Performance and Emission of a Diesel Engine Fueled by Diesel and Biodiesel Blends with Antioxidant Additives and Their Emulsions

Abstract

This study is aimed at presenting a new type of antioxidant 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (DBMP), blended with B20 and B100 and their water emulsions (2.5% and 5%), to produce an emulsified fuel for diesel engines. The antioxidant DBMP is mixed in low proportions (0.1 vol.% and 0.5vol.%) to biodiesel-dieselemulsion blends. Biodiesel was produced from canola oil through a transesterification process and different fuel blends and emulsions were tested on a modern, small, direct injection (DI) diesel engine at different speeds (1000 rpm, 2100 rpm and 3000 rpm), and at different load conditions (low ≈ 20%, medium ≈ 50% and high ˃ 80%). Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) were measured as engine performance parameters. In emissions, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and smoke were measured.
