Analysis of The Engine Performance, Emissions, Energy Parameters & Combustion Behaviors of a Compression Ignition Engine Fueled with Biodiesel

Abstract

In this study Analysis of the engine performance,
emissions, energy parameters & combustion
behaviors of a compression ignition engine fueled
with biodiesel is done. Biodiesel can be produced
from vegetable oils, animal fats, waste cooking
oils, and algae oils which are mixed with alcohol
and catalyst. Biodiesel production is an
alternative fuel to diesel engine. Cooking oil are
reused many times and these cooking oils is
thrown away which can even pollute the
environment. So, if this oil is converted into
biofuels, they are sustainable alternative to fossil
fuels because they are renewable and less harm
full to the environment. Biodiesel blends are used
and is compared with reference diesel to compare
the different parameters. These blends are mixed
with the reference diesel for example 30% of
waste cooking oil is mixed with 70% of reference
diesel [1]. 4-cylinder, 4 stroke direct injection
diesel engine was used for the comparison of
these blends with reference diesel. And engine
performance is obtained. The engine was loaded
with different load condition and an eddy current
dynamometer was attached to it.
