Jatropha oil was blended with kerosene in ratios; JOK0, JOK20, JOK30, JOK40 and JOK50 and benchmarked against conventional diesel fuel. The blended fuel samples was test-run on a TD110-TD115 TQ small CI engine test rig, and emission levels for the fuel samples were examined using an SQV automobile exhaust gas analyser. The JOK20 fuel sample offered a better performance in terms of higher BP, BTE,...
Recently, Jatropha, a fast growing tropical plant, has caught the attention of researchers because the oil produced from Jatropha is a non-edible. However, worse emissions, when using raw Jatropha oil in diesel engines, have been reported in the literature due to its higher viscosity and lower volatility. Therefore, it is necessary to find some way to reduce the emissions of diesel engines.In the...
In order to meet the energy requirements, there has been growing interest in alternative fuels like vegetable oils, biodiesels, biogas, LPG, CNG to provide a suitable diesel oil substitute for internal combustion engine. Vegetable oils, because of their agricultural origin, due to less carbon content compared to mineral diesel are producing less CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere. It also reduces...
