Abstract

In this study the role of performance and emission characteristic of single cylinder four stroke compression ignition engine have been investigated with different biodiesel blends at various ratios of jatropha oil and diesel.This experiment were conducted at injection timing 23?BTDC and the injection pressures are 210 bar respectively with blends D90J10, D80J20, D70J30. In this investigation the various performances such as brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions of CO, HC, NOX and smoke are analyzed and compared with neat ULSD and jatropha. The investigation were carried out using an experimental set-up consisting of a single-cylinder diesel engine coupled with AVL gas analyzer and the exhaust gas details were observed by smoke meter and the performance, combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed for the test blends. Experimental results indicated that, HC, CO, smoke emissions are reduced and NOX emissions are higher when compared to neat ULSD. BSFC is increased and Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) is lesser than ULSD and D80J20 has the best efficiency among the test blends. Comparing emission results, D70J30 has the lowest CO and HC emissions and D90J10 has lower NOX emissions which is still higher than the ULSD and also has the lowest smoke opacity.
