Effect of Oxygen Enrichment of Intake Air on the Performance and Emission of Single Cylinder CI Engine Fueled with Cardanol Blends

In this present investigation titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-fluid was blended with aphanizomenon flos (AF) biodiesel (20%)-diesel (80%) blend. Different percentages of TiO2 such as 5%, 10%, and 15%, was added with AF-D (aphanizomenon flos-diesel) blends. The blends are named as AFD-5TiO2, AFD-10TiO2, and AFD-15TiO2. The performance and emission parameters of a single cylinder CI engine fueled with AFD-TiO2 blends were experimentally investigated. The results reveal that, with the use of TiO2 nano particles, AFD-10TiO2 blend gave optimum results. BSFC decreased by about 5% and BTE increased by about 2% with the addition of TiO2 nano-particle as a catalyst. The tailpipe emissions such as CO, HC, smoke reduced drastically, but the NO emission increased, with the use of TiO2 nano-particles.

Extensive usage of automobiles with conventional fuels has led to excessive air pollution. This adverse situation initiated a need for developing an alternative fuels which can resolve pollution problems and act as a substitute to conventional fuel. One such alternative identified is biodiesel. In this study waste cooking oil and fish oil is used to prepare blends of F10, F20, F30 and C10, C20, C30. These blends are used to evaluate the performance and emission of a computerized P244 Kirloskar single cylinder four stroke water cooled diesel engine.

Abstract Background: The need of bioethanol is being increased nowadays; hence the production of bioethanol must be increased using cheaper and eco-friendly raw materials. Based on these criteria, different leaves wastes are considered as cheaper and eco-friendly. In the present study selected tree leaves wastes such as Rain tree, Jackfruit tree, Mango tree and Singapore cherry tree leaves waste were used as raw materials to produce bioethanol by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast). The operating conditions are pH 6.5, temperature 27±2°C, speed 80rpm, fermentation period 10 days. Also an attempt has been made to find out the suitability of extracted bioethanol as a fuel in CI engine. Results: Experimental work on performance and emission characteristics of ethanol blended diesel fuel was conducted on single cylinder four stroke CI engines at operating pressure 210 bar. The results obtained from this work shows that the higher rate of ethanol can be produced through fermentation of wet Jackfruit tree leaves, which gives good percentage of ethanol as compared to other tree leaves wastes. Conclusions: The conversion of waste into fuel, which forms an attractive solution towards both waste management and Biofuels generation.This study concludes that the Jackfruit tree leaves contain rich fermentable sugar can be converted into useful products like bioethanol that can serve as an alternative energy source.
