Performance and emission characteristics of CI engine fuelled with turpentine oil-diesel blend with diethyl ether as additives

Abstract

The ingestion of fossil fuels such as diesel has augmented immeasurably with transformation and increase in the use of automobiles [1]. Biodiesel derived from renewable resources such as non-edible vegetable oil is used as a substitute for the conventional diesel fuel. Amplified demand for energy, abridged emission standards and diminution of resources which cannot be renewed claimed in discovering of alternative and non-conventional fuels for IC engines [2]. In the subsequent paper, the performance, radiation and characteristics of emission in CI engines powered with turpentine oil. The DEE inclusion has tolerable chattels on the performance characteristics of the fuel, augmented brake thermal efficiency is conquered by the intensification in the extent of DEE and thus consuming the divergent effect on the specific fuel ingesting. The experiment was supported in a 4-stroke, diesel engine of single cylinder by fluctuating the load. Adding Turpentine Oil in diesel raises the aggregate of density, viscosity and level of oxygen content present in it, but diminishes its calorific value [2]. Liberation arches depict the same physiognomies as tallying of Turpentine oil which reduces the amount of CO, CO2, NOx and O2 upsurge to quantity of these HC.
