Abstract

In the present investigation, the energy and exergy analysis of a dual-fuel diesel engine was performed running with producer gas (PG) to quantify the exergy characteristics under the priority to achieve the highest diesel saving. 10% volume blend of Karanja oil methyl ester with diesel (B10) was considered as pilot fuel. The results showed that the brake-specific energy consumption increased from 14.6 kJ kWh−1 to 17.67 kJ kWh−1 and 18.43 kJ kWh−1 for dual-fuel operation with diesel and B10, respectively. It is also observed that at full-load engine operation the exergy efficiency decreases to 30.37% and 29.04% for dual-fuel operation with diesel and B10, respectively.
