Abstract :
The engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics of Mahua (Madhuca Indica) biodiesel and its different blends with diesel is presented. The engine tests are conducted on a four stroke Tangentially Vertical (TV) single cylinder kirloskar 1500 rpm direct injection diesel engine with eddy current dynamometer at different static injection timings of 19°, 20°, 21°, 22° and 23° bTDC (standard) and with nozzle opening pressure of 250x105 N/m2 at full load. From the test results, it is observed that a retarded static injection timing of 20° bTDC for B0 and B25 give better performance, combustion and lower emissions. Among all the blends, the B25 with static injection timing of 20° bTDC gives higher CO2 of 28.31% in terms of percentage increase. Lower specific fuel consumption of 4.10%, HC of 10%, Smoke density of 26.70% and NOx of 24.89% in terms of percentage reduction as compared to standard injection timing of 23° bTDC
