Experimental Investigation on the Influence of Palm Oil Biodiesel in a Diesel Engine

The majority of petroleum products are utilised in automobiles, and an alarming problem of outflow is the thickening of vehicles in urban areas. An alternate fuel option is biodiesel. A renewable and generally domestic source, such as fresh or used vegetable oil or animal fats, are trans esterified with an alcohol methanol or ethanol in the presence of a catalyst to create biodiesel. It has been demonstrated that using biodiesel lowers engine emissions of SOx, CO, and particulate matter PM . It has been shown that biodiesel lowers the emission of CO, CO2, and hydrocarbons. Among all current raw materials, palm oil contains a high concentration of palmitic and oleic acids, which are generally acknowledged as the best sources for biodiesel synthesis. In this Present work, Experiments were carried out in this thesis on a compresses injection internal combustion engine and a naturally aspirated diesel engine to investigate the performance characteristics and production of biodiesel and its mixes derived from Palm Biodiesel. Experiments with only 10 and 20 blending with diesel fuels were carried out. Results revealed that at 1500 rpm constant engine speed, the brakes thermal efficiency of B10 and B20 is comparable to or lower than diesel fuel. The thermal efficiency of B20 brakes was found to be more equivalent to diesel. More blending are necessary for a thorough knowledge of brake thermal efficiency. Also, the fuel consumption of B10 and B20 has risen in comparison to diesel. It was discovered that at the same braking load, the engine used more fuel B10 and B 20 than standard diesel fuel.
