Evaluation of Diesel Engine performance parameters fuelled with blends of biodiesel obtained from waste sesame oil

Abstract

A large number of researchers are working on sustainable source of fuel because available source of sustainable fuel source is very limited. Cost of sustainable fuel is also increasing at the same time these conventional fuels polluting the environment too. Blends of Bio diesel obtained from waste or used vegetable oil has been tested for diesel engine without any change in design. Some of the significance factors which impacts the performance of diesel engine are efficiency’s, fuel consumption and power. In existing exploration different blends of biodiesel obtained from waste sesame oil and menthe oil has been explicated in V.C.R. diesel engine. The important intention of this work is to explore the effect of the blends B20, B40, B60, B80, B100 and pure diesel fuel on performance
characteristics of engine. Different Blends are prepared by mixing the Biodiesel obtained from waste sesame oil with virgin menthe oil volumetrically. Performance characteristics of engine has been observed for above mentioned blends at 0% load , 25 % load, 50% load, 75 % load and 100 % load. Performance characteristics of diesel engine in terms of brake thermal efficiency, brake power, brake specific fuel consumption and indicated thermal efficiency were presented graphically. This work describes that brake thermal efficiency, indicated thermal efficiency, brake power is less for blends of waste sesame oil biodiesel and pure menthe oil while Brake specific fuel consumption is higher as compared to pure diesel oil. Blend B20 can be use as fuel in agriculture sector
