Description
Summary:Fossil fuel is the main resource for modern technological advancements, which is a non-renewable form of energy. The diminishing trend of fossil fuels at an exponential rate creates the need for an alternate fuel that gives the performance similar to the conventional fuels with lesser emission. The tropical climatic condition in Asia favours the growth of Pongamia pinnata which can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel through trans-esterification process. The combustion components of the engine are coated with partially stabilized zirconia. The experiments are conducted in a constant speed engine with and without coating and electronic fuel injector using diesel and biodiesel blends and then test results were compared. The B20 has increased BTE than the other blends. Therefore the B20 was considered as optimum blend. The electronic fuel injection system on LHR engine shows 1.89% increase in thermal efficiency and 15% reduced BSEC compared to B20 on LHR engine. When using B20 blends in EFI-LHR engine, the CO and HC emission level is reduced of about 8.16% and 5.06% when compared with B20 blends in LHR engine respectively. Due to EFI and ceramic coatings, peak cycle temperature is increased hence the NOx formation is increased.
