable oils, from the literature it was observed that inadequate amount of work has been done to analyze the characteristics of CIDI engine fuelled with animal-fat based biodiesels especially fish oil. Hence the authors’ research is focussed on evaluating the effect of fish oil methyl ester (FOME) on characteristics of CIDI engine and this paper is concerned to review of previous work related to FOME and its diesel blends used in diesel engine.
