Biodiesel Production and Investigation the Performance of Variable Compression Ratio Diesel Engine Fueled With Mineral oil and its Blends With Diesel

Abstract

Diesel Engine is the most important part of our life. With the increase the use of diesel engines in our life many problems are raising. Pollution is major problem so it is necessary to engine manufacturer to invent new technology that how to increase efficiency, decrease fuel consumption rate, Increase work done and decrease exhaust emission.

 A 3.5 kW, constant speed diesel engine was tested on diesel, MOME-diesel blends in 15:85, 30:70, 45:55 and 60:40 ratio. The performance of the engine was found to be satisfactory on the blends.

 The kinematic viscosity of raw mineral oil used to make mineral oil methyl ester (MOME) was about 4.665 times higher than the diesel and MOME was about 3.477 times higher than the diesel.

 found to be highest and BSFC was found to be lowest on this blend.
