Comparison of Performance and Emission Characteristics of Rapeseed biodiesel and Diesel

Mr. Prakhar Khatri

Abstract :

 The present study is carried on the comparison of performance and emission output of a compression ignition (CI) engine by using Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) and diesel. The experiments are to be proceed with rapeseed biodiesel that is prepared by transesterification process and diesel. The experiments starts with the engine is operated at low load and then keep on increasing till full load and variable engine speed conditions and the power and ake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) are calculated. At 4 to 15bar the emission and performance test of Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) at 1500 rpm engine speed which this condition is predefined from first stage of the 15 experiments. CO, CO2 and NOx values are measured for two different fuel with varying load. Rapeseed biodiesel results ~13% decrease at Brake Effective Power (BEP) and 9% increase on BSFC. The NOx emissions are decreased 40% when fueling with biodiesel while there were significant decrease was noted for CO and CO2 emission by using the system as the same condition used for performance.
