Selection Of

The automobile sector which is growing day to day consumes the fossil fuel more than its growth. So there is a demand for exploring new sources of fuels for existing engines. This led to the growth in bio diesels which is an alternate fuel. An alternative fuel must be technically feasible, economically competitive, environmentally acceptable, and readily available. In this project esterified Nerium oil is used as an alternate fuel. A single cylinder stationary kirloskar engine is used to compare the performance and emission characteristics between pure diesel and Nerium blends. In this project selection of suitable nerium blend and selection of optimized injection timing for the blend is done. The Nerium oil blends are in percentage of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of Nerium oil to 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% & 0% of diesel. From this project it is concluded that among all nerium and diesel blends 20% of nerium and 80% of diesel blend at 30º BTDC gives better performance nearing the diesel. When comparing the emission characteristics HC, CO is reduced when compared to diesel, however NOx emission is slightly increased when compared to diesel. Hence Nerium blend can be used in existing diesel engines with minimum modification in the engine. It also describes the usage of non-edible oil to a greater extent.

AbstractThe authentication of neem oil and its blending with inexpensive vegetable oil, such as, palm oil is a common practice in the neem oil industry. This study was conducted to investigate the neem kernel (Azadirachta indica) oil (NKO) by blending with palm oil and characterize it by studying its effect on the physicochemical properties, dielectric properties and fatty acid profiles of the blend. Blending significantly influenced the color, dielectric, structural and antimicrobial properties of the virgin oil. The NKO was rich in oleic (44.97%), stearic (21.27%), palmitic (16.88%) and linoleic acids (14.08%). The addition of palm oil into NKO significantly influenced the fatty acids profile , which was further confirmed by the FTIR spectra and the dielectric data. Overall, determination of moisture content, palmitic and stearic acid content, color parameter "a" and dielectric measurements were found to be fastest and precise way to detect the NKO and PO blends.

This article presents the implementation of a 3.5 kW resistive load bank applied to a four-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine test bench that operates with an alternator.   With this experimental test bench, it is possible to perform mechanical, thermodynamic, and polluting emissions studies in compression-ignited or induced internal combustion engines.   Applying the quantitative research methodology, the design of the electric charging system is carried out. Power control circuits and safety elements are designed for the load back. CAD software is used to design the structure and casing considering anthropometric measurements. Also, finite element analysis (FEA) is incorporated to verify the structural and thermal design criteria.   he implementation of an electrical and instrumentation acceleration system for sensing power and torque in low-displacement engines showed a measurement error of less than 1%. Similarly, the FEA allowed to quantify the maximum efforts and guarantee a safety factor above 5.   With the characterization of the implemented sensors, a correlation coefficient of up to 99.97% was achieved. The power measurement displayed an error lower than 3%, which leads to a high characterization capacity of any thermal machine with equal power or less than the designed one.
