The Effects of Apricots Seed Oil Biodiesel with Some Additives on Performance and Emissions of a Diesel Engine
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this experimental work is to investigate influences of using manganese (Mn) as a combustion catalysts on apricot seed oil based biodiesel production and its engine out parameters. The metal based additive (Mn) was added to biodiesel (B50) at different dosages of 20-40-60 μmol/L. Also, other additives the propylene glycol and dodecanol were added into apricot seed oil biodiesel (B50) at rates of 5% and 1%, respectively for preparing test fuels.This additives improved flash point, pour point and viscosity of the biodiesel (B50) fuel. Experiments were carried out to clarify the effects of all additives added to biodiesel on performance and emission characteristics of a three-cylinder DI diesel engine operated at a constant speed of 1500 rpm and different loads from 2,50 to 10 kW. The engine test results revealed that specific fuel consumption, NOx were not changed significantly with the adding additives to biodiesel (B50) fuel, while CO, HC and smoke emission profiles were improved.
