COMPARISON OF EMISSIONS AND ENGINE PERFORMANCE OF CRAMBE BIODIESEL AND BIOGAS

The combination of crambe (Crambe abyssinica L.) biodiesel and biogas could be a renewable energy alternative for internal combustion engines. Therefore, the emissions engine performance blends (B0, B10, B30, B50, B75, B100) were evaluated in both dual mode (biogas) normal (biodiesel). tests performed on 5-kVA generator at loads ranging from 1 to 4 kW. power generated was 17% lower than that mode. showed specific fuel consumption In mode, loss occurred as proportion increased. Furthermore, nitrogen oxide decreased with addition biogas. increased content Carbon monoxide modes an increase biodiesel. is efficient partial substitution diesel.
