Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Turbocharged Direct Injection Engine using Biodiesel
Abstract
The increase in demand and rapid depletion of fossil fuels causes the whole world to fight with acute shortage of energy sources. As a result it is necessary to find the alternative sources of fuel like Bio Diesels, which is produced from natural and renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats.
In present work investigations were carried out on a four stroke DI diesel engine with five different Bio Diesel (i.e. Jatropha, Rubber seed, Mahua, Cotton seed and Rape seed biodiesels) separately to evaluate its combustion, performance, and emission characteristics. Among all the biodiesels tested, Rape seed biodiesel was found to be the best among all the five different biodiesels with respect to its combustion, performance and emission characteristics though the Rape Seed Oil Methyl Ester gave higher NOx emission and less thermal efficiency when compared to that of diesel. In last stage, the results shows that brake thermal efficiency was increased by 5.4%, HC emissions were reduced by 3%, CO emissions were reduced by 2.5 %, Smoke emissions were reduced by 2.5%, and NOX emissions were increased by 4% with turbocharger and TBC Piston when compared to the standard diesel engine using RSBD as fuel. Finally, it is concluded that Biodiesels reduces the HC, CO & Smoke emissions, EGR reduces the NOx emissions and the concept of Turbocharger & TBC coated piston increases the Brake thermal efficiency.
