Abstract
There is a need to identify alternative fuels suitable for running diesel engine as a replacement of diesel to address the problems like depletion of fossil fuel reserves and environmental pollution. The fuels derived from bio-resources found to be good alternatives for conventional petro-fuels in solving such issues. The impact of cotton seed oil biodiesel blend on vehicle performance with four stroke four cylinder diesel engine was investigated. Emission test was performed on six cylinder engine vehicle using 100% diesel of petroleum origin (fossil diesel), and B10, B20, B30 of cottonseed oil methyl ester. Analysis was carried out on major performance parameters Pb, Tb, bsfc & emissions such as NOx, CO, CO2, O2and HC. It is observed that Blends of biodiesel B10, B20 & B30 reduced brake torque by 5%, 7% & 12%, also reduced brake power by 6%, 8% & 11% and increased in fuel consumption by 4%, 8% & 20% respectively. However, the emissions of the CI engine running on three biodiesel blends were reduced, CO by up to 16%, CO2by 17% and HC by 12% & increase NOx by 14% & O2by 18% as compared to diesel fuel. It is concluded that blend of 20% cotton seed biodiesel can be used in an unmodified diesel engine.
