Preparation, Study of Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fuelled with Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel

As the years are passing by, the number of vehicles used for transportation is increasing. Due to this the environment is degrading and also the fossil fuels are depleting. This paper presents the performance and emission study on diesel engine using waste cooking oil with methanol as additive in various proportions. The properties such as the flash point, fire point, kinematic viscosity and the calorific values of the blends with and without additive are determined. Then all the biodiesel blends are used as fuel separately in the diesel engine. The engine performance as well as emission characteristics have been determined and compared at different blends. The blends with additive showed better properties and reduction in emission characteristics compared to diesel. The emission of CO is decreasing with increasing waste cooking oil and methanol quantity in the blends. Fuel consumption was more for the higher percentage blends with respect to increasing brake power. The emission of un-burnt hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen are reduced significantly with addition of methanol to fuel mixture due to higher oxygen and heat of vaporization.

Feed stock cost and NOX emission are the major barriers for commercialization of biodiesel. Waste cooking oil is well identified as one of the cheapest feed stocks for biodiesel production. This chapter reduces NOX emission of waste cooking oil biodiesel. Test fuel blends are prepared by mixing diesel (20 to 50 v/v%), butanol (5 v/v%), and waste cooking oil biodiesel (45 to 75 v/v%). Fuel properties of waste cooking oil biodiesel are enhanced due to addition of diesel and butanol. Brake specific energy consumption of the blends is higher than diesel fuel. Harmful emissions like carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and smoke opacity are lower for blends than diesel fuel. Increasing biodiesel concentration in blend also reduces hydrocarbon emission to a significant extent. The obtained results justify the suitability of proposed cheap blends for diesel engine emission reduction.
