Investigation of combustion, performance and emission characters of compression ignition engine fuelled with diesel blends of linseed and cottonseed oil

Investigation of combustion, performance and emission characters of compression ignition engine... Environmental pollution and reducing fossil fuel reserves are the twin crisis that forces the automotive industry today to develop bio-based sustainable alternative fuel. This work aims to study the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine fuelled with blends of diesel, biodiesel blends derived from linseed oil and cottonseed oil as fuel. Four samples namely diesel, bio diesel blends of 5%, 10% and 15% which are referred as samples 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively are used as fuel. Experimental study shows significant increase in smoke emission by around 24% and 47% with samples 3 and 4 when compared with sample 1. On average, reduction in unburned hydrocarbon emission by 52% and 37% was achieved with samples 2 and 3 when compared to sample 1. When compared to sample 1, NOx emission was observed to be reduced by 24% when the engine was operated with sample 4. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Progress in Industrial Ecology, an International Journal Inderscience Publishers

Abstract

Environmental pollution and reducing fossil fuel reserves are the twin crisis that forces the automotive industry today to develop bio-based sustainable alternative fuel. This work aims to study the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine fuelled with blends of diesel, biodiesel blends derived from linseed oil and cottonseed oil as fuel. Four samples namely diesel, bio diesel blends of 5%, 10% and 15% which are referred as samples 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively are used as fuel. Experimental study shows significant increase in smoke emission by around 24% and 47% with samples 3 and 4 when compared with sample 1. On average, reduction in unburned hydrocarbon emission by 52% and 37% was achieved with samples 2 and 3 when compared to sample 1. When compared to sample 1, NOx emission was observed to be reduced by 24% when the engine was operated with sample 4.
