Performance and Study of Diesel Engine Using Blends of Sunflower Oil with Diesel
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Biodiesel either in neat, clean and sustainable form or as a mixture with diesel fuel is widely investigated to solve the two basic problems of fossil fuels and environmental degradations. The main objective of the present study is to make a comparison of performance, emission and combustion characteristic of biodiesel derived from edible vegetable sunflower oil in a four stroke single cylinder diesel engine with pure diesel fuel. The performance parameters evaluated were brake horse power, fuel consumption rate, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, temperature of exhaust gas, temperature of cooling water and emission of carbon monoxide as a part of combustion study temperature of cooling water, temperature of exhaust gas was also evaluated. The different properties of sunflower oil after transesterification were within tolerable limits of standards as sets by many countries. The brake thermal efficiency of B-25 fuel is more than B-0 fuel up to 80 % load and then it tends to decreases below B-0 fuel at full load condition and the brake specific fuel consumption of the B-25 fuel at all loads is closely similar to that of the B-0 fuel or it can be said that optimum brake specific fuel consumption is observed at 80 % load by the B-25 amongst all blended fuels. The fuel consumption rate of B-10 and B-20 fuel is very close to that of the B-0 fuel but at full load the fuel consumption rate of B-10 and B-30 fuel increases more than B-0. But the overall the fuel consumption rate of B-25 blends is lower than that of B-0.The results from the experiments suggest that biodiesel derived from edible oil like sunflower oil could be a noble substitute to diesel fuel in diesel engine in the near future as far as decentralized energy production is concerned. In view of analogous engine performance and reduction in most of the engine emissions, it can be decided and biodiesel developed from sunflower and its blends could be used in a conventional diesel engine without any engine modification.
