Performance and Emission Characteristics of Palm Oil as an Alternate Fuel in Diesel Engine
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
The main objective of this project is to analyze the performance and emission characteristics of palm oil as an alternative fuel in diesel engine. This project is carried out to overcome the energy deficiency in the present scenario. In this modern world pollution is the major problem in all the countries. This is due to non renewable energy resources usage as well as fuel blending ratio which is used in diesel engine. Now a day’s diesel is mixed with other oils and used as a alternative fuel in domestic applications. The pollution and energy deficiency is accepted by all the engineers in the world and many numbers of researches going on in this field. This is one of the researches to estimate emission characteristics in the diesel engine in both emission and performance. There are many numbers of alternative fuels available in this world among this Trans-esterification vegetable oil is most efficient and economical source. The following ratios of palm oil and diesel are taken as a blending ratio 25/75, 50/50 and 100% by volume. Brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency is calculated at given injection pressure of 200 kg/cm2. The performance parameters and emission characters are compared conventional engine. This project concludes that palm oil 25/75 at injection pressure of 200 kg/cm2, in comparison with 50/50 blends gives better results.
