“…This concurs with results obtained by Dubey and Gupta [49]. This is attributed to the fact that biodiesels are low carbon fuels and have a lower elemental carbon to hydrogen ratio than diesel [47,50]. Fuel blends having an oxygen content of less than 2.32% showed comparatively lower CO2 emissions.…”

In this study, 18 soapnut biodiesel-diesel blends along with soapnut oil as an additive in some blends were prepared and used in a diesel engine to investigate the effect of oxygen content in the fuel blends on engine performance and emission characteristics. Considering the large variations in the oxygen content of these fuel blends, the obtained results were demonstrated based on varying fuel oxygen content. Findings showed that the best engine performance was achieved with a fuel oxygen content in the range of 1.8%-3.0%, whereas the best engine emissions were obtained with a fuel oxygen content in the range of 0.71%-2.37%. Hence, considering both engine performance and emissions, the optimal zone of fuel oxygen content was found to be in the range of 1.80%-2.37%. Thus, it can be concluded that biodiesel blended fuels having an oxygen content in the aforesaid range can be successfully used in diesel engines with comparable engine performance and emissions to those using diesel fuel. Nevertheless, further research is required to reduce the fuel oxygen content to this optimal range if the blends consist of higher biofuel components. Besides that, the use of suitable additives in the biodiesel blended fuels may be a viable option to achieve the said purpose, which needs further research.

“…In maximum load, the amount of smoke value of diesel is 81.2 HSU and B20MEOJBA3ml blend is 57.1 HSU at compression ratio 17.5. Lower compression ratio drops the accessibility of O 2 for burning of fuel it reasonably reports in partial burning and improved development of particulate matter [13] .…”

The rapid depletion of petroleum fuels and their ever increasing costs have led to an intensive search for alternative fuels. Also, there was a need to reduce the consumption of diesel fuel in the developed and in the developing countries.The increasing industrialization and innovation of the world lead to a steep rise in the consumption and demand of the petroleum based fuels every year. The experimental work to evaluate the impact of various compression ratio using blends of diesel fuel with 20% concentration of Methyl Ester of Jatropha biodiesel blended with bio additive as an alternate fuel.The experiment was carried out with three different compression ratio in DI diesel engine. Biodiesel was extracted from Jatropha oil, 20% (B20) concentration with 3 ml bio additive is found to be the best blend ratio from the earlier experimental study. The biodiesel B20MEOJBA3 ml is tested with various compression ratio of 17.5, 16.5 and 15.5 respectively. The main objective is to obtain better efficiency, minimum specific fuel consumption and lesser emission using 3ml bio additive blends with biodiesel when compared with baseline diesel.

Compression ignition engines are ubiquitous and quite popular in the automobile industry today. Many vehicles used today run on compression ignition engines. Considering the significant market presence of CI engines, this experiment aims to looks to investigate and possibly improve the effect a certain fuel blend has on CI engine parameters. In particular, the endeavor of this project is to study the effect on various loading conditions of a CI engine running on palm oil blended (D90A10, D60A40, D80A20, D70A30, D50A50, D40A60) with conventional diesel. The comparative measurements of CO2 and NOX have been stated and analyzed, along with BSFC and brake power. The results showed that blend of biodiesel D90A10 showed average increase in brake power than diesel.
