ENERGY ANALYSIS OF A DI DIESEL ENGINE FUELED WITH PUNNAI OIL METHYL ESTER AND ITS DIESEL BLENDS (original) (raw)

2018, International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering and Technology (IJTRET)

Abstract

The major objective of the present study was to analyze the energy characteristics of 10% to 40% (by volume) blending of punnai oil methyl ester (PME) with diesel as fuels in the diesel engine at various loads. From steady state experimental results, an energy analysis was carried to determine the Energy loss in engine cooling, Energy loss with exhaust gas and unaccounted Losses. Engine IP was more for the blends up to B30 compared to diesel fuel operation, but it significantly reduced in case of the blend B40 indicating more energy losses with this fuel blend. The energy analysis also indicates higher energy loss for the blend B40.
