“…NOx, HC, CO and Smoke emissions were found to be higher at higher loads due to high aromatic content and longer ignition delay. Pugazhvadivu et al [2] used mahua oil as an alternative fixel for diesel engine. Roy et al conducted experiments on the recycling of scrap tyres to oil and carbon black by vacuum pyrolysis.…”

The steadily escalating gasoline prices, increased environmental concerns, and poor international politics have sparked new interests for alternatively fueled vehicles. There are numerous alternative fuel technologies including gasolinehybrids, diesels, full electrics, as well as hydrogen and ethanol. These technologies are changing rapidly and consumers are having difficulty trying to decipher which type of vehicle is the most worthy investment. In the current energy scene of fossil fuel, renewable energy sources such as biodiesel, bio-ethanol, bio methane, and biomass from wastes or hydrogen have become the subjects of great interest. These fuels contribute to the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, energy sources such as these could partially replace the use of those fuels which are responsible for environmental pollution and may be scarce in the future. For these reasons they are known as "alternative fuels". Vegetable oil cannot be directly used in the diesel engine for its high viscosity, high density, high flash point and lower calorific value. So it needs to be converted into biofuel to make it consistent with fuel properties of fuel. Biofuel production is a valuable process which needs a continued study and optimization process. Mahwa seeds, karanja oil and neem oil in India can be possibly a alternate approach in making a fuel for internal combustion engines and we also compare the above fuels by blending with diesel.

“…The exhaust gas temperature of ester in waste frying oil is decreased by 6.5%. Pugazhvadivu et.al [2] used preheated waste frying oil as fuel in direct injection CI engine. By preheating the high viscous fuel to 135°C, viscosity was reduced, BSFC & BTE increased, CO and Smoke were reduced.…”

The economy of a nation depends on the surface transport. The diesel engine is the main prime mover of the surface transport. Further, the galloping fuel prices and ever increasing fuel demands compel the researchers to focus on alternative fuel. Dr.Rudolf diesel was a pioneer to run his engine with peanut oil in Paris during 1905. Due to the higher energy content of vegetable oils i.e. nearly 80%-90 % of that of the diesel fuel and high cetane number of the vegetable oils are the most suitable factors for diesel engine. However, the viscosity is the only constrain and to overcome that the fuel modification is the one possible method to use the vegetable oil effectively. The use of non edible vegetable oil as fuel helps the agriculturist to reduce the dependability of fossil fuel. The bio fuels increase employability and reduce the rural migration to metro cities. Further, the rural economy will be strengthened. This paper is focused on the use of Simarouba Glauca esters and its blends with diesel as fuel starting from 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% respectively in a single cylinder constant speed direct injection diesel engine. The results are very encouraging that the performance and emission of the higher blends and SGE 100 is worth mentioning.

“…Table 1. Properties of vegetable oil compared to petro-diesel (Altın et al, 2001;Pugazhvadivu & Jeyachandran, 2005;Senthil Kumar et al, 2005;Agarwal & Agarwal, 2007;Murugesan et al, 2009;Misra & Murthy, 2011;Chauhan et al, 2012;Bousbaa et al, 2012;Yahya & Norhisyam, 2012 As shown in Table 1, the kinematic viscosity, cetane number, higher heating value, density and flash point of the alternative fuel for the CI engine are all substandard to petro-diesel. Based on this concern, this research has grouped the alternative fuels for the CI engine ranging from vegetable oil to higher viscous fuels (HVFs).…”

“…Many techniques have been used by researchers worldwide to improve the CI engine fueled by HVF. Among these are the use of HVF as an additive to petro-diesel fuel (Chauhan et al, 2012;Agarwal & Agarwal, 2007) to reduce the consumption of petro-diesel; preheating the HVF (Pugazhvadivu & Jeyachandran, 2005;Senthil Kumar et al, 2005) to level its viscosity; and adjusting the injection timing (Ye & Boehman, 2012) to inject the fuel at the highest possible pressure and temperature to increase the combustion efficiency. These techniques produce better results than a CI engine fueled with HVF; however, performance was still lower than when fueled by petro-diesel.…”

This paper investigates the in-cylinder air flow of a compression ignition (CI) engine modified by a guide vane swirl and tumble device (GVSTD) where the number of GVSTD vanes was varied to optimize its dimension to improve the CI engine performance using higher viscous fuel (HVF). Hence, eleven 3D CI engine models were developed; a base model and 10 GVSTD models, via SolidWorks. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were performed by utilizing ANSYS-CFX and simulated under motored conditions for two continuous complete cycles. The results are presented of the simulation of in-cylinder pressure, turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) and velocity during the fuel injection period until expansion. The recorded increments from six vanes of GVSTD were about 1.3%, 0.2% and 22% of the above results. Hence, this paper concludes that GVSTD has the potential to improve CI engine performance using HVF.
