Synthesis of bio-diesel from Kenaf seed oil and performance analysis of bio-diesel blends on four stroke, CI engine.
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Biodiesel has attracted attention towards world because of its eco-friendly nature, low pollution emitting and non-toxic properties. Globally, there are hundreds of crops which can be used as a biodiesel feedstock. Use of biodiesel reduces dependence fossil fuels. Oils generally have high viscosity, high density and high flash point and therefore they are not suitable to be used as fuel in diesel engine. Various process are used in order to synthesize bio-diesel from oil to make its properties similar to that of conventional diesel. In present study, base catalyzed transesterification process has been used in order to get biodiesel from kenaf seed oil. Properties of kenaf seed oil and bio-diesel are comparative to that of conventional diesel. Biodiesel can either be used alone(B100) without any blending or it can be blended with conventional diesel according to ASTM specifications so as to ensure safe operation of CI engine which has been designed for conventional diesel fuel. In present study, objective is to analyze performance of kenaf seed bio-diesel and its blends. n-butanol will be used as an additive. Use of additive will enhance properties of diesel. Engine performance parameters such as brake power (BP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) have been measured under various load conditions for different bio-diesel blends and these performance parameters have been compared to that of conventional diesel
