| Abstract: | This study compared performance and emission
characteristics of hybrid fuel blend [diesel-ethanol (anhydrous)-biodiesel
(methyl esters of pungamia oil)] with diesel in a multi cylinder, naturally
aspirated, direct injection diesel engine. Brake thermal efficiency of engine
operated with hybrid fuel blends is found to be slightly higher than that of
diesel fuel. Smoke and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are found to be
reduced simultaneously, while using hybrid fuel blends as fuel. Hydrocarbon
(HC) emission is higher than diesel fuel for 10% ethanol addition, however when
percentage of pungamia methyl ester (PME) increases in blends, HC emission is
reduced.Carbon monoxide emission (CO) is found to be higher and a significant reduction is observed whenincreasing percentage of PME in blends. |
