Abstract

The primary source of global warming is the exploitation of fossil fuels. Biodiesel is a renewable energy source that can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has emerged as a promising alternative to petroleum-based fuels due to its lower carbon footprint. However, it is important to note that the economic and energy output of vegetable oil plants that are involved in the production of this fuel is not known. Current research trends on biodiesel fuels have been investigated on non-edible oils, which present better performance when blended with diesel. This work studies the performance of karanja-based biodiesel on VCR engines with different Diesel Blending Ratio (DBR) of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%. Engine performance and exhaust gas analysis tests are carried out on a VCR-diesel engine at various loads to examine specific characteristics of karanja biodiesel as a fuel. As per observations, DBR 10%, 20% of biodiesel exhibited better performance than the other blended fuels. To enhance the performance of DBR 10% and 20% biodiesel were graded up with the addition of 5% Methanol. The overall performance of all blended fuels is compared in all aspects.

混合Karanja生物柴油对柴油机性能影响的实验研究

全球变暖的主要原因是化石燃料的开采。生物柴油是一种可再生能源，可用于减少温室气体排放。由于其碳足迹较低，它已成为石油基燃料的一种有希望的替代品。然而，重要的是要注意，参与生产这种燃料的植物油植物的经济和能源产出尚不清楚。目前生物柴油的研究趋势主要集中在非食用油脂上，非食用油脂与柴油混合后具有更好的性能。本文研究了karanja生物柴油在0%、10%、20%、30%不同DBR条件下在VCR发动机上的性能。在一台vcr -柴油发动机上进行了各种负载下的发动机性能和废气分析测试，以检查karanja生物柴油作为燃料的具体特性。根据观察，DBR 10%、20%的生物柴油表现出比其他混合燃料更好的性能。为了提高DBR的性能，10%和20%的生物柴油在添加5%甲醇的情况下进行了级配。对所有混合燃料的综合性能进行了各方面的比较。
