Production, utilization and performance of diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blends in IC engines
Publication details: Ghaziabad Enriched Publications 2024Edition: Vol.8(1), Jan-AprDescription: 17-27pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Journal of industrial and mechanical engineeringSummary: Biodiesel is considered as a promising alternating fuel for CI engines. In the present work, production (using hydrodynamic cavitation), utilization and performance characteristics of biodiesel blends produced from waste cooking were compared. In the first session of research, the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil and various fuel properties were measured. In the second session, performance of single cylinder Kirloskar diesel engine has been studied at a constant engine speed of 1500rpm. During engine performance tests, the biodiesel blends showed similar brake power and while marginally higher BSFC and BSEC than the diesel fuel at higher loads were noticed. Engine emissions showed higher nitrogen oxide emissions, but decreased amount of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon for biodiesel blends compared to the neat diesel fuel. From the results, it is clear that the waste cooking oil-based biodiesel blends can be used in a CI engine without any modifications.| Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |

Biodiesel is considered as a promising alternating fuel for CI engines. In the present work, production
(using hydrodynamic cavitation), utilization and performance characteristics of biodiesel blends
produced from waste cooking were compared. In the first session of research, the production of biodiesel
from waste cooking oil and various fuel properties were measured. In the second session, performance of
single cylinder Kirloskar diesel engine has been studied at a constant engine speed of 1500rpm. During
engine performance tests, the biodiesel blends showed similar brake power and while marginally higher
BSFC and BSEC than the diesel fuel at higher loads were noticed. Engine emissions showed higher
nitrogen oxide emissions, but decreased amount of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon for biodiesel
blends compared to the neat diesel fuel. From the results, it is clear that the waste cooking oil-based
biodiesel blends can be used in a CI engine without any modifications.
