“…This helps to achieve more complete combustion. Hence, CO emission levels decrease with increasing biodiesel percentage in the fuel, which in turn reduces the effect on health and environment (Muralidharan , et al, 2004; Zhang, and Rajasekhar2014). Figure 8 shows the variation of CO2 emissions with engine load for different fuel blends.…”

“…Bioethanol has a very low cetane number and reduces the cetane level of diesel/biodieselbioethanol blends, and therefore requires the use of cetane-enhancing additives (Xingcai et al 2004). Yaliwal et al 270 in the blend of biodiesel -bioethanol (Muralidharan et al 2004). Bioethanol has a much higher flame velocity and lower flash point than diesel fuel, requiring great precautions for handling these blends .…”

Renewable and alternative fuels have numerous advantages compared with fossil fuels as they are renewable and biodegradable and provide food and energy security and foreign exchange savings besides addressing environmental concerns and socio-economic issues (Yaliwal et al. Emission Characteristics of a Single Cylinder Direct Injection CI Engine Operated on Dual Fuel Mode Using Honge Oil and Producer Gas." PhD thesis, 1 -195;Banapurmath et al. 2011, Waste and Biomass Valorization 2: 1 -11). In this context, the main objective of the present work is to study methods of biofuel production such as Honge oil methyl ester (HOME) using a conventional transesterification process and bioethanol from the Calliandra calothyrsus shrub using a new pretreatment method known as hydrothermal explosion. Further, experimental investigations were carried out on a single-cylinder, four-stroke, direct-injection stationary diesel engine operating in a dual-fuel mode using HOME, bioethanol and producer gas combinations to determine its performance, combustion and emission characteristics. The performance of the dual-fuel engine was analyzed at optimized engine conditions. HOME-Bioethanol (BE) blends such as HOME þ 5% bioethanol (BE5), HOME þ 10% bioethanol (BE10) and HOME þ 15% bioethanol (BE15) were prepared by adding bioethanol to HOME (on volume basis) in different proportions ranging from 5 to 15% with an increment of 5%. In this present work, the effect of different BE blends on the performance of producer gas fuelled dual fuel engine was studied. Experimental investigation on dual fuel engine using BE5-Producer gas operation resulted in up to 4 -9% increased brake thermal efficiency with decreased hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and marginally increased nitric oxide (NOx) emission levels compared to HOME-Producer gas, BE10-producer gas and BE15-producer gas mode of operation. However, it was observed that, the overall performance of BE-producer gas operation was found to be lower compared to diesel-producer gas operation.

“…The high viscosity of plant oil (more than 10 times that diesel fuel) leads to poor fuel atomization and inefficient mixing with air, which contribute to incomplete combustion. Different methods have been suggested by researchers to modify the plant oils [11][12][13][14][15]. These include (i) cracking the plant oils, (ii) dilution of plant oils with diesel fuel, (iii) microemulsification, (iv) heating the plant oils before injecting into the combustion chamber, (v) chemically transforming the plant oils to biodiesel by alcoholysis (transesterification).…”

Engine performance and emission characteristics of unmodified biodiesel fueled diesel engines are highly influenced by their ignition and combustion behavior. In this study, emission and combustion characteristics were studied when the engine operated using the different blends (B10, B20, B30, and B40) and normal diesel fuel (B0) as well as when varying the compression ratio from 16.5 : 1 to 17.5 : 1 to 18.5 : 1. The change of compression ratio from 16.5 : 1 to 18.5 : 1 resulted in 27.1%, 27.29%, 26.38%, 28.48%, and 34.68% increase in cylinder pressure for the blends B0, B10, B20, B30, and B40, respectively, at 75% of rated load conditions. Higher peak heat release rate increased by 23.19%, 14.03%, 26.32%, 21.87%, and 25.53% for the blends B0, B10, B20, B30, and B40, respectively, at 75% of rated load conditions, when compression ratio was increased from16.5 : 1 to 18.5 : 1. The delay period decreased by 21.26%, CO emission reduced by 14.28%, andNOxemission increased by 22.84% for B40 blends at 75% of rated load conditions, when compression ratio was increased from 16.5 : 1 to 18.5 : 1. It is concluded that Jatropha oil ester can be used as fuel in diesel engine by blending it with diesel fuel.
