Abstract
The rate of petroleum reserve is declining while energy demand keeps increasing. The current expansion of the Indian economy has escalated petroleum demand, prices have surged, hurting the economies of poor and developing countries. India is the second largest rice producing country in the world. The estimated yield of crude Rice Bran Oil (RBO)is about 400,000 tons of which only 50% is of edible grade, 50% of the total available rice bran oil is left unutilized due to the presence of active lipase in bran and lack of economic stabilization methods most of the bran is used as animal feed or for industrial application. One of the best ways for the potential utilization of RBO is the production of biodiesel. Thus use of biodiesel from non-edible oil sources serves asana alternative fuel to overcome this problem. This study targets at finding the effects of the engine parameters to compare the performance of diesel and rice bran biodiesel blends. The consumption of fuels in the world is increasing rapidly and it affects the global economy of all the countries so this factor forced all the countries to find the alternative fuel to reduce and even replace the usage of petroleum fuel. The present study focuses on impact assessment of rice bran and its blends with diesel on diesel engine performance and testing. The experimental analysis provides in study detail of the biodiesel production process, fuel properties evaluation and impact on engine performance testing. The study also investigates the optimization of the Compression ratio (CR) of a compression ignition engine fueled with blends of biodiesel. In order to find out the optimum CR of the engine, experiments were conducted at different CRs ranging from 12 to 18. Then the experiments were conducted using RB10, RB20 and RB30 blends of rice bran bio-diesel and diesel at CR of 14 and 16 and these results were compared with the results obtained when the same engine was tested on conventional diesel fuel.
