The advantages of vegetable oil-based biofuels using in diesel engines have been demonstrated. Methods for determining of optimal composition for mixed fuels containing petroleum diesel fuel and methyl ester of rapeseed oil have been proposed. Optimization calculations of such mixed fuel composition for a type 245.12С diesel engine have been carried out using the proposed methods. It has been shown that a mixture containing 60 % of petroleum diesel fuel and 40 % of methyl ester of rapeseed oil has the best ecological characteristics among the researched mixed biofuels. Even better ecological characteristics are reached when such mixture’s ingredients are regulated according to changes of the engine’s shaft rotation speed and load.

The necessity of adapting diesel engines to work on vegetable oils is justified. The possibility of using rapeseed oil and its mixtures with petroleum diesel fuel as motor fuels is considered. Experimental studies of fuel injection of small high-speed diesel engine type MD-6 (1 Ch 8,0/7,5)when using diesel oil and rapeseed oil and computational studies of auto-tractor diesel engine type D-245.12 (1 ChN 11/12,5), working on blends of petroleum diesel fuel and rapeseed oil. When switching autotractor diesel engine from diesel fuel to rapeseed oil in the full-fuel mode, the mass cycle fuel supply increased by 12 %, and in the small-size high-speed diesel engine – by about 27 %. From the point of view of the flow of the working process of these diesel engines, changes in other parameters of the fuel injection process are less significant.

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). Today, vegetable oils, in particular, rapeseed oil (RO) are widely used types of fuels for diesel engines. The main physicochemical properties of RO are somewhat similar to diesel fuel (DF). However, one can highlight a large fraction of the oxygen content in it, which affects the fuel combustion intensity in diesel cylinders. In this regard, the addition of rapeseed oil is very important to optimize the composition of mixed fuel (MF) for its use in diesel engines. The purpose of the study was optimizing the MF composition and obtaining experimental data of diesel engine effective performance by means of regression analysis.Methodology and research methods. To optimize the MF composition studies were carried out to determine the relative fractions of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in RO and MF, as well as bench tests of diesel fuel and MF with various RO additives operation, followed by the regression analysis of effective indicators.Scientifi c novelty and results. The effective performance dependences of the diesel engine on the RO content in the MF have been determined. Basing on the obtained load characteristics of the diesel engine, it was concluded that an increase in the average effective pressure from 0.2 to 1.2 MPa, as well as in the share of RO in MF from 0 to 80%, would lead to an increase in the effective specifi c fuel consumption to 383–506 g/kW·h and the decrease in effective effi ciency by 14–28%. On the basis of the regression analysis the maximum values of the optimality criterion indicators D-optimum = 0.98–1.0 with the addition of RO to MF from 45 to 50% were determined.Practical signifi cance. The value of the maximum permissible composition of MF, consisting of 50–55% of diesel fuel and 45–50% of RO and ensuring maximum compliance with the specifi ed conditions of optimality on the diesel engine under consideration has been obtained.

This article off ers a method and technical solutions for using vegetable oil fuel as fuel for a diesel engine. The use of rapeseed as a fuel is hindered by its peculiarity, namely, the main problem is the high viscosity and high self-ignition temperature relative to diesel fuel. The authors propose technical solutions that ensure the use of vegetable oil fuel as a motor fuel in diesel engines. For research purposes, a two-fuel system was developed, manufactured and tested, which allows working part of the time on diesel fuel and part of the time on vegetable oil, in particular on rapeseed oil, depending on the engine operating modes. Experiments have shown high effi ciency of the two-fuel system, which excludes negative consequences for the diesel engine. As a result of the research, the team of authors obtained results and conclusions confirming that the dual fuel system allows the use of vegetable oils as motor fuel in diesel engines, while the engine operation is possible in all modes.

