Abstract

Fuel is an important parameter for the combustion and it depends on the behavior of flame. By using diesel and biodiesel blends as a fuel, study about the flame behavior and emission characteristics obtained. The results indicates that when use of the biodiesel as a fuel blend with the diesel fuel the ignition for biodiesel occurs earlier compare to diesel, the early phase of biodiesel combustion proceeds quicker compare to diesel. The flame lift off length (FLOL) for biodiesel is slightly longer compared to diesel. The sizes of particles generated from the combustion of biodiesel are smaller. Reduction in CO and HC emissions by use of biodiesel but there is increase in NOx emissions. There is less smoke produce by biodiesel blends.
