For each tested fuel, the performance and emissions were measured at four different engine speeds (800. rpm, 1200. rpm, 2400. rpm and 3600. rpm) under three different loads (25%, 50% and 100% load). The results showed that the use of biodiesel/blend fuels resulted in a higher brake specific fuel consumption, especially at low engine speed and partial load conditions. For example, at 25% engine load, the BSFC was found to be increased by 42% and 34.4% for biodiesel as compared to diesel at 800. rpm and 1200. rpm respectively. The brake thermal efficiency of biodiesel was found to be slightly higher compared to diesel at 50% and 100% load and the opposite tread was observed at 25% load. For combustion characteristics, a slightly shorter ignition delay and lower peak heat release rate were found for biodiesel compared to pure diesel. With respect to emissions, a slight reduction in the major emissions such as HC and NO. x were observed with the use of biodiesel. But the opposite trend was seen at low engine speed, revealing that the low engine speed had a significant effect on the engine combustion and emission formation processes. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. | Source Title: | Applied Energy | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/85548 | ISSN: | 03062619 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.apenergy.2012.12.044 |