Improving the parameters of diesel engines is an urgent task. Work has been carried out to significantly reduce the consumption of their fuel with the introduction of water dispersions into the fuel. Currently, water-fuel emulsions with exotic emulsifiers are mainly tested. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in creation of a water-fuel emulsion without an emulsifier with a simple installation and identifying the influence of the composition and quality of this WFE on the performance of the YaMZ-236 diesel engine. (Materials and methods) The article presents a plant for the preparation of a "rough" water- fuel mixture from diesel fuel according to GOST 32511-2013 and distilled water according to GOST 6709. Authors conducted standard bench tests at the KI-5540- GOSNITI stand with a YaMZ-236 diesel engine with an upgraded fuel system and performed the control of the smoke content of the exhaust gases with the gas analyzer "AUTOTEST". The dependence of diesel performance indicators on the composition and dispersion of water-fuel emulsions without an emulsifier was studied experimentally with a minimum number of tests, but with the maximum possible combination of the values of three variable factors. (Results and discussion) The influence of various water-fuel emulsions on the performance of the diesel engine was evaluated according to the plan of a full factor experiment, including 20 tests. The second-order regression equations were obtained by mathematical processing of the test results. The feasibility of using water-fuel emulsions for diesel engines was confirmed. By modeling a water-fuel mixture without emulsifiers, there was created an aqueous dispersion with drops up to two micrometers. In the load tests of the diesel engine with it, there was noticed an improvement in its performance. (Conclusions) The introduction of 17-20 percent water dispersion with drops of up to two micrometers into diesel fuel reduced the specific fuel consumption by 18 percent, the smokiness in the K indicator by 20- 22, and in the N indicator by 30-35 percent.

For economic and social development of any country energy is one of the most essential requirements. Continuously increasing price of crude petroleum fuels in the present days coupled with alarming emissions and stringent emission regulations has led to growing attention towards use of alternative fuels like vegetable oils, alcoholic and gaseous fuels for diesel engine applications. Use of such fuels can ease the burden on the economy by curtailing the fuel imports. Diesel engines are highly efficient and the main problems associated with them is their high smoke and NOx emissions.  Hence there is an urgent need to promote the use of alternative fuels in place of high speed diesel (HSD) as substitute. India has a large agriculture base that can be used as a feed stock to obtain newer fuel which is renewable and sustainable. Accordingly Uppage oil methyl ester (UOME) biodiesel was selected as an alternative fuel. Use of biodiesels in diesel engines fitted with mechanical fuel injection systems has limitation on the injector opening pressure (300 bar). CRDI system can overcome this drawback by injecting fuel at very high pressures (1500-2500 bar) and is most suitable for biodiesel fuels which are high viscous. This paper presents the performance and emission characteristics of a CRDI diesel engine fuelled with UOME biodiesel at different injection timings and injection pressures. From the experimental evidence it was revealed that UOME biodiesel yielded overall better performance with reduced emissions at retarded injection timing of -10° BTDC in CRDI mode of engine operation.

Diesel engines are employed as the major propulsion power sources because of their simple, robust structure and high fuel economy. It is expected that diesel engines will be widely used in the foreseeable future. However, an increase in the use of diesel engines causes a shortage of fossil fuel and results in a greater degree of pollution. To regulate the above, identifying an alternative fuel to the diesel engine with less pollution is essential. Ethanol–diesel emulsion is one such method, used for the preparation of an alternative fuel for the diesel engine. Experimental investigations were carried out to compare the performance of diesel fuel with different ratios 50D: 50E (50 per cent diesel No: 2: 50 per cent ethanol –100 per cent proof) and 60D: 40E emulsified fuels. In the next phase, experiments were conducted for the selected emulsified fuel ratio 50D: 50E for different high injection pressures and the results are compared. The results show that for the emulsified fuel ratios, there is a marginal increase in torque, power, NO x, emissions, and decreasing values of carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions at the maximum speed conditions, compared with diesel fuel. Also, it is found that an increase in injection pressure of the engine running with emulsified fuel decreases CO and smoke emissions especially between 1500 to 2000 r/min with respect to the diesel fuel.
