The present study deals with combustion, emission and performance characteristics of a single cylinder, four‐stroke DI, water cooled diesel engine fuelled with diesel, Simarouba glauca oil added with ethanol as additives and its various blends. In current research, experiments were conducted to study the effect of viscosity, calorific value and density on combustion, performance and emission characteristics of S. glauca oil with ethanol as additives, and its different blends, including BD50, BD50E5%, and BD50E10%. The result shows that diesel has the lowest brake specific fuel consumption with other biodiesel, whereas BD50E10% showed the lowest value as compared to other biodiesel. Furthermore, it was found that Brake Thermal Efficiency of diesel was the highest as compared to other biodiesel while BD50E10% was the highest among all. The maximum peak pressures for diesel, BD50, BD50E5%, and BD50E10% are 74.71 bar, 69.26 bar, 71.40 bar, and 73.69 bar, respectively, at 100% load condition. The HRR for BD50E10% was the highest at 100% load condition as compared with diesel and biodiesel. Conclusively, the findings of this study indicate that BD50E10% is the best alternative fuel for diesel engines. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13146, 2019

“…Imran et al [27] thoroughly examined the impact of RME on CI engine performance and emissions under various engine speeds and loads and demonstrated the positive influence of this biofuel on CI engine soot reduction. Previously published experimental studies have compared the relative impact of RME on CI engine performance and emissions compared to other biodiesels such as soybean oil methyl ester (SME) and palm oil methyl ester (PME) [28], gas-to-liquid (GTL) [29], and bioethanol [30]. As in many cases, RME combustion in CI engines results in deterioration of NOx emissions compared to conventional diesel operation; the use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has also been examined in CI engine burning blends of conventional diesel oil and RME as an effective method for NOx emissions curtailment [31].…”

An experimental investigation is performed in a single-cylinder direct-injection (DI) diesel engine using city diesel oil called DI1 and two blends of DI1 with a mixture of glycol ethers. The addition of glycol ethers to fuel DI1 produced oxygenated fuels GLY10 (10.2 mass-% glycol ethers) and GLY30 (31.3 mass-% glycol ethers) with 3% and 9% oxygen content, respectively. The addition of biofuel rapeseed methyl ester (RME) to fuel DI1 produced oxygenated blend RME30 (31.2 mass-% RME) with 3% oxygen content. Engine tests were performed with the four fuels in the DI diesel engine at 2500 RPM and at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of full load. The experimental diesel engine was equipped with devices for recording cylinder pressure, injection pressure, and top dead center (TDC) position and also it was equipped with exhaust gas analyzers for measuring soot, NO, CO, and HC emissions. A MATLAB 2014 code was developed for analyzing recorded cylinder pressure, injection pressure, and TDC position data for all obtained engine cycles and for calculating the main engine performance parameters. The assessment of the experimental results showed that glycol ethers have more beneficial impact on soot and NO emissions compared to RME, whereas RME have less detrimental impact on engine performance parameters compared to glycol ethers.

“…Bioethanol is obtained through the fermentation of agricultural products containing sugar and starch such as sugar beet, sugar cane, corn, wheat and wood-like plants (Park et al, 2012;Guido et al, 2013). The use of bioethanol in diesel engines provides a decrease in the amount of particulate matter (PM) in exhaust emissions (Zhou et al, 2013;Hadi et al, 2009;Yilmaz and Sanchez, 2012).…”

The changes in the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of bioethanol-safflower biodiesel and diesel fuel blends used in a common rail diesel engine were investigated in this experimental study. E20B20D60 (20% bioethanol, 20% biodiesel, 60% diesel fuel by volume), E30B20D50, E50B20D30 and diesel fuel (D) were used as fuel. Engine power, torque, brake specific fuel consumption, NOx and cylinder inner pressure values were measured during the experiment. With the help of the obtained experimental data, an artificial neural network was created in MATLAB 2013a software by using back-propagation algorithm. Using the experimental data, predictions were made in the created artificial neural network. As a result of the study, the correlation coefficient was found as 0.98. In conclusion, it was seen that artificial neural networks approach could be used for predicting performance and emission values in internal combustion engines.
