Experimental investigation of regulated and unregulated emissions from a diesel engine fueled with Euro V diesel fuel and fumigation methanol

The paper highlights the results of an experimental investigation carried out on Karanja oil as a supplementary for diesel fuel in Compression Ignition engine. In the present study, triglycerides of Karanja oil is converted into mono-ester (biodiesel) using based catalyst transesterfication process. Karanja biodiesel is blended with petroleum diesel in the volumetric proportions of 2−10%. Results reveal that the performance characteristics of Karanja biodiesel blends are well comparable with diesel fuel. The emission characteristics such as CO, HC and smoke are found to be lower for Karanja biodiesel blends at all the engine load conditions compared to diesel fuel. Hence, it is concluded that Karanja oil at lower blends can be used in diesel engine without any substantial engine modification.

Biodiesels which have been derived from non-edible vegetable oils are bagging the interest of researchers. These have been recognized as the potential alternatives of regular petroleum fuels. In this work, oil extracted from Juliflora seeds is converted as biodiesel by the transesterification process and used as alternative fuel in diesel engines. The tests are conducted by using diesel, B10, B20, B30 and B40. The experimental results of this study have disclosed that the Juliflora biodiesel blends have shown similar characteristics as diesel fuel. The BTE, CO, HC and smoke emissions are low for biodiesel blends while BSFC and NOx emissions are slightly higher. Taking all results into account it can be clinched that B10 blend of Juliflora biodiesel has viable option for diesel engine applications.
