The threat of fossil fuel depletion and augmented environmental pollution caused by diesel fleets can be curbed by adopting suitable fuel and engine modifications. In the present work, effects of engine speed (r/min), injection timing, injection pressure and compression ratio on performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine were investigated. The ternary test fuel of 65% diesel + 25% bael oil + 10% diethyl ether has been used, where the tests have been conducted at different charge inlet temperature and exhaust gas recirculation. All the experiments were conducted at the trade-off engine load that is 75% engine load. When the diesel engine operating with 320 K charge inlet temperature, brake thermal efficiency has been improved to 28.6%. Meanwhile reduced emission levels of carbon monoxide (0.025%) and hydrocarbon (12.3 ppm) were observed during the engine operation with 320 K charge inlet temperature and compression ratio of 18:1. The oxides of nitrogen have been reduced to 226 ppm at 16:1 compression ratio with 30% exhaust gas recirculation mode.

AbstractIn recent years, engine emissions have been one of the important problems which are of great concern. Hence, there is a growing need to develop engines with reduced emission. In the present study, Variable Compression Ratio diesel engine model has been validated by comparing the simulation results with the experimental. The study is aimed at analyzing the effect of compression ratio, exhaust gas recirculation, fuel injection pressure and start of injection on engine performance and emission characteristics. Using composite desirability technique, the engine parameters have been optimized to achieve lower NOx, soot and ISFC. The optimum combination has been observed at Compression ratio 17.52, Start of injection −30.1 °aTDC, Fuel injection pressure 736.06 bar and Exhaust gas recirculation 28.29%. ISFC, NOx and soot are reduced by 2.37%, 29.11% and 83.81% respectively. Higher Target Fuel Distribution Index indicates the improved mixture homogeneity for the optimized parameters.

In this study the effect on exhaust gases of a diesel engine fuelled by biodiesel and coupling Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) has been done. EGR is a pre-treatment technique to trim down NOx from diesel engines as it is expected to reduce the flame temperature and the oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber. Fossil fuels so-called biodiesel is picked as the blending fuel. Existence of oxygen in Biodiesel aids complete combustion and anticipated to reduce CO and HC emissions. Exhaust Gas Recirculation technique can capably reduce the amount of NOx. EGR may tend to increase the CO and HC emissions, biodiesel which has higher oxygen content is blended to diesel so that it may compensate CO and HC emissions. The performance and emission characteristics of EGR along with biodiesel in a diesel engine are discussed.
