Experimental investigation of performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a variable compression ratio engine using waste cooking oil biodiesel blends

Dvsrbm Subrahmanyam, Dr J Manikandan

Abstract


The performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a single-cylinder compression ignition (CI) engine fueled by biodiesels derived from waste cooking oil biodiesel (WOB) and diesel fuel (BF) were compared in this study. At constant engine speed (1500 rpm) and with five engine compression ratios (14.5-18.5) and 100% loads, performance and combustion studies were conducted. WOB blends exhibited slightly higher specific fuel consumption (SFC) and slightly lower oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions than BDF blends. Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and ignition delay (ID) were lower when comparing WOB and BDF, whereas carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were higher. At CR15.5 under maximal load, the cylinder pressure of WOB20 was marginally greater than that of BF.
