PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF DIESEL ENGINE FOR DURABILITY TEST AS PER EMA TEST PROCEDURE FOR 20 PER CENT JATROPHA METHYL ESTER BLEND WITH DIESEL
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 13
Abstract
A 7.4 kW (Twin cylinder, water cooled) Diesel engine was operated on recommended B20 ((Jatropha methyl ester 20 per cent: Hi-speed Diesel 80 per cent) blend. The standard 200 h durability test procedure as per EMA standard was followed to test engine durability for its performance in terms of break power, BSFC, BSFC, BThE and Exhaust gas temperature with four load conditions specified by EMA (0, 50, 75 and 100 percent load). The performance of diesel engine was found satisfactory for the trial duration.
