Emission Analysis of a Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Using Diesel with Castor Biodiesel Blends

Abstract

Automobiles are growing day by day it means usage of automotives are increasing, so usage of fuel also increasing. In this paper will be discuss the use of diesel with ethanol and castor seed oil blends in diesel four-stroke engine. This alternative fuel contains castor oil and ethanol so it increases the performance and reduces the emission compared to diesel. Ethanol is a good cooling agent due to blending of ethanol so the NOx will be reduced. For those mixtures the gas emissions of NOx, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbons (HC), are being measured by the use of AVL smoke meter. The experimental investigation has been done on single cylinder CI Engine coupled with an eddy current dynamometer, data acquisition system (Kirolskar high speed four stroke diesel engine with 3.2 KW, 1500rpm.) and the result has been recorded.
