EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF BIODIESEL FROM STERCULIA STRIATA.
2013
With this increase in population, industry, transportation the cost of fossil fuels will grow dramatically. There is a need of new technologies for fuel extraction using feed stocks that do not threaten food security, cause minimal or no loss of natural habitat. At the same time, the fuel should be environmental friendly so that environmental pollution should be minimized or eliminated. The search of vegetable oils as the fuels for engine has been developed. This paper presents the characterization, results of investigation of combustion performance and emissions characteristics of diesel engine using Sterculia Striata biodiesel. In this investigation, the blends of varying proportions of Sterculia Striata biodiesel and diesel were prepared, analyzed compared with the performance of diesel fuel, and studied using a single cylinder diesel engine. The brake thermal efficiency, brake-specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperatures, CO, HC, NOx, and smoke emissions were analyzed. The emission from the engine exhaust is lesser with the biodiesel compared with that of the neat diesel engine.
