Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engines Powered by Dual Blended Biodiesel

Abstract

For our daily activities, communities rely heavily on petroleum products. However, oil may be a scarce resource, which can cause environmental problems, like an increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas levels. As energy demand increases and fossil fuels decrease, research is turning to alternative fuels. Due to the rapid depletion of traditional oil supplies and anticipated shortages, alternative fuels are needed. A number of scientific studies on mixing diesel with ordinary biodiesel have been carried out. Some works have been discovered but there are a lot of works left for a mixing of two different types of biodiesel. The intention of this research to carry out the possibility ofblending animal fat oil and vegetable oil with diesel or biodiesel B20. The various performance characteristics such as indicated power, thermal braking efficiency, specific fuel consumption,and effluent attributes such as carbon dioxide carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and hydrocarbons were measured and correlated with diesel emissions.
