This paper presents performance study of Peugeot MM540 diesel engine using biodiesel prepared from used cooking oil. Transesterification process is followed to produce bio diesel and is blended with diesel in different proportion of 22:78 and 24:76 by volume and named as blend B22 and B24 respectively. Engine was run at different loads (0, 15, 30, 35, and 40kg) with constant speed of 1000rpm se...

Use of biodiesel as an alternative to diesel could reduce the dependency on petroleum products and the pollution problem. The physical properties of the fuel such as viscosity, volatility and f lash point also affect the combustion process, thereby engine performance. Specif ically atomization of the fuel during the injection is attributed to higher viscosity of biodiesel. Injec ted fuel drople...

ISSN 2277-5056 | © 2013 Bonfring Abstract--Increasing the fuel demand brings us to find out the various alternative solutions. Out of the various research activities, bio-diesel from various oil seeds is the major activity, which decides the future energy sources. Our previous researchers concluded that Jatropha oil is to be an alternate fuel for Compression ignition (C.I) engines and it has cl...

in this study a heat exchanger is designed for cooling exhaust gas and an experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of exhaust gas recirculation (egr) temperature on destruction of the fuel’s availability due to combustion processes in idi diesel engine cylinder. to serve this aim an exergy analysis is conducted on the engine cylinder which provides all the availability terms by which...

global air pollution is a serious threat caused by excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation. despite the fact that diesel fuel is a big environmental pollutant as it contains different hydrocarbons, sulphur and crude oil residues, it is yet regarded as a highly critical fuel due to its wide applications. nowadays, biodiesel as a renewable additive is blended with diesel fuel to achieve ...

Oxides of Nitrogen are the major emission from a diesel engine. It is due to heterogeneous diffusion combustion system with fuel-rich regions, which produce high local temperature around the periphery of the spray where high formation rate of NO is promoted. Various techniques are therefore employed to reduce the NOX emission like EGR, SCR, etc. In this present work a rotating injector is a tec...

This paper presents a pre-mixed combustion model for diesel and Jatropha oil blends combustion studies. Jatropha oil blends are considered as a mixture of diesel and Jatropha oil. CFD package, FLUENT 6.3 is used for modeling the complex combustion phenomenon in compression ignition engine. The experiments are carried out on a single cylinder, four strokes, water cooled direct injection compress...

Diesel engines being inferior in their emission characteristics are under greater scrutiny. Intensive research efforts are ongoing for improving fuel consumption and exhaust emissions from diesel engines. For improving performance of engine, Ceramic based Thermal barrier Coating plays a major role. Tests were performed on four stroke, single cylinder, DI diesel engine whose piston crown, cylind...
