Abstract |
|
Biodiesel utilization in diesel engines has got interest due to population growth and industrialization during past years. It has been proven to be a good substitute because of its performance comparable to diesel. In present work, the effects of engine load and amount of biodiesel percentage on the engine performance and combustion characteristics of single cylinder, diesel engine has been studied. The dual biodiesel blends of Argemone Mexicana and Mahua (Madhuca indica) are used and the parameters like Heat Release Rate (HRR), Indicated Thermal Efficiency (ITE), Peak Pressure and volumetric efficiency have been evaluated. The results for lighter blend of biodiesel D80A10M10 (i.e 80% Diesel, 10% Argemone and 10% Mahua) with diesel showed 1.31% increase in volumetric efficiency. There is slight reduction have been observed in indicated thermal efficiency for all the blends. The heat release rate is maximum for the diesel. |
