“…It was also observed that at normal condition, CRBME blend shows a higher EGT than diesel at all loads, which indicate an improved combustion. This is due to the oxygen present in CRBME (Rao, Saravanan, and Ilavarasi 2009). At modified condition, the EGT of CRBME blend was lower than that of diesel and CRBME blend at normal condition.…”

“…of oxygen in its molecular structure. The oxygen present in the CRBME blend initiates the combustion earlier than diesel (Rao, Saravanan, and Ilavarasi 2009), which may lead to a significant pressure rise before TDC and may also contribute to increased compression work and heat loss resulting in a decreased brake thermal efficiency. As a result of combustion modification, the efficiency of CRBME blend was increased by about 6% and Table 4.…”

In this study, an attempt was made to reduce the higher oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) emission of a crude rice bran oil methyl ester (CRBME) blend through modification of combustion process by retarding fuel injection timing and exhaust gas recirculation at an increased fuel injection pressure. At modified condition, delay period and peak pressure of CRBME blend were lower than those at normal condition. The occurrence of maximum heat release rate retarded with a higher magnitude when compared with normal condition. Experimental results show that as a result of combustion modification, NO x and carbon monoxide emissions were reduced significantly with marginal increase in smoke density. Brake thermal efficiency and unburnt hydrocarbon emissions of the engine were increased significantly as a result of this modification process. This investigation shows that the NO x emission of a biodiesel blend can be reduced with less sacrifice on smoke density and increase in the brake thermal efficiency by modifying the combustion process.
