Abstract
Mineral established lubricant oils used for internal combustion (IC) engines, and it is not ecological and dangerous to the environment. Biobased lubricant (BBL) is ecological and environmentally friendly. In this paper, cottonseed oil chemically modified by trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester is used as lubricants for compression ignition engines, and its performance and emission characteristics are studied. Mineral lubricants and cottonseeds are compared for emission gases like hydrocarbon (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). The performance of brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is found to be similar for comparing CSTE lubricant and mineral-based oil. Hence, the recorded BSFC is 0.6 kg/KW-h, the recorded maximum HC emission is 45 ppm, NOx emission is 590 ppm, CO2 emission is 2.99 ppm, and maximum CO emission is 0.16ppm. Hence, the main contribution of this proposed article is emission reduction.
