Emission Reduction by using Linseed Turpentine Oil Blend as Alternative Fuel in Diesel Engine

Abstract

As due to the continuously increasing demand for fossil fuels and environmental threat, a number of renewable sources of energy have been studied worldwide. Currently, the limited petroleum reserves are being rapaciously consumed which also leads to various environmental issues. The use of renewable vegetable oils derived from plant seeds has gained attention worldwide due to raise in petroleum-crude prices. Physical and/or chemical transformations are used to improve the vegetable oil properties so to it will be compatible for use in existing engines. Thus, alternative fuels which are renewable and are also which does not cause any harm to environment are being investigated. Considering the world's insatiable ravenousness for petroleum, one of the best large-scale renewable sources are vegetable oils derived from natural plant seeds. Hence by this investigation blend of two bio fuels are used as a fuel in diesel engine. And its performance and emission parameter is measured and compared with diesel.
