Effects of varying the compression ratio on the performance of a biodiesel fuelled diesel engine
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Improved thermal efficiency, reductions in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions from biodiesel fuelled diesel engines are important issues in engine research. To achieve these, rapid and better air-fuel mixing is the most important requirement. The mixing quality of biodiesel with air can be generally improved by selecting the best engine design parameters. Experiments were performed using a single cylinder Direct Injection (DI) diesel engine at different compression ratios. The effects of varying the compression ratio on the combustion, performance and exhaust emissions using a blend of 20% Pongamia Oil Methyl Ester (POME20) by volume in diesel were evaluated.
