ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE AND POLLUTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF CI ENGINE USING THE MIXTURE OF DIESEL AND EUCALYPTUS OIL

The present fossil fuel crunch and increasing vehicle numbers made us think of alternative fuels. The abundance of the fossil fuels is expected to be exhaust in another 20-30 years. The cost of the fossil fuels is day by day increasing in India and also the emission from these fuels increases the air pollution. With keeping in view of all the above-said points, it is made us think of alternative fuels for all Combustion Ignition Engines. The present investigation evaluates Eucalyptus oil mixed with diesel in a CI engine. A single cylinder CI Engine adapted to investigate the BSFC, BTE, Combustion and Emission characteristics. In this study, Eucalyptus oil is mixed with diesel fuel as the substitute in diesel Engine and performs various tests and evaluates its performance. The results were compared with standard diesel.
