Experimental investigation of waste Cooking oil biodiesel higher alcohol and diesel ternary blends in a CRDI Diesel Engine

Abstract

Energy is the fundamental source of power for both developed newlineand developing countries in terms of economic and social growth. Crude newlineoil is the primary source of energy in various sectors such as agriculture, newlineautomotive, power generation and other industries. As consumption newlineincreases, issues such as crude oil shortages, higher pollutant emissions, newlineglobal warming, etc also increase. India imports crude oil from the newlineOrganization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) since newlineavailability is less than the demand. To address the shortage of crude oil newlinemany studies are conducted to develop suitable substitutes for crude oil newlineand its by-products. newlineCrude oil derived diesel and petrol are the primary source of newlineenergy in various sectors such as agriculture, automotive, power newlinegeneration and other industries. As consumption increases, issues such newlineas crude oil shortages, higher pollutant emissions, global warming, etc newlinealso increase. That methods that addresses environmental challenges and newlineenergy demand self-reliance by combining waste reduction tactics, newlinerecycling initiatives, and responsive utilization of waste to energy newlinesolutions might be crucial in reducing dependency on fossil fuels. The newlinecurrent study is focused on optimizing the performance of diesel engines newlineby utilizing ternary blends of diesel, waste cooking oil biodiesel, and newlinehigher alcohol. The goal of this study is to suggest suitable waste newlinecooking oil biodiesel blend for engine operation. Higher alcohol is newlineadded to the biodiesel blend and forms ternary blends. Nano particles of newlineAluminum oxide were added to the WCO biodiesel blends to study the newlineinfluence of nanoparticles on the fuel s behavior. The performance, newlinecombustion and emissions of a diesel engine on ternary mixes of diesel, newlinebiodiesel, and higher alcohol bio oil are examined in this study. The newlineprepared fuel samples are tested for its properties and found within the newlinelimits. The Test rig used in this study is a common rail injection diesel newlineengine of constant speed, 4 stroke, vertical and air cooled type.
