Experimental Investigation of Sesame Oil and Tung Oil Methyl Esters as Biodiesel on CI Engine
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
In today’s world various source of energy are given importance because of gradual depletion of fossil fuels reserves vegetable oils can be used as an alternative to diesel in CI engines. The utilization of vegetable oils in CI engine results in low CO and HC emissions compared to conventional diesel fuel. This study covers the various aspects of biodiesels fuel derived from sesame & tung oil. Sesame & Tung oil is converted to Sesame & Tung oil methyl esters by transesterification process. An experimental investigation was carried out on C.I.engine with Bio Diesel blends of sesame oil methyl Esters and tung oil methyl Esters. The engine used for the experiments was single cylinder Four Stroke water cooled, constant speed diesel engine. Sesame oil methyl ester (SOME) and Tung oil methyl ester (TOME) are derived through transesterification process and parameters of transesterification were optimized. The blends of various proportions of the SOME &TOME with diesel were prepared, analyzed and compared with diesel fuel, and comparison was created to suggest the better choice among the bio diesel. Various tests have been carried out to examine properties, performance of various blends (S20, S40, S60, and S80) of SOME and TOME as compared to diesel. From the experimental results it is indicated that S20 have closer performance to diesel. However, its diesel blends showed affordable efficiencies. From the experimental results it is observed that sesame oil methyl ester gives better performance compared to oil methyl esters and also the emissions and smoke for these diesel blends are less as compare to the pure diesel.
