Description
Summary:In this present study, the effect of injection pressure on brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption was examined. A compression ignition engine was experimentally studied using three methyl ester blends as fuel. In the experiment, the combination of behada, chicken fat oil, and turmeric oil along with diesel oil was used. The engine power produced by methyl ester was examined in the engine by utilizing the fuel blends with varying injection pressures (210, 225, and 250 bar) under various load conditions (0, 4, 8, 12.3, and 15 kg). Under these varying injection pressures and engine loads, the methyl ester fuel blends produced superior burning and functional properties. Methyl ester reduces engine load and the rate of heat release, and it combusts fuel more effectively than diesel. However, its brake thermal efficiency is poor. Increasing the injection pressure improved the results of fuel combustion and brake thermal efficiency compared to the initial inlet pressure.
