Abstract:

 The objective of this experimental study is to check the performance characteristics of four stroke single cylinder air cooled diesel engine by using different blends of biodiesel (Jatropha). Two different types of emulsion fuels were taken: B5 (95% diesel and 5% bio-diesel by volume) and B10 (90% dieseland 10% bio-diesel by volume) to compare its’ performance with the 100 % diesel. Experiments on the engine were conducted with varying loads from 0 watts to 2000 watts with the help of electrical dynamometer by keeping engine speed constant at 1500 rpm. Experimental study shows the effect on fuel consumption, Mechanical efficiency, exhaust gas temperature and CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide), NOX (Nitrogen Oxides) and HC (hydro carbon) emission etc. with respect to the load on the engine. Emission of smoke, CO, CO2, HC and NOX of blend mixture were higher than the diesel but exhaust temperatures were lower than diesel.
