“…Most of these studies reported that engine effective power and brake thermal efficiency are lower and brake specific fuel consumption is higher for used frying oil methyl ester and its blends than diesel fuel, especially with increase of biodiesel in the blends (Canakci et al, 2009;Rao et al, 2008;Utlu and Kocak, 2008;Murillo et al, 2007;Sudhir et al, 2007;Dorado et al, 2003;Canakci and Van Gerpen, 2003;Prabhu et al, 2013). However, some studies reported that biodiesel could cause a slightly higher engine effective power than diesel fuel (Deepanraj et al, 2011;Usta et al, 2005;Najafi et al, 2007). These discrepancies can be related to the fact that, the biodiesel has different physical and chemical properties, which depends on the feedstock used to produce it, from those of diesel fuel, which cause changes in engine performance.…”

Abstract:In general, small part of fuel chemical energy transforms to effective power in diesel engines and other parts are going as energy losses, there for many researchers, as well as engine designers, are searching to increase this part by using various methods. In this study, the effect of pure biodiesel and biodiesel-diesel fuel blends on engine energy balance, compared with diesel fuel, has been performed. For this purpose, diesel engine coupled with a dynamometer, as well as, the thermocouples (to measure the temperatures in different locations) and the flow meter (to measure the water flow rate) have been used. In addition, biodiesel mixed with diesel fuel to obtain various proportions of the fuel blends. The engine heat losses through: Cooling water system, exhaust gases and by radiation have been calculated, on the base of experimental results. The results show that an increase of the biodiesel in the fuel blends lead to increase of heat losses. Moreover, the energy distribution from the fuel used for the experiments show a decrease in useful work, increase of heat lost with cooling water, heat lost with exhaust gases and by radiation by about of (average values) 7, 3.8, 4.8 and 4.5% respectively when compared with diesel fuel. The energy distributions were as 26, 27, 22 and 0.46% for useful work, heat losses with cooling water, with exhaust gases and by radiation, respectively.

“…The Maximum percentage error between experimental and theoretical values is 0.1691 and suggested that the ANN can be used as a powerful tool to optimize the input parameters in the C.I engine [3]. Biodiesel (palm oil methyl ester) blends in a direct injection diesel engine study shows that the lower blends of biodiesel increases the brake thermal efficiency, reduces the fuel consumption and produce lower engine emissions than neat diesel [4]. The performance and emission characteristics of neat diesel (ND) and neat honne oil (H100) as fuel in DI diesel engine and result shows, at maximum load, brake thermal efficiency and NOx emission decreased whereas emissions like CO, HC increased [5].…”

“…Combustion pressures and combustion period was increased when the DI engine running with Palm biodiesel compared with diesel fuel [9].The tail pipe emissions like CO,HC and CO2 were reduced, there is marginal decrement in NO, increase in BSFC and increase in brake power for DI engine fuelled with palmolein bio diesel [10]. Implementation of Palm biodiesel blend with diesel fuel produces lesser CO and HC pollutants but increase in NOx [11]. Performance of an IDI diesel engine fuelled with Mahua biodiesel and methanol blend decrease the pollutants NOx, HC and CO to considerable extent, increases CO2, decreases SFC and increases brake thermal efficiency [12].…”

Bio fuels are alternate fuels derived from renewable plant and animal resources. Biodiesel can be an alternate diesel fuel , because these are renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic and safe to handle as the flash point is more than conventional diesel fuel. It is an established fact that biodiesel reduces the green house gas emissions of Compression Ignition engines. In the present work, Indirect injection(IDI) diesel engine is employed because this engine contains two combustion chambers(swirl chamber and main chamber) which ensure better air-fuel entrainment and eliminate the problem of crank case oil dilution with the usage of additive in biodiesel. Neat Palm Methyl Ester(PME) substitute the conventional diesel fuel in an IDI diesel engine along with 1,4-Dioxane(C4H8O2) as an additive. Since 1, 4-Dioxane possesses higher latent heat [413kJ/kg] than that of diesel [280kJ/kg], its blending creates low temperature combustion and reduces the formation of NOx. 1,4-Dioxane evaporates and ignites first because of its lower boiling point (101.1 0 C) and auto ignition temperature (180 0 C).It initiates combustion of rest of the vapor in pre combustion chamber. Four additive blends of 1, 4-Dioxane in PME viz. 1%,2%,3% and 4% by volume were tested. Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT), Smoke and tail pipe Emissions are studied. 3percent 1,4-Dioxane in PME is considered as best choice and engine performance and emission characteristics was evaluated in comparison with neat PME and petro diesel fuels. BSFC is reduced by 2.64 percent compared with neat PME, an increase of BTE by 9.89 percent, EGT and smoke readings are decreased by 4 0 C and 20 percent respectively for 3 percent 1,4-Dioxane in biodiesel with respect to conventional diesel fuel at maximum load. Engine emissions are decreased by 2ppm for HC, 40 percent for CO, 10.89 percent for CO2 and 56ppm for NOx with 3 percent additive in biodiesel with respect to diesel fuel. It can be concluded that 3 percent 1,4-Dioxane in POME is suitable fuel for IDI Diesel engine as a suitable replacement to the petro diesel fuel.
