Abstract:Research on and use of biodiesels for engines is growing continuously in the present era. Compression ignition (CI) engine performance for biodiesels of blends B20 from Acid oil, Mahua oil, and Castor oil is experimentally investigated. The engine performance analysis in the form of brake-specific fuel consumption, brakespecific energy consumption, brake thermal efficiency (BTE), exhaust gas temperature (EGT), and air fuel ratio are compared with diesel as base fuel. Emission characteristics like CO, CO 2 , NO… Show more
“…Because biodiesel has a greater viscosity, it causes inappropriate atomization and poor mixing with the oxygen molecules present in the air, resulting in more smoke generation. From the graph, it exemplifies that when the pre-injection rectifies the above-mentioned single injection problems and subsequently increases the ammonia combustion, BSEC is reduced, thereby reducing smoke. − …”
Advanced combustion concepts in compression ignition
are emerging
as one of the most promising solutions to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO
x
) and particle emissions without sacrificing
fuel efficiency. Among many advanced combustion concepts, reactive
controlled compression ignition (RCCI) can achieve a wider working
range. In this study, to implement RCCI operation, ammonia gas is
introduced through the manifold as a low-reactive fuel, and biodiesel
is injected directly as a high-reactivity fuel with a 40:60 energy
ratio. The effect of biodiesel split ratio in a split injection strategy
(pre- and main injections) is examined under varied load conditions,
and the results are compared with ammonia/biodiesel single injection.
Results indicate that the use of the 45% biodiesel split ratio at
full load boosts the peak in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate
and shifts the peak occurrence toward the top dead center (TDC). An
increase in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) to 36.22% and reduced brake
specific energy consumption (BSEC) to 8.75 MJ/kWh are 12.33% higher
and 19.31% lower than ammonia/biodiesel single injection. Emissions
of HC, CO, and smoke opacity were reduced to 50 ppm, 0.098% vol, and
15.6%, which are 34.21, 39.13, and 33.89% lower, while the emission
of NO
x
was increased to 615 ppm, which
is 36.06% higher than the single-injection ammonia/biodiesel RCCI
combustion.

“…A large number of steels undergo martensitic transformations at CR 300 and CR 200 . The plots of critical cooling parameters reveal that, at essential temperatures of quenching, nanofluids achieve better cooling rates than water. − That suggests that nanofluids have a greater hardness when quenched. To examine this behavior, the researchers examined the thermophysical characteristics of the nanofluids.…”
Distilled water and aqueous fullerene nanofluids having concentrations
of 0.02, 0.2, and 0.4 vol % and titania (titanium dioxide, TiO2) nanofluids of 0.0002, 0.002, and 0.02 vol % were analyzed
for heat transfer characteristics. Quenching mediums were stirred
at impeller speeds of 0, 500, 1,000,
and 1,500 RPMs in a typical Tensi agitation system. During the quenching
process, a metal probe made of ISO 9950 Inconel was used to record
the temperature history. The inverse heat conduction method was used
to calculate the spatial and temporal heat flux. The nanofluid rewetting
properties were measured and matched to those of distilled water.
The maximum mean heat flux was 3.26 MW/m2, and the quickest
heat extraction was 0.2 vol % fullerene nanofluid, according to the
results of the heat transfer investigation.
“…is may be attributed to the lower CN; the higher LHV of ethanol reduces the cylinder temperature. e blend E20D80 and E30D70 shows decreased the oxides of nitrogen by 12.54% and 14.56% compared with the E10D90 blend [46][47][48][49][50].…”
In this research, the CRDI engine characteristics were analyzed with the aid of exhaust gas recirculation rate (EGR) adoption fueled with ethanol blends. The test fuels were the various blends with ethanol, such as (10% of ethanol + 90% of diesel) E10D90 (20% of ethanol + 80% of diesel), E20D80, and (30% of ethanol + 70% of diesel) E30D70. From the results, it was revealed that performance characteristics were reduced when using a higher concentration of the alcohols mixed with diesel fuel. The blend E30D70 showed that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) without EGR drops by 3.8%, increased by 9.14% of BSFC, a 9.25% decrease in oxides of nitrogen emissions, and slightly decreased CO and HC emissions compared to baseline diesel operation at 60% load condition. The blend E10D90 with 20% EGR shows the highest BTE of 8.87% when compared with base fuel, due to proper fuel mixture taking place in the inlet manifold. The results indicate that the engine runs smoothly, and E30D70 has chosen an optimum blend. A further experiment was performed using E30D70 with different rates of exhaust gas recirculation system. The addition of exhaust gas recirculation with E30D70 in the common rail diesel engine exhibits oxides of nitrogen emission, but in contrast, it was noticed to have inferior performance characteristics and drastically decreased HC and CO emissions. The hydrocarbon emission decreased E10D90, E20D80, and E30D70 at 60% load condition by 21.42%, 37.38%, and 48.76%, respectively. The blends E10D90, E20D80, and E30D70 decreased carbon dioxide by 7.9%, 30.08%, and 31.98%, respectively. The maximum reduction of NOx emission was observed at about 51.06% at an EGR rate of 20% with E30D70.
