The Behaviour of A Compression Ignition Engine Under the Influence of Diesel and Microalgae Biodiesel Blends

Abstract

In the days to come Algae is going to be everything. Wonders would be created using algae. Scientists predict that, from the oxygen that we inhale to the electricity that we use, algae would be the source of energy in the future. were prepared and nominated as MME10D90, MME20D80 and MME30D70. Experiment was conducted on single cylinder four stroke diesel engine and the experimental results were revealed that, at full load condition with MME30D70 the BTE and BSFC were improved by 14.09% and 7.69% respectively, CO and UHC emissions were reduced by 71.97%, and 15.56% respectively but, NO X was increased by 11.58% as compared with diesel fuel and smoke was reduced by 10.36%. Researchers said that, Algae could be a possible answer to the problems that the world would face in the future. Now biodiesel produced from algae is getting ready to address the fuel crisis. The present work deals with the utilization of Microalgae biodiesel to evaluate the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of compression ignition engine. Microalgae methyl ester (MME) was produced from crude microalgae oil derived from chlorella vulgaries using transesterification process. Various blends

A Diverse and Sustainable Biodiesel Supply Chain Optimisation Model Based on Properties Integration

“…Biodiesel has been one of the desired alternative fuels to replace petrodiesel due to its similar properties and lower emission of pollutants [2]. The main sources for biodiesel production are edible and non-edible oil crops, such as palm oil, soybean, canola, rapeseed and microalgae [3][4][5]. The conversion of edible oil crops into biofuel has created many issues around the ideology of using food as an energy source.…”

An Experimental Assessment on the Impact of Injection Pressure on the Characteristics of a Diesel Engine Powered with the Blend of Diesel and Microalgae Biodiesel

“…This assessment was concluded that, the PBR cultivation system has a significantly lower risk of production and total cost per gallon oil will be lower than ORP and also, they have emphasized that biofuels from microalgae to be an economically viable industry. N. Charyulu T et al [21] have tested a single cylinder direct injection water cooled diesel engine with diesel and microalgae (Chlorella Vulgaries) methyl ester blends and found that, 30% blend produced better performance, emission and combustion results than that of pure diesel. Gokhan Tuccar et al [22] have carried out an experimental investigation on diesel engine using diesel and microalgae biodiesel blends with the volumetric ratio of 5%, 10%, 20% and 50%, their results showed that although the performance parameters such as torque and brake power values are reduced, the emission parameters like CO and NOx were improved using microalgae biodiesel.…”
