Alcohols are gaining interest as an alternate biofuel for compression ignition engines because they contain oxygen and are produced using biomass. Since they have lower cetane number, they are suitable for premixed combustion applications. In this investigation, the authors have tried to improve a single cylinder diesel engine’s performance by injecting ethanol into the intake port during the suction...
Use of vegetable oils in diesel engines leads to a marginally inferior performance and higher smoke emissions due to their high viscosity and carbon residue. The performance of vegetable oils can be improved by injecting a small quantity of diethyl ether (DEE) along with air. The main objective of this study is to improve the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a direct injection...
The main problems with the use of neat vegetable oils in diesel engines are higher smoke levels and lower thermal efficiency as compared to diesel. The problem can be tackled by inducting a gaseous fuel in the intake manifold along with air. In this investigation, hydrogen is used as the inducted fuel and rubber seed oil (RSO), rubber seed oil methyl ester (RSOME) and diesel are used as main fuels...
