A Study On Sheep Fat Oil As Biodiesel And Its Performances, Emission And Combustion Characteristics With Help Of Transesterification Process.

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Alternate Fuels

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effective production and utilization of Sheep fat oil as biodiesel and investigate the influence of biodiesel over the engine performance, Emission and combustion characteristics. The work is carried out in a single cylinder water cooled Di Diesel engine with Eddy current Dynamometer, Biodiesel produced from transesterfication process and thermo-physical properties of biodiesel and their blends from both the process were analyzed. The test fuel were prepared in the ratio of STB 25, STB 50, STB 75 and STB 100, which represent the blend ratio of Sheep fat oil biodiesel and the rest diesel fuel. The experimental results reveal a marginal decrease in brake thermal efficiency when compared to that of sole fuel. In this investigation, the emission test were conducted with the help of AVL Di gas analyzer, in which CO, HC and smoke density are marginal increased on the other hand and NOx are appreciably reduced when compared to that of sole fuel. Cylinder pressure and H.R.R. were also performed with help of AVL Di Gas Analyzer.
