Experimental investigations on sterculia foetida oil for four stroke single cylinder di engine

Abstract

The main objective of the present work is to compare the performance emission and combustion of biodiesel derived from sterculia foetida oil with diesel The higher fuel consumption for B100 and the non linearity of the fuel consumption with increasing loads indicate the need for further research The results of the fuel analysis indicate poor mixing and possible separation of the results which may also attribute to inconsistent sterculia foetida oil results The performance parameters evaluated were brake thermal efficiency brake specific fuel consumption and power output The emission parameters such as oxides of nitrogen and smoke opacity with the different newline
