Analyze diesel engines' emissions, performance, combustion, and green fuel design

Abstract

Diesel fuels might be partially or entirely replaced by vegetable oils. The effects of blending biodiesel and diesel and employing ethanol and diethyl ether as additives on the engine's emissions and performance are tested experimentally. The pyrolysis process produced biodiesel. It was decided to make biodiesel from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Here, we refer to B20 as fuel composed of 20% biodiesel and 80% Number 2 diesel fuel, B20+E10 as fuel composed of 90% B20 and 10% ethanol by volume, and B20+D10 as fuel composed of 90% B20 and 10% diethyl ether by volume. Torque, power, specific fuel consumption, braking thermal efficiency, and exhaust gas temperature were all measured after being exposed to various test fuels to determine their impact on the engine. Emission experiments looked at the effects of mixtures on levels of CO, CO2, HC, NO, and smoke opacity
