Experimental investigations of performance and emissions of Karanja oil and its blends in a single cylinder agricultural diesel engine

Characteristics of vegetable oils for use as fuel in stationary diesel engines—Towards specifications for a standard in West Africa

“…On average, this temperature is reached at 70% of maximum engine load [13] [7]. From a practical viewpoint, two options can be used to apply the principles described above to run stationary diesel engines on SVOs; it is necessary to either i) blend SVOs with diesel at a low oil content [35,65], or ii) adapt engines for dual-fuelling [35,65]: The blending solution overcomes SVO viscosity and injection problems, hence the combustion problem. However, in order for the blend to retain combustible properties close to those of fuel oil, SVOs must not be used in proportions exceeding 30% [13,53].…”

EFFECT OF ACID & IODINE VALUE OF KARANJA OIL METHYL ESTER (KOME) & ITS STATISTICAL CORRELATION WITH GROSS CALORIFIC VALUE

“…Most of the country in the world that are agricultural, due to fluctuating global prices of the crude oil has an adverse impact on economy of many nations especially oil importing countries, apart from the fossil diesel is non -renewable source of energy, due to the depletion of fossil diesel fuels, the prices are also increasing day by day ultimately it leads to the economic recession in the various developing countries.If we see the previous data the diesel consumption itself in India 2008 -2009 was 51.7 million Tons and 159.7 million Tons of CO 2 was likely to be generated by such usage of fossil diesel [4].…”

Performance and Emission Characteristics of an IDI Diesel Engine Fuelled Biodiesel (Rubber Seed Oil and Palm Oil Mix) Diesel Blends

“…At 20% blend ratio BSFC was noticed to be higher than that of diesel due to lower heating value. As a result more fuel is needed to obtain same power output [9,14,15]. Fig.2.Torque of neat diesel and bio-diesel blends at difference speed for full load.…”
