Abstract
In this paper, the performance and emission characteristics were studied for a CI engine that was fueled with cottonseed oil blended with diesel in different ratios, i.e., B10, B20, and B30, and also another combination with the addition of 10% of kerosene in all the blends. This experiment was performed with the help of a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine with a load variation from 4 to 16 kg. The results obtained showed that the addition of cottonseed oil (CSO) slightly reduced the brake thermal efficiency with an increase in specific fuel consumption and lowered exhaust gas temperature. With an increase in the amount of cottonseed oil, the emission parameters reduced (CO, O2, CO2, and NOx) with an increase in hydrocarbon emission. The same results were also observed with the addition of kerosene. Hence, satisfactory results were obtained with combustion characteristics improving with the increase of load.
