Performance testing of different blends of Preheated Thumba Oil on a CI Engine
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
This Non renewable energy sources (fossil fuels such as natural gas, petroleum and coal) are getting depleted day by day as the energy demand keeps on increasing. This scarcity of fuel has increased the interest among researchers to find an alternative that can be used in place of conventional fuels. Biodiesels are considered most promising alternatives for internal combustion engines especially CI (compression engines) engines. Biodiesel are vegetable oil or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl esters. In Present work preheated Thumba oil is used for blending with diesel to run a single cylinder CI engine. Preheating of oil leads to decrease in viscosity which results in better atomization and combustion of fuel. It is found that the performance obtained by blending fuel is comparable to diesel and emissions are also less as compare to pure diesel.
