“…The emissions of a diesel engine fueled with custard seed biodiesel were lowered by supplying hydrogen. Aurtherson et al 13 studied diesel engines' performance and emission patterns fueled with Prunus domestica kernel oil and diesel blends. Diesel blended with P. domestica kernel oil at 10% recorded lower HC and CO emissions.…”

The chief objective of this study is to utilize non‐edible, carbon‐rich oil derived from Prunus domestica seeds as blended fuel. The combustion efficiency of derived blends shall further be enhanced by blending higher alcohol into biodiesel/diesel blends. This work details the impact of effectively utilizing waste and non‐edible oil to replace fossil fuels partially. In this study, the P. domestica is trans‐esterified to methyl ester and blended with diesel at 20%. Further to enhance the ignition nature, butanol, higher alcohol, is blended to P. domestica biodiesel/diesel blends at 5% and 10%. The ignition pattern of the modified fuels is extensively studied and compared with diesel in a stationary research diesel engine. This study involves four fuel samples, namely, neat P. domestica methyl ester and is termed PDME. 20% of PDME is blended with 80% diesel is referred to as PDME20. 20% of PDME with 5% n‐butanol and 75% diesel is termed PDME20Bu5D75, 20% of PDME with 10% n‐butanol and 70% diesel is termed as PDME20Bu10D70 and diesel. Addition of PDME and butanol at different blends found miscible with diesel. PDME and butanol provided a suitable time for reaction and mixing, complete combustion, higher O2 content, and rich fuel‐air mixture, resulting in lower emissions than diesel. Further, butanol aided better atomization, effective combustion and resulted in higher efficiency with lower fuel consumption. Adding butanol also lowered the viscosity and improved the mixing process, and produced better in‐cylinder pressure and heat release rate.

The diesel spray process is one of the critical development zones in terms of diesel engine-out emission regulations. Detailed analysis of Palmarosa oil methyl esters fuel spray properties has been studied and made a comparison analysis with mineral diesel. Experiments under various injection pressures (200, 225, and 250 bars) have been investigated in a constant volume chamber (CVC). Studies have shown that the longest and shortest spray tip penetrations (STPs) for biodiesel and diesel were observed. A higher spray cone angle of about 17.5 ms for PMO fuels and 11.4 ms for diesel were found. The Sauter mean diameter for all test blends decreased with an increase in fuel injection pressure with the maximum reduction of 15 μm. Additionally, the spray volume of 0.4 cm 3 and spray area of 5 cm 2 increased respectively during 250 bars injection pressure. STP increased by 14.3 ms for Palmarosa oil methyl ester than diesel at 250 bars injection pressure. It is concluded that the fuel properties such as density and viscosity are the main influencing factors for spray analysis and play a significant role in the fuel injection system.
