Performance Analysis of Single Cylinder Four Stroke Ci Engine Fueled With Diesel, Biodiesel and Biodiesel Blends

Abstract

This describes the performance analysis of single cylinder four stroke CI engine where we used Diesel, Pongamia Pinnata biodiesel and it’s blends as a fuel by using 10%,20%,30%,40% and 50% biodiesl by volume of diesel(PME10,PME20,PME30,PME40 and PME50). The knowledge acquired here is useful for the development of biodiesel usage strategies in single cylinder four stroke CI engine inorder to use biodiesel blend as suitable alternative for the future use of IC engine. The experiments were performed on single cylinder DI engine diesel engine, with full load condition at constant speed of 1500 rpm. Combustion parameters were obtained from experimental data. Engine performance parameters for KARANJA biodiesel blend compared with diesel. Also exhaust gas analyzer is used to determine Emission parameters of fuel. Emission parameters for Karanja biodiesel blend compared with diesel.
