A Study with Diesel Additives and Fish Methyl Ester on Diesel Engine at Full Load Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

The scarcity of conventional fossil fuel, their increasing cost and the detrimental effects of combustion engendered pollutants seems to make alternative sources more appealing. Fish methyl ester is available abundantly. The present experiment assess the performance and emission distinctive of a diesel engine using dissimilar blends of methyl ester of fish, 2-EHN and ethanol with mineral diesel. Methyl ester and diesel additive was blended with diesel in proportions of 20% and 100% by mass and studied under full load conditions. The performance and emission parameters were found to be better than the mineral diesel.
