Investigation of The Effects of Safflower Biodiesel Blends with Eurodiesel Fuel on Engine Performance and Emissions in Common-Rail Diesel Engine

23249

in this study, produced by the transesterification method safflower methyl ester material is used. Trials, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, with engine test was conducted in a water-cooled engine has common rail fuel system. And B2 (2% v safflower biodiesel - 98% Eurodiesel), B10 and B50 biodiesel-Eurodiesel fuel blends have been accepted as the reference fuel. The results are given in comparatively. The main factor of the observed changes in engine performance when biodiesel is used is the low calorific value fuel compared to Eurodiesel fuel. There is an increase in engine power as a result of the improvement of the fuel oxidation of oxygen in the body of biodiesel in the partial load conditions. While emission changes are taking place in accordance with the terms of reference fuel emission produced by alternative fuels, it has constructed the partial differences in the rate of increase and decrease. Due to the fact that the engine used in the experiments keeps the fuel under a very high pressure, HC emissions are lower than the other engines.
