This paper emphasizes on the effects of different biodiesels and diesel on; heat release, ignition delay, endothermic and exothermic reactions, NOx, fuel injection pressure due to the fuel’s modulus of elasticity and cylinder pressure. Two 100% biodiesel and its blends of 20% with of low sulfur #2 diesel, and #2 diesel are tested on a single cylinder diesel engine under full load condition. Engine performance and emissions data is obtained for 100% and 20% biodiesels blends and #2 diesel. Testes were conducted at Engine Systems Development Centre, Inc. (ESDC) to evaluate the effects of biodiesel and its blends on the performance and emissions of a single-cylinder medium-speed diesel engine. The main objective of this work was to gain initial information and experience about biodiesel for railway application based on which biodiesel and its blends could be recommended for further investigation on actual locomotives.

Biodiesel blends were prepared by mixing low sulphur #2 diesel and biodiesel of two origins (canola and frying oil) at two different concentrations (5% and 20%). They were tested in a single-cylinder four-stroke medium-speed diesel engine under three engine modes representing idle, about 50% power and full load conditions. Engine performance and emissions data obtained with the blends were compared to that of engine running with the #2 diesel. Results indicated that the 5% blends could maintain engine power and fuel economy. Frying oil based B5 provided more significant reductions on CO, THC and PM emissions and increments on NOx emissions as compared with that of the canola B5 fuel. The 20% blends reduce engine CO, PM and smoke emissions, but increase NOx emissions by up to approximately 8%. Engine cylinder pressure and injection pressure data was also collected to provide additional information for evaluation of fuel economy and emissions benefits of using the blends.

Carbon Dioxide Co2

Alternative fuels for diesel engines have become increasingly important due to several socioeconomic aspects, imminent depletion of fossil fuel and growing environmental concerns. Global warming concerns due to the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as results from internal combustion engine have seen as one of major factor the promotion of the use of biofuels. Therefore, the use of biodiesel fuel (BDF) as an alternative for fossil diesel (DSL) is among the effective way to reduce the CO2 emission. In this experimental study, the effects on engine performance and fuel-induced emission characteristics were studied using fuel blends and under different fuel injection pressure. Even though the brake thermal efficiency was obtained maximum for the conventional diesel at standard operating condition, the same can also be achieved with biodiesel blends by increasing the injection pressure higher than that of the level used for conventional diesel. This experimental test was done using a small 4-stroke single cylinder diesel engine with electric dynamometer loads integrated with emission gas analyser that attached to the exhaust pipeline. As results of experimental investigations, decreasing in NOX Emission, SOX Emission, CO Emission and also brake specific fuel consumption compare to pure diesel.

Alternative fuels are in demand to overcome limitations of fossil fuels since decades. Indian Standards of biodiesel exists and its wide application is appealed and a National Policy on Bio fuels was implemented by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. This Paper presents a review of biodiesel, Indian standards and difference of ASTM/EN for biodiesel. Biodiesel and its different blend fuelled in Diesel engine exhibit different engine performance and exhaust gas emission characteristics. Various performance parameters affects compression ignition diesel engine (DI-CI) performance, list includes fuel injection pressure, fuel quantity injected and injection timing, shape of combustion chamber, position and size of injection nozzle hole, fuel spray pattern, etc. Few paramount factors governing DI-CI engine includes various types of biodiesel and its blending with diesel engine. Types of blending are namely mahua, jatropha, karanja, waste cooking oil etc. Authors have blended them with varying percentage with varying fuel injection pressure at different loads. Few have also used alumina as nano additives in mahua biodiesel (B25100Al2O3) to check it effects on performance parameters as well as on emission characteristics. Effect of blending with Karanja, Jatropha, Neem , mahua etc as biodiesel with inclusion of alumina as nano additives are reviewed for related performance parameters (i.e. brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)) and emission characteristics (i.e. CO, HC, NOx) in exhaust gas emission in different conditions for DI-CI Engine performance.

The results of experimental research on kinetics of fuel combustion of diesel engine A41are presented in the publication. The change of characteristics of indicated work (in‐cylinder pressure and temperature, period of induction, heat release and heat release rate) and fuel injection (fuel injection pressure, fuel injection phases) was determined in diesel engine running on RME biodiesel being compared to diesel fuel. The results of researches were used to explain experimentally determined changes of operational and ecological characteristics of diesel engine running on RME biodiesel. In addition, the reliability of diesel engine A41 running on RME biodiesel was evaluated. The presumptions of effective operation of diesel engines running on RME biodiesel were formulated.
