Study on Blending and Premixing Techniques to Improve the Performance of Direct Injection Diesel Engine Fuelled with Calophyllum Inophyllum Blended Diesel

Abstract

The current energy scenario, and economic and environmental safety forces newlinethe researchers to seek the better alternate fuel that comprises all the above-mentioned newlineaspects. Calophyllum inophyllum oil is one of the biofuels having potential to use in newlinecompression ignition (CI) engines. Therefore, this research aims to study the viability of newlineCalophyllum inophyllum oil in CI engines using diesel and hydrogen. This research work newlinehas four objectives. i)To study the performance, combustion, and emissions of newlineCalophyllum inophyllum oil blended with diesel to compare straight Calophyllum newlineinophyllum oil blended with diesel and secondary fuel used in the dual fuel technique newline(Hydrogen induction). ii) To improve the characteristics of Straight Calophyllum newlineinophyllum oil blended diesel biofuel with oxygenated additive (Diethyl ether and benzyl newlinealcohol) and secondary fuel used in the dual fuel technique (Hydrogen induction). iii) newlineTo study characteristics of premixing the benzyl alcohol with Calophyllum newlineinophyllum oil blended diesel biofuel in CI engines. iv) The Exhaust gas recirculation newlinetechnique is adapted to reduce NO emission in single-cylinder diesel engines. All four newlinephases of experiments are conducted in the same engine test rig, the premixing setup, newlinehydrogen induction setup and EGR setup are attached at the appropriate time of newlineconduction of experiments newline
