Abstract

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increased awareness of environmental problems, the world is looking to use alternative fuels. This paper is aimed at the conversion of waste edible oil into diesel fuel, which can then be used in Compression Ignition (CI) engines. Production of edible oil was 7.6 million tonnes in 2013-14. Sunflower oil is used in majority of the houses and restaurants in India. So, the availability of waste sunflower oil in restaurants and houses is more compared to any other edible oil. Therefore waste sunflower was considered as potential oil which could be used as an alternative to neat diesel fuel. The properties of waste sunflower oil (WSO) were determined, which includes its specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, flash point, fire point, calorific value, cloud point and pour point. The waste oil was initially refined using transesterification process and again the physical properties of refined waste sunflower oil (RWSO) were determined. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate and compare the performance and emissions of different blends (B15, B20 and B25) of RWSO on a four stoke diesel engine. The results indicate that blend B20 is an optimum fuel blend in terms of increased engine performance and reduced emissions compared to neat diesel fuel.

废弃葵花籽油作为柴油发动机的替代燃料

由于化石燃料的枯竭和对环境问题认识的提高，世界正在寻求使用替代燃料。本文旨在将废弃食用油转化为柴油，然后用于压缩点火(CI)发动机。2013-14年度食用油产量为760万吨。葵花籽油在印度的大多数家庭和餐馆都使用。因此，废弃葵花籽油在餐馆和家庭中的可用性比任何其他食用油都要高。因此，废葵花籽油被认为是一种有潜力的替代纯柴油的油料。测定了废葵花籽油的比重、运动粘度、闪点、燃点、热值、浊点、倾点等性能。采用酯交换法对废葵花籽油进行了初步精炼，并对其物理性质进行了测定。在四缸柴油发动机上，对不同掺合物(B15、B20和B25)的RWSO的性能和排放进行了试验研究。结果表明，与纯柴油相比，混合燃料B20在提高发动机性能和减少排放方面是一种最佳的混合燃料。
