Abstract:
The two alarming situations in front of the engineers worldwide are to reduce the usage of conventional fuels and to reduce the ever increasing environmental pollution. This project is aimed to investigate experimentally the performance of DI diesel engine at varying loads when fuelled with the blends of Palm Methyl Esters (PME) and Diesel. The experiments were conducted on widely used diesel engine without design modifications. All the tests were conducted at steady state and constant speed. The effect of varying load was evaluated in terms of Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Mass flow rate, Brake Specific Fuel Consumption, Exhaust gas temperature and Exhaust emissions by operating the engine with different blends of fuel. Experimental results showed that when the engine was operated with the blends of B0, B20, B40 and B60 at full loads the engine produced BTE’s of 34.19%, 32.67%, 30.0% and 27.35% which are very close to that of the Brake Thermal Efficiency obtained with Diesel alone. This is due to better combustion of fuel particularly at the blend of B20 (32.67%) the thermal efficiency was closer to diesel is 34.19%. Particularly at full load CO emission was 0.025% for diesel and 0.02%, 0.012%, 0.007% for the blends B20, B40 and B60.The NOX contents were found to be more for blends compared to diesel at all loads. This was due to the combustion and presence of intrinsic oxygen in the fuel blends. Based on the performance and emission characteristics, the B20 blend palm oil was found to be the optimum blend.
