| Popis: | In this study, biodiesel fuel produced from crambe abyssinica plant using KOH and NaOH catalysts was mixed with standard diesel fuel and the effects on engine performance, combustion and emission were experimentally investigated. Standard diesel fuel and 6 different fuel mixtures were tested at 3.75, 7.5, 11.25 and 15 Nm engine loads. During the experiment, in-cylinder pressure data were specified depending on crank angle for each test fuel and engine load. In addition, measurements of HC, NOx, CO and smoke emissions were carried out. With the obtained experimental data, parameters such as heat release rate, combustion stages, thermal efficiency, indicated mean effective pressure (imep), ignition delay (ID), ringing intensity (RI) and specific fuel consumptions (SFC) were calculated and evaluated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The same concentrated crambe abyssinica with NaOH catalyst (CAN) blended fuel series has been found to have a lower BSFC value at all engine loads than the crambe abyssinica with KOH catalyst (CAK) blended fuel series. It was concluded that the highest thermal efficiency values were achieved with CAK B25 mixed fuel under all engine load conditions. It was concluded that the usage of standard diesel fuel is more prone to knock than other blends. Comment: Research article |
