Performance & Evaluation of Diesel Engine (4-stroke 1-cylinder) using Jatropha Oil Blends with Super Charging Method

The energy consumption is growing or increase at an enormous rate of demand and rapid uses of alternative fuels or renewable sources of energy and environmental threat, a number of non-conventional energy sources of energy generation varieties have been studied worldwide. An attempt is made to access the suitability of Jatropha oil (Bio-Fuel for diesel engine operation) without any changes in its existing construction. Bio Fuel can be prepared from Jatropha seeds, etc. In the present investigation work of Jatropha oil has been performed on 4-Stroke 1- Cylinder Diesel engine and this bio fuel is prepared through Transesterification process which is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of producing bio-fuel through different vegetables and seeds like jatropha seeds etc., The main need and objective of the study is to investigate the performance and evaluation of diesel engine using Jatropha oil blends with super charging Method. Engine performance, combustion and exhaust emission characteristics were investigated by using computerized system of diesel engine. Engine tests were conducted at variable engine speed (rpm) and four different engine loads, the effect of performance of diesel engine and characteristics of jatropha oil has been calculated. The experimentation is conducted on the different loads of diesel engine with supercharging method. The fuel composition was changed by each sample and comparison improved with & without super charger results. According to brake specific emission results, biodiesels emitted lower carbon monoxide (CO) emissions but they emit higher carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions as compared to diesel fuel. THC emissions increased and CO2 emissions reduced slightly for the blends containing biodiesel compared with B20 (20% jatropha, 80% diesel fuel) on average and supercharging method gives the high performance and more economical. The performance results of diesel engine and characteristics/properties of jatropha results were presented tables & graphically.
