Abstract

Rapid growth of industrialization and depleting resources of fossil fuel coupled with air pollution caused by the emissions released by engines have been a threat for the future generations. In this work biodiesel extracted from the source Pongamia Pinnata (Karanja) and tested in diesel engine. Initially biooil is extracted from karanja plant and it is converted into biodiesel by transesterification process. The corresponding physical properties for biodiesel and its blends are tested and it is well matched with ASTM standards. Furthermore, experimental studies were performed in naturally aspirated, mono cylinder, water-cooled, DI diesel engine at various load conditions. Then the oxygen enrichment is done at the inlet with the percentage variation from 21 to 27%. Test results obtained reveals that BTE is increased by 8–9% for B20 blends with the increased oxygen concentration. BSFC reduces for B30 blends with the rise in inlet oxygen levels. Regarding emission parameters the gradual reduction in CO and smoke opacity is achieved at higher load conditions for biodiesel blends (B30). On the other hand, due to increased concentration in oxygen and high combustion chamber temperature, NOx emissions increases for pure biodiesel and its blends.
