INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE AND COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS OF LINSEED BIODIESEL IN DIESEL ENGINE

Abstract

In Current scenario Pollution become the most significant setback for whole world. It affects the human kind society. Many countries has been participated together to surmount this situation. Air pollution impacts soundly on Air quality index. When the fuel burn it emits the harmful emission. By raising the use of fossil fuel, Fossil fuel decreases rapidly. To keeping these factors in the mind biofuel has been selected as a renewable sustainable source of energy. By doing many experiments by experts on vegetable Oils. Various types of biofuel oil shows distinguish physiochemical Properties. Experimental investigation and analysis of performance and combustion characteristics of Linseed biofuel. Experimental investigation is performed on VCR diesel engine fuel by linseed biodiesel. By doing investigation Different performance and combustion characteristics performed. In performance analysis, Brake power is more for pure diesel D100 about (3.4kW) followed by B15, B20, and B10. Brake thermal efficiency is maximum for B20 at maximum power of (3.34kW). When compare between brake power and brake mean effective pressure, maximum power generation is for B10 and minimum for B20. Specific fuel consumption for 3kg load is maximum, and maximum generated specific fuelconsumption is for B20 and minimum for D100. As shown in fuel flow B20 has the maximum fuel flow and minimum for B10. Conversion of neat diesel to linseed biodiesel is occur by the process of transesterification. The main objective of this investigation is to get better information regarding behavior of linseed biofuel and its blends.
