Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine with Various Injection Pressures Using Bael Biodiesel

Abstract:

Fuel injection pressures in diesel engines play an important role to distribute the fuel jet quickly and to form a uniform gas mixture after fuel injection in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In this study, an attempt has been made to study the effect of injection pressure on a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine fueled with diesel, diesel – bael biodiesel blend (B20) and methyl ester of bael (Aegle marmelos) seed oil with injection pressures of 220,230,240 and 250 bar. Increasing the injector opening pressure has been found to increase brake thermal efficiency and reduce CO, HC and smoke emissions significantly. The optimum injection pressure was found to be 240 bar for bael seed biodiesel.
