AIM
Emission reduction on direct
injection
diesel engine fueled by methyl ester of
non edible oils like Jatropha produced by
transesterification process and with
various percentage by concentration of
ethanol in dual fuel mode by fumigation
process.
OBJECTIVE
To develop a complete alternate fuel C.I engine by direct
injection
of bio-diesel and ethanol by fumigation
technique with reduced emission. Then the project also
addressed the issue of increased CO & NOx emission in
dual fuel mode using dilution of ethanol concentration.
Then to concluded that non edible oil can be used in
transesterification form as methyl ester in dual fuel mode
with ethanol using fumigation process which can produce
better
performance
with
reduced
emission.
REASONS FOR SELECTING THE TOPIC
• Ethanol is one of the best tools to fight vehicular
pollution, contains 35% oxygen that helps
complete combustion of fuel and thus reduces
harmful emission.
• A country like India where agriculture is the
main occupation and kirloskar engines are
mostly used by the farmers for various
applications. Our project focuses not only on
bio-diesel but also on the ethanol for use in
stationery diesel engines
METHODOLOGY
• Selection of non edible oil source.
• To standardize the process of preparing methyl ester
from various non edible oil.
• To prepare and study of the properties of methyl ester
• Design of fumigation apparatus in the conventional
diesel engine
• Conducting the performance and emission testing for
dual fueled engine with direct injection of methyl ester
and fumigation of various percentage of ethanol as
supplementary fuel.
• Conducting the performance and emission testing for
the above dual fueled engine for various concentration
of ethanol.
• Result and discussion
EXPECTATION OF PROJECT
• Expecting properties of methyl ester is closes
to diesel.
• To obtain perfect combustion by fully using
alternative fuel.
• Reduce NOx emission by varying the
concentration of ethanol.
• Better performance and reduced emission
using alternative fuel.
APPLICATION
• Better fuel economy with increased efficiency provides
economical advantages over conventional fueled vehicle
• It will reduce the emission of CO, CO2, NOx, HC, and
smoke emission compared with diesel.
• As Eco-friendly fuels are used in vehicles using this type
of engine environmental degradation can be reduced.
• It will increased agriculture productivity and cultivation of
our country.

FORMULA USED
1.Fuel consumption (FC),kg/hr.
Fuel consumption was calculated using equation.
FC = (10/Tavg) * ((x*sp.gr of BD+ y*sp.gr of ethanol)/1000) * 3600
Where
Sp.gr = specific gravity of used
Tavg = average time taken for 10cc of fuel consumption in sec
x= Fraction of Biodiesel in the blend
y=Fraction of ethanol in the blend
2.Brake power (BP),KW
Brake power was calculated using eqn
BP = calculated load/(*1000)
3.Specific fuel consumption (SFC) kg/kw-hr
Specific fuel consumption was calculated using the eqn.
SFC = (fuel consumption)/(Brake power)
4.Fuel power (FUP),kw
Fuel power was calculated using the eqn.
FUP = (FC*CV)/3600
Where
FUP = fuel power in kw
FC = fuel consumption in kg/hr
CV = calorific value in kJ/kg
5.Brake Thermal Efficiency(%)
Brake Thermal Efficiency was calculated using the
equation
BTH = (BP/FUP) * 100
Where
BP = Brake power in kw
BTH = Brake Thermal Efficiency in %
FUP = Fuel power in kw
6.Indicated Power,kw
IP = FRP + BP
Where
FRP = Friction Power in kw
BP = Brake Power in kw
7.Indicated Thermal Efficiency(%)
Indicated Thermal Efficiency = (IP/FP) * 100
Where
IP = Indicated Power in kw
FP = Fuel Power in kw
8.Mechanical Efficiency(%)
Mechanical Efficiency = (BTH/ITH) * 100
Where
BTH = Brake Thermal Efficiency in %
ITH = Indicated Thermal Efficiency
EXPECTATIONS AND APPLICATION
• Better fuel economy with increased efficiency provides
economical advantage over conventional fueled
vehicles.
• Reduced the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, HC and
smoke emission compared with diesel.
• As eco-friendly fuels are used in vehicles using this type
