Öğe The comparison of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of sesame oil-diesel fuel mixture with diesel fuel in a direct injection diesel engine(Elsevier, 2008-01-09) Altun, Şehmus; Bulut, Hüsamettin; Öner, CengizThe use of vegetable oils as a fuel in diesel engines causes some problems due to their high viscosity compared with conventional diesel fuel. Various techniques and methods are used to solve the problems resulting from high viscosity. One of these techniques is fuel blending. In this study, a blend of 50% sesame oil and 50% diesel fuel was used as an alternative fuel in a direct injection diesel engine. Engine performance and exhaust emissions were investigated and compared with the ordinary diesel fuel in a diesel engine. The experimental results show that the engine power and torque of the mixture of sesame oil-diesel fuel are close to the values obtained from diesel fuel and the amounts of exhaust emissions are lower than those of diesel fuel. Hence, it is seen that blend of sesame oil and diesel fuel can be used as an alternative fuel successfully in a diesel engine without any modification and also it is an environmental friendly fuel in terms of emission parameters.Öğe Performance and emission analysis of cottonseed oil methyl ester in a diesel engine(Elsevier, 2010-03) Aydın, Hüseyin; Bayındır, HasanIn this study, performance and emissions of cottonseed oil methyl ester in a diesel engine was experimentally investigated. For the study, cottonseed oil methyl ester (CSOME) was added to diesel fuel, numbered D2, by volume of 5%(B5), 20%(B20), 50%(B50) and 75%(B75) as well as pure CSOME (B100). Fuels were tested in a single cylinder, direct injection, air cooled diesel engine. The effects of CSOME-diesel blends on engine performance and exhaust emissions were examined at various engine speeds and full loaded engine. The effect of B5, B20, B50, B75, B100 and D2 on the engine power, engine torque, bsfc's and exhaust gasses temperature were clarified by the performance tests. The influences of blends on CO, NOx, SO2 and smoke opacity were investigated by emission tests. The experimental results showed that the use of the lower blends (B5) slightly increases the engine torque at medium and higher speeds in compression ignition engines. However, there were no significant differences in performance values of B5, B20 and diesel fuel. Also with the increase of the biodiesel in blends, the exhaust emissions were reduced. The experimental results showed that the lower contents of CSOME in the blends can partially be substituted for the diesel fuel without any modifications in diesel engines.Öğe Comparative experimental investigation on the effects of heavy alcohols- safflower biodiesel blends on combustion, performance and emissions in a power generator diesel engine(Elsevier, 2021-02-05) Işık, Mehmet ZerrakkiThe experimental works carried out in this article evaluates the potential of using heavy alcohol and safflower biodiesel as the blended fuel mixtures without making any modifications in the tests diesel engine. For this purpose, volumetrically 20% of Propanol, Pentanol, Butanol, and Octanol were blended with safflower biodiesel fuel and they were named as PR20, PE20, BU20, and OC20, respectively. The performance, combustion, and emission data were found out at the same conditions of constant engine speed and various loads and compared with pure biodiesel (B100) and diesel fuel(ULSD). In the experiments, a four-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine that was loaded by an electrical power generator was used for the tests. The addition of alcohol causes an increase in fuel consumption due to a decrease in lower thermal performance. The use of heavy alcohols in diesel engine in specific quantities by mixing with biodiesel significantly increases engine brake thermal efficiency. Negative effects of low cetane number and high latent heat of vaporization that may decrease ignition delay and decrease cylinder pressure while increase peak heat release was considered to be compensated by the better mixing properties and atomization of alcohol blended biodiesel thus eventually improve the combustion. Alcohol addition to biodiesel fuel can be accepted as a useful application to increase brake thermal efficiency and reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions by reducing the density and viscosity.
