Effect on CI Engine Piston by Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel

Abstract

The major contributor of pollution in the environment has been because of the transportation sector. Compression ignition engine has been a popular engine in the transportation sector. Compression ignition engines have been very popular in the power plants and marine engine because of its high compression ratio. Compressors and reciprocating engine(cylinder-piston) are the mechanical assembly in an IC engine. Change in air fuel mixture in the cylinder improves the combustion and emission. Rising concern for the environmental emission, strict rules have been implemented because of which automobile manufactures have to modify the engine to suit better the emission standards. Depleting fossil fuels and rising emission standards, biodiesel blend has gained interest as an alternate fuel, for being used in CI engine. Biodiesel could be produced from waste and non-edible oils, shows similar properties to conventional diesel fuel. Waste cooking oil as biodiesel have gained interest in the researchers. Employing waste cooking oil biodiesel in a CI engine, it was important to analyses the effect on cylinder and piston. This paper analyses and compares the thermal effect of the waste cooking oil biodiesel with conventional diesel on the piston of a CI engine.

Exploring the Environmental and Performance Implications of Utilizing Waste Swine Oil Biodiesel in CI Engines

“…This results in a more complete combustion of fuel, thus reducing unburnt hydrocarbons. Additionally, the unique fa y acid profile of waste swine oil biodiesel may contribute to more efficient combustion processes compared to conventional diesel, further decreasing HC emissions [28,29]. When compared with findings from other studies, such as those by Zheng et al ( 2023), our results align with the general trend of biodiesel leading to lower HC emissions [3].…”

“…Mandal et al specifically investigated the effect of waste cooking oil biodiesel on CI engine pistons. Their study found that using waste cooking oil biodiesel resulted in lower heat transfer to the piston compared to conventional diesel, which could reduce engine wear over time [28]. However, their study focused primarily on thermal effects and did not discuss broader engine performance or emissions.…”

“…The biodiesel then undergoes further purification, including washing with warm distilled water and vacuum drying to minimize glycerol content to below 0.02%. wear over time [28]. However, their study focused primarily on thermal effects and did not discuss broader engine performance or emissions.…”

Experimental Investigation of Multiple Fry Waste Soya Bean Oil in an Agricultural CI Engine

“…Direct-ignition compression-ignition engines (CI engine) capture a prominent share in the transportation sector [6] and other energy needs. The cost of the primary energy consumption fuels is increasing daily and due to increase in the population the need of energy is also increasing [7,8]. Thus, there is a strong need to shift to alternative sources of energy, which are renewable in nature, environmental friendly, Energies 2022, 15, 3209 2 of 14 and cost effective [9,10].…”
