Abstract:

Hybrid biodiesel signifies blending biodiesels sourced from non-edible oil jatropha and waste cooking oil. The pressure variation inside the engine cylinder with hybrid biodiesel shows different behavior than raw diesel at various loads. Still, there is a minor change in crank angle degrees at which peak pressure is produced, which is aligned with the efficient operation of the engine. At low load conditions, hybrid biodiesel blends produce higher peak pressure than diesel. Still, peak pressure values are nearly identical as the load reaches its 100% capacity. The beginning of combustion for hybrid biodiesel samples is earlier than diesel but varies about 1 to 3o of crank angle. The value of the peak rate at which pressure increases for diesel fuel at low load is 1.83 bar/deg and increases with load, attaining 6.71 bar/deg at full load condition. The value of the peak rate at which pressure increases at low load for a hybrid biodiesel fuel sample containing 5% biodiesel each (J5W5) is 2.56 bar/deg and increases with load attaining 6.47 bar/deg at 100% loading condition. The maximum limit of the rate at which heat is released for different hybrid biodiesel blends at full load ranges from 53.39 J/CAD for J10W10 to 58.32 J/CAD for J5W5. The combustion analysis performed on hybrid biodiesel blends reveals that the lowest biodiesel proportion blend (J5W5) performed nearly identical to diesel fuel for various loading conditions.
