Fuelling diesel engine with diesel, linseed derived biodiesel and its blends at different injection pressures: performance studies
Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Due to rapid depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns, the use of biodiesel is rapidly expanding around the world, making it imperative to fully understand the impacts of biodiesel on the diesel engine combustion process and pollutant formation. In the Indian context linseed can play an important role in the production of alternative diesel fuel. The climatic and soil conditions of India are convenient for the production of linseed (Linum Usitatissimum) crop. In the paper Bio-diesel is prepared from core linseed oil by transesterification process. The performance study of a diesel engine with diesel and linseed based biodiesel were carried out at different injection (170 bar, 190 bar and 210 bar) pressures. Fuel characteristics (density, calorific value, viscosity and flash point), engine performance characteristics have been investigated and significant improvements were observed. The results confirm that when compared to neat diesel fuel, biodiesel also gives similar thermal efficiency.
