Abstract

The main objective of this research work was to optimize the performance and emission of four stroke, single cylinder, indirect injection, water cooled diesel engine operating on palm oil and diesel blend. The use of vegetable oil as a fuel in diesel engine causes some problem because of their high thickness contrasted and routine diesel fuel. Different methods and strategies are utilized to take care of the issues coming about because of high consistency. One of these systems is fuel mixing. Non edible Vegetable oil like palm oil is blended with diesel in various proportions like 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. Engine test have been carried out with the measures of engine parameters like brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and emissions such as CO, HC, NOx and CO2 to the behaviour of diesel engine running on palm oil and diesel bland. From experiment is observed that brake thermal efficiency of P30D70 optimum compare to other blend. Also fuel consumption increased with increase in blend proportion. Also, CO emission decreased by increased in blend concentration and HC and NOx emission increased by increased in blend proportion. The blend of P30D70 could be useful without more affecting the engine performance.
