Study of Performance of Different Blends of Biodiesel Prepared From Waste Cottonseed Oil
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
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. Biodiesel was made by the well-known transesterification process. Waste cottonseed oil was selected for biodiesel production. Three different blends of biodiesel were prepared i.e. B10, B20 and B30. These three blends were fuelled in a compression ignition (C.I.) engine. A maximum of 77% biodiesel was produced with 20% methanol in presence of 0.5% sodium hydroxide. Different parameters for the optimization of biodiesel production were investigated in the first phase of this study, while in the next phase of the study performance test of a diesel engine with neat diesel fuel and biodiesel mixtures are to be carried out. The performance characteristics like brake power (B.P.), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and brake thermal efficiency. This performance was then compared with that of petro diesel.
