The Effect of Using Waste Corn Oil on Compression Ignition Engine Performance

摘要

Biodiesel is one of the alternative fuels types which is renewable, and it is represented as a friend for the environment. This fuel can be used in diesel engines without or with slight adjustments. In the current study, an experimental study was performed on four strokes, single cylinder diesel engine to detect the effect of using waste corn oil on compression ignition engine performance. The waste corn oil was mixed with the traditional diesel fuel into percent of (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) by volume. Different engine speeds were used in this work from (1400 to 3000) rpm into 300-rpm increment. The experimental consequences displayed that the waste cooking oil and conventional diesel blend rise the brake specific fuel consumption up to (11.4%). The results revealed that the use these blends reduced the exhaust gas emissions nearly by (25.625%) of CO, (32.2%) of HC, but increasing CO_2 and NO_X emissions by (41.20%, 29.92%) respectively.
