In this study, Biodiesel -Dimethyl Ether (BDE ) was tested in a 4-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of the engine under five engine loads at the maximum torque .The engine speed was maintained at 1500 rpm. Here the jatropha oil is used as a non edible oil to produce the biodiesel. The dimethyl ether is used as an additive to enha...

This research work depends on enhancing the execution of the diesel engine when they utilized bio diesel oil as an optional fuel without real alteration of engine design. It is also required to grow non edible feed stocks in the waste or marginal land of Gujarat. Work goal is to recognize best suitable Bio-Diesel mix by keeping numerous parameters on it. Bio-Diesel mixes will be given credit sc...

aIn the present study a 4-stroke 5hp diesel engine was tested with Diesel oil plus cottonseed oil blends. The blends in different proportions (10 to 50 percent by volume) were tested at constant speed of 1500 rpm. The said engine is operated at different loads and characteristics like Brake power, Brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption etc. Engine performance for blends resulted in...

Viscosity of vegetable oil is considered a constraint for its use as an alternate fuel for Internal Combustion(IC) engines. In this experimental investigation, the viscosity of cottonseed oil (CSO), which is considered a potential alternate fuel, is reduced by blending it in different proportions with diesel, and its viscosity at various temperatures was analyzed and used as a fuel in a compres...

This paper represents the prospect of mustard oil as a renewable and alternative fuel. To cope up with present load-shedding situation and to reduce the dependency on imported fuel, Bangladesh government is encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Since diesel engines have versatile uses including small irrigation pumping systems, and standby small electricity generators, use of diesel ...

This study offers comprehensive details on the use of bio-fuel as a viable and alternative source of energy. The bio-fuel was prepared from vegetable oil, i.e., mustard oil and tested in a diesel engine in both pure form and as a diesel blend. The mustard oil blend proportions were 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% and named as bio-diesel blends B20, B30, B40 and B50. A fuel-testing laboratory determined t...

Introduction In order to overcome the pollutant emission limitations the use of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode must be considered in direct injection diesel engine using biodiesel fuel. HCCI mode reduces PM and NOx emissions without penalize the performances [1]. This occurs because the combustion develops with low temperature and burns a premixed air/fuel mixture. Biodiese...

Since last few years cement replacement materials with industrial by-products and agricultural wastes in concrete production are widely used. It imparts positive environmental effect because the waste materials are not released to the environment. It was reported that the leakage of motor oil onto concrete surfaces in old grinding units increased the resistance such concrete to freezing and tha...

In the study of thin film preparation using a low cost microwave induced plasma method, we have carried out calorimetric power analysis in a microwave oven with different loads. The calorimetric calibration was done with various heating loads like coconut oil, engine oil, fruit juice and water. The power consumption of water was higher when compared to other loads. The results show the comparis...
