Abstract

The evolving energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels are the major drive toward the presage on economic growth and energy security. These challenges make necessary to find out an alternative energy resource in around the globe. The substitution of petroleum products by various biofuels especially in the transport sector could be a potential supporter for the feasible environment. Hence, in this present study, a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, direct injection (DI) diesel engine was changed to work on a dual-fuel operation with biogas (crude)–diesel where, for starting the combustion, diesel was used as injected fuel, while biogas used as a primary gas which is supplied through the intake of the engine. During the dual fuel operation, the effect of varying the biogas flow rates from 0.25 to 1 kg/h with an interval of 0.25 kg/h was studied at different engine loads. At each step, the percentage replacement of biogas and performance and emissions analysis of this study were compared with standard setting of the engine with diesel, and the results are presented in this paper.
