Performance Evaluation On 4-Stroke Single Cylinder C.I Engine Using Various Volume Fractions of TSOME Diesel Blend
Abstract
The growing dependence on conventional fuels like petrol, diesel, and gasoline, coupled with the depletion of petroleum reserves, highlights the urgent need for alternative fuels to sustain global energy demands. In particular, the search for viable substitutes for compression ignition (C.I.) engines has shifted focus toward biofuels derived from biomass and biological waste. Among these, Tobacco Seed Oil (TSO) has emerged as a promising alternative fuel due to its abundant availability worldwide. TSO is extracted from tobacco seeds and has shown potential as a viable biofuel. This project aims to explore the use of TSO and its diesel blends (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by volume) in a 4-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine. The study will assess the fuel properties using standard testing methods, followed by experimental evaluation of the engine's performance and emission characteristics across various loading conditions. This research seeks to determine the potential of Tobacco Seed Oil as a sustainable and efficient alternative fuel for compression ignition engines.
