Abstract |
Today in this fast developing world the need of various transportation system is increasing day by day, in the result of this number of vehicles and engines are increasing, but the conventional fuel used in the vehicles (like diesel and petrol) are limited and decreasing gradually with time. So there is a requirement of various means to drive these vehicles without a heavy modification in the engine of these vehicles. This situation leads to requirement of alternative fuels for engines. Biodiesel is the best substitute of the Diesel in the Diesel Engine. The main advantage of Bio-diesel over the conventional fuel (as diesel in the diesel engine) is of reducing the cost and able to reduce net CO2 and CO emissions to atmosphere due to their agricultural origin. In this paper we investigate the prospective of Palm oil to use as a Bio-diesel in the conventional diesel engine. Palm oil is derived from an oleaginous tropical plant, has the highest oil productivity per unit of land on earth. Which has been considered as a sustainable alternate fuel for diesel engine and also Palm plant is renewable and non-edible. However several durable and operational problems of using straight palm oils in the diesel engine are occurred due to their higher viscosity and low volatility as compare to diesel fuel. In this experimental work, performance of diesel engine operating on certain load with Palm oil was evaluated and compared with diesel operation. The performance parameter considered for comparing is brake specific fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency. This study targets on investigating the effect of biodiesel on performance and emission of diesel engine. |
