Analysis of Hybrid Green Fuel Blended with Diesel as Fuel for Conventional Engine

We are in a scenario where the fuel prices are increasing and the demand for fuel is on the rise but the resources are reducing. There is a big gap between the demand and supply of fuel resources. Green fuel is obtained from vegetable oils, which is the best alternative fuel. Several types of research have been done on using a blend of diesel and green fuel. Nonetheless, quite less research has been done on using a combination of two different green fuel blends with the diesel. This has given a lot of opportunities to analyze the usage of such fuel in an engine. In this research, an empirical study has been made by performing certain tests on two green fuels from Kanuga oil and Eucalyptus oil and they are mixed with diesel using varied mixing proportions. The impact of using dual green fuel on the engine effectiveness and release of toxic gas have been investigated on a single-cylinder, direct injection, air-cooled, and high-speed diesel engine at various engine loads with a steady engine speed of 3000 rpm. On conducting emission test, the impact on the release of CO, CO2, HC, NOX, and smoke opacity have been examined. The brake thermal efficiency of blend A is higher in contrast to that of diesel. The release of smoke, hydrocarbon, and nitrogen oxides from dual green fuel blends have been high in contrast to diesel. But the exhaust gas temperature of dual green fuel blends has been lesser in contrast to diesel.
