Performance and Emission Analysis of Biodiesel-Kerosene Blends and Their Emulsions in a Modern Small Di Diesel Engine

摘要

Researchers Are Finding Alternative Ways To Deal With The Depletion Of Fossil Fuels And Global Warming. Biodiesel Is Emerging As One Of The Alternativesthat Could Be Used To Cope With Both Issues Efficiently. The Biodiesel Used Was Produced Onsite By Transesterification Of Canola Oil. In This Study, We Tested Blends Of Biodiesel And Kerosene Along With Their Emulsionson A HATZ 2G40 Light-Duty 2-Cylinder Modern Diesel Engine. BK50 (Biodiesel 50vol% And Kerosene 50 Vol%), BK80 (Biodiesel 20 Vol% And Kerosene 80 Vol%) And Their Emulsions With 2.5% And 5% Water Were Examined. The Fuels Were Tested At Three Speeds: 1000 Rpm (Low), 2100 Rpm (Maximum Torque Speed), And 3000 Rpm (Maximum Power Speed)And At Three Loads(Low, ≈20%, Medium, ≈50%, And High, ≈80%) At Each Speed. The Performance Parameters Studied Includebrake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) And Brakespecific Energyconsumption (BSEC). For Emissions, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbon (HC), Oxides Of Nitrogen (Nox) And Smoke Were Examined.The.......
