Abstract |
In this experimental Investigation on Diesel Engine and other petroleum products being non-renewable sources of energy are fast depleting. According to scientific analysis petro products will be completely deplete in next 30-40 years. Hence research work is on to find alternative fuels to fuel our vehicles. Many alternative fuels have been found and experiments are being done to put them to use in place of present fuels. The problem with those alternative fuels like using electricity to run our automobiles results in a complete makeover of automobile models rendering the old ones useless. Hence we need such alternative and replenish able resources that do not require any major modifications done to the automobile design, mainly engine design. One such fuel is coconut oil bio-diesel which has excellent properties compared to other bio-diesels and has properties very near to those of ordinary diesel. So no modifications are necessary in the engine design. It has very less exhaust emissions compared to other biodiesels and even diesel making it the most environment friendly fuel. In this paper we have conducted experiments to chart out bio-diesel properties and compared them with those of neat diesel by preparing our own coconut bio-diesel and went to conduct load tests with 100% bio-diesel (also called B100) and also blend B80, B60, B40 and B20 and compared this with results with those done with neat diesel. |
