Experimental Study on Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Gossypium Hirsutum L. Biodiesel Fuelled with Single Cylinder 4-Stroke Diesel Engine
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Gossypium Hirsutum L. also called as cotton is produced in more than 80 countries in the world. After harvesting process it will be traded as raw cotton, fiber as well as seeds. The oil will be used for producing biodiesel, manufacturing cosmetics and also used as insecticide. Gossypium Hirsutum L. seeds are having the oil yield of 25-30%. So the oil has been extracted using the mechanical expeller. Biodiesel production has done by using the transesterification process; got FFA content as 1.692 which is less than 4 %. So according to this value here alkali base transesterification has selected by using Sodium Hydroxide as catalyst and methanol as alcohol. It has selected ethanol as additive and adds it into the cotton seed biodiesel. Finally by conducting an engine test using single cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine, it has noted that the blend B20E10 has secured good performance at 100% load. And also noted that addition of ethanol will almost match the properties of cottonseed oil biodiesel with diesel and reduces the emission of NOx and increases the emission of CO and HC by reducing combustion temperature.
