Abstract:

Diesel engines emits more hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The rapid depletion of conventional fossil fuels has promoted research towards alternative fuels for internal combustion(IC) engines. The tropical climatic condition in Asia favours the growth of Karanja which can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel through transesterification process. Due to their higher density and viscosity of bio diesel it need more heat to vaporize the fuel which can be achieved by LHR engine. The combustion components of the engine are coated with partially stabilized zirconia. The basic requirements of good thermal barrier coatings are low thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, experiencing same thermal expansion coefficient with metallic substrate and high melting point. In this work the injection pressure and its effects on the biodiesel are investigated. The conventional spring-loaded injector is used for making comparison with the advanced electronic fuel injection system. In this work Karanja oil is blended with diesel based on Mass fraction and performance and emissions are measured for B20. The result shows decreased emission of HC, CO, NOx and Smoke. The experiments are conducted in a constant speed engine with and without coating using diesel, biodiesel blends and 20%.
