Review - Performance and Emission Characteristics of 4-Stroke 4-Cylinder Compression Ignition Engine Diesel Fuel Blended With Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil-diesel is widely accepted as comparable fuel to diesel in compression ignition engines. It offers many advantages including; higher cetane number, reduced emissions of particulates, CO, NOX, and hydrocarbons, reduced toxicity, improved safety and lower lifecycle CO2 emissions. The objective of the present study is to reveal the effects of pure diesel fuel and coconut oil diesel fuel blends with indirectly heating of coconut-oil at 60°C before blending with diesel on the performance and emissions of a direct injection diesel engine. Operation of the test engine with pure diesel fuel and coconut oil-diesel fuel blends for a wide range of engine speed such as 800,1000,1200,1400 And 1500 Rpm and Full load (18 Kg) conditions will be shown to be successful even without engine modifications.
