Performance Evaluation and Exhaust Emission Analysis of a CI Engine Fuelled with Pongamia Pinnata Biodiesel and its Blends

Abstract:

Biodiesel usage is gradually becoming popular around the world because of their low environmental pollutants. The properties of biodiesel and its blend were compared with that of diesel. The study reviled that the performance of the engine with 20% PPME gives better performance than that of diesel at part load. The performance for other blends where slightly lesser than that that of diesel. The BSFC of biodiesel was slightly higher than that of diesel due to its lower calorific value. CO and HC emissions were found lesser for biodiesel and its blend compared with that of diesel, whereas NOx emission was found somewhat higher than that of diesel.
