Used Vegetable Oil

Biomass derived vegetable oil is a promising alternative fuel for an internal combustion engine. Direct use of vegetable oil has inferior performance with higher emission due to its higher viscous in nature. This can be overcome by transesterification process with its byproduct which is called as used vegetable oil methyl ester. While blending this biodiesel with fossil diesel upto maximum of 30:70, will give the higher performance and lower emission than the fossil diesel alone. In this present study biodiesel in the form of B23 is used in a four stroke water cooled variable compression ratio engine without any modifications. The performance and emission characteristics are studied with different compression ratio and compared with a base line fossil diesel mode operation. This study reveals that the compression ratio of 18 is the optimum in the view of ignition delay, maximum pressure crank angle, exhaust gas temperature and Smoke emission.

The Impact

This paper deals with the use of the internal combustion piston engine, which is a drive unit for micro-cogeneration units. The introduction is a brief statement of the nature of gas mixture compositions that are useful for the purposes of combustion engines, together with the basic physical and chemical properties relevant to the burning of this gas mixture. Specifically, we will discuss low-energy gases (syngases) and mixtures of natural gas with hydrogen. The second section describes the conversion of the Lombardini LGW 702 combustion engine that is necessary for these types of combustion gases. Before the experimental measurements, a simulation in the Lotus Engine simulation program was carried out to make a preliminary assessment of the impact on the performance of an internal combustion engine. The last section of the paper presents the experimental results of partial measurements of the performance and emission parameters of an internal combustion engine powered by alternative fuels.

The application of the constant temperature hot-wire anemometer to the measurement of instantaneous gas velocity in the pre-chamber of a motored I.C. engine is shown to be possible. The correction of the anemometer output to allow for the operation of the wire at conditions greatly removed from those of a windtunnel calibration are discussed. The variation of gas velocity at a fixed point in the pre-chamber with variation of engine compression ratio and engine speed was studied.
