Abstract :
In the present experimental work a computerized Single cylinder Diesel engine with data acquisition system was used to study the effects of oxygen enriched air intake on heat release rate. Increasing the oxygen content with the air leads to faster burn rates and the ability to burn more fuel at the same stoichiometry. Added oxygen in the combustion air offers more potential for burning diesel. Oxy-fuel combustion reduces the volume of flue gases and reduces the effects of green house effect also. Engine test has been carried out in the above said engine for different loads and the rate of Heat release with respect to different percentage of oxygen enrichment was discussed.
