“…Smoke value for WOPOBDE1, WOPOBDE2, and WOPOBD was lower than that of diesel. This is owing to the higher oxygen present in biofuel, which enhances the oxidation process (Joy et al 2017;Devarajan et al 2017cDevarajan et al , 2018. Further, the smoke emissions of WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2 are lower than WOPOBD at all conditions.…”

“…The smoke opacity increases with an increase in the brake power. This is due to the increase in the higher quantity of fuel supply to maintain the constant engine power (Devarajan et al 2018). Smoke value for WOPOBDE1, WOPOBDE2, and WOPOBD was lower than that of diesel.…”

“…The brake thermal efficiency of diesel was higher than other test fuels (WOPOBDE1, WOPOBDE2, and WOPOBD). This is due to the higher calorific value of diesel (Deep et al 2013;Karthikeyan et al 2015;Devarajan et al 2018). BTE for WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2 was higher than neat WOPOBD.…”

“…BTE of all test fuels increases with an increase in brake power. At higher brake power, the frictional and other unaccounted losses are lower which in turn contributed to the increasing trend of BTE, by minimizing exergy destruction (Devarajan et al 2017c(Devarajan et al , 2018. The brake thermal efficiency of diesel was higher than other test fuels (WOPOBDE1, WOPOBDE2, and WOPOBD).…”

This study paves the way on reducing smoke emission and NO x emissions of research diesel engine by detailing the effect of water addition in biodiesel. Fuel samples were prepared with different concentrations of water in orange peel oil biodiesel (94% waste orange peel oil biodiesel + 4% water + 2% Span 80 (WOPOBDE1) and 90% waste orange peel oil biodiesel + 8% water + 2% Span 80 (WOPOBDE2). Span 80 was employed as a nonionic surfactant, which emulsifies water in biodiesel. Experimental results revealed that the nitrogen oxides and smoke emission of orange peel oil biodiesel emulsion were reduced by 11%-19% and 3%-21%, respectively, compared to that of neat orange peel oil biodiesel (WOPOBD). In addition, the introduction of orange peel oil-water emulsions in the diesel engine considerably reduced the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The overall hydrocarbon emission of WOPOBDE2 was 12.2% lower than that of WOPOBD and 16.3% lower than that of diesel. The overall CO emission of WOPOBDE2 was 17% lower than that of base fuel (WOPOBD) and 21.8% lower than that of diesel. Experimental results revealed that modified fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency and lower brake specific fuel consumption than that of base fuel at all engine brake power levels.

“…Many studies explored the usage of higher C-H alcohols to diesel/biodiesel blends (Joy et al 2017;Devarajan 2018;Devarajan et al 2018). Devaraj et al (2018) have found that the addition of higher C-H alcohols (pentanol) to diesel reduces CO, NO x emissions.…”

This work examines the effect of butanol as an oxygenated additive to lower carbon monoxide, smoke, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon emissions and to improve the performance aspects of Calophyllum inophyllum (Punnai) biodiesel. Singlecylinder, oil-cooled compression ignition engines are employed in this work. Neat Punnai biodiesel (P100) is blended with butanol at 10% and 20% by volume and labelled as B10P90 and B20P80, respectively. Methanol and alkaline catalyst (KOH) were used for the transesterification process for biodiesel production. The transesterification technique yielded 88% biodiesel from raw Punnai oil. Engine tests resulted in lower CO, smoke, NO x and HC emissions when fuelled with both butanol blends when compared to P100. In addition, BSFC (brake-specific fuel consumption) reduced and BTE (brake thermal efficiency) increased with the inclusion of butanol blends (B10 and B20) to neat Punnai biodiesel.

Alternate fuel research is aimed at improving the eminence of combustion behavior. This result focusses on the effects of injector hole number and antioxidant additives on combustion properties of diesel engine fueled with kapok methyl ester blends.Forty percent blend of kapok methyl ester was examined with a single cylinder diesel engine. The parameters of combustion such as peak pressure, net heat release, mean gas temperature were recorded and the influence of nozzle hole number and additives on the above said properties were thoroughly analyzed. From the experimental results it is evident that 6 hole nozzle along with B40 blended with 1000 ppm of tertiary butyl hydro quinone produced highest heat release rate of 102 J/ CA. Propyl gallate exhibited its lowest BSFC of 0.269 kg/kW h with B40 blend at minimum load.
