Greendrinks presentation biodiesel in dallas texasTajana Surlan
Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant oils and greases. It is biodegradable and less polluting than petroleum diesel. Common biodiesel feedstocks include virgin oils, used cooking oil, yellow grease, and brown grease. Biodiesel can be used in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel in vehicles and equipment. Common blends are B2, B5, and B20. Since used cooking oil is cheaper than virgin oils, it is a more economic feedstock choice for biodiesel producers. The estimated US demand for diesel fuel exceeds domestic vegetable and animal oil supply. Several companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area produce

Bayesian Estimation For Modulated Claim HedgingIJERA Editor
The purpose of this paper is to establish a general super hedging formula under a pricing set Q. We will compute
the price and the strategies for hedging an European claim and simulate that using different approaches including
Dirichlet priors. We study Dirichlet processes centered around the distribution of continuous-time stochastic
processes such as a continuous time Markov chain. We assume that the prior distribution of the unobserved
Markov chain driving by the drift and volatility parameters of the geometric Brownian motion (GBM) is a
Dirichlet process. We propose an estimation method based on Gibbs sampling.

Use of Jatropha Biodiesel in C.I. Engines- A reviewIJERA Editor
Petroleum based fuels play a vital role in rapid depletion of conventional energy sources. Along with their
increasing demands, these are also major contributors of air pollution which is contributing to greenhouse effect
and consequently to ozone layer depletion.
Major portion of today’s energy demand in India is being met with fossil fuels. Hence, it is high time that
alternative fuels for engines should be derived from different indigenous sources. As India is an agricultural
country, there is a wide scope for the production of vegetable oils (both edible and non-edible) from different oil
seeds.
This paper is based on recommending an alternate fuel for diesel engines. Expectations have been high for the
production of biodiesel from the Jatropha oil-crop. Jatropha is promoted as a drought and pest resistant crop,
with the potential to grow on degraded soils with a low amount of inputs. These characteristics encourage hope
for positive environmental and socio-economic impacts from Jatropha biodiesel.

Modern fuels and their environmental impactsSaurav Gurung
Modern fuels include renewable fuels synthesized from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Biofuels are considered modern fuels and are made from biomass sources like plants and waste. First generation biofuels are made from food crops while second and third generation biofuels can be made from non-food sources like cellulosic biomass and engineered plants. The production of biofuels is increasing but has led to concerns about food prices and using food for fuel. Future fuels will likely focus on electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles to address sustainability and emissions issues.
This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology about using palm oil and Calophyllum inophyllum oil as potential biodiesel feedstocks. It discusses how biodiesel is a promising renewable fuel alternative to address issues with fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation. Palm oil is currently one of the most efficient oil crops for biodiesel production, but its status as an edible oil creates food vs fuel conflicts. Calophyllum inophyllum oil has potential to be transesterified into biodiesel but requires more research. The document reviews the preparation, performance and emissions of biodiesel from these two oils in compression ignition engines.
Effect of blending various biodiesels with diesel on performance and emission...Aerodynamics_research
Due to limited resources and hazardous effects on environment people now a day tries to find out an alternative for fossil fuels. Fossil fuels when burnt produce a lot of carbon dioxide which is one of the primary reasons for global warming. Petroleum is a form of fossil fuel. With the help of distillation process petrol, paraffin, kerosene and diesel oil can obtain from natural petroleum. To protect the environment biodiesels can substitute these fossil fuels. Biodiesels can use as an alternative for diesel. Researchers from around the world tried for many years to find a suitable biodiesel which can substitute diesel. Many biodiesels have been produced from different sources and tested for their performances. Some researchers try to find out a good combination of biodiesel blends which can be used as an alternative of diesel. Some of them try to find out a suitable blend of diesel and biodiesel to reduce the environmental impact and for better emission characteristics. Effects of blending different types of biodiesels with diesel have been investigated by many researchers. In this present review article a summary is written on such attempts.
This document summarizes an experimental investigation of a multi-cylinder diesel engine fueled with biodiesel from mango seeds and soybeans compared to diesel fuel. The study found that using 100% biodiesel can meet the engine's performance characteristics and smoke levels are close to diesel fuel.

In this globalization realm, there in constant growth in the rate of expenditure of fossil fuels, consequent on ever increasing population and urbanization. This gives charge to depletion of finite resources in the near future. Fossil fuel emission causes global-warming also green-house gases are intangible factor which collectively degrading the planet. As such, the situation demands for an alternate source of energy that can be used to overcome the conjectured energy crisis. In contrast to this, if the energy source is clean and renewable, it will reduce the environmental trouble as well. In the quest an alternate and renewable energy resources, scientists have plead with a variety of options among which biodiesel-diesel blends as alternative fuels has become a popular option and is getting the attention of many researchers. This is because scientists have enlist the properties of biodiesel prepared from vegetable oils are very close to commercial diesel and thus it has a promising future as an alternative fuel for diesel engine. Biodiesel being renewable, biodegradable and green fuel can reduce our dependence on conventional/non-renewable fossil fuels and it also helps to keep pure quality of air by reducing obnoxious automotive/vehicular emissions. Possible solution of this problem is to replace or find renewable and economically feasible fuel as an alternative source. Already a lot of work for source which fulfill the criteria of sustainability and economical carried out. But the effluent is critical issues. So characterization and formation of biodiesel with zero effluent is prime objective.

ABSTRACT
Diesel engine are most versatile engine which are mostly use as main prime movers in transportation ,
decentralized electric generation and agricultures sector. The current growth in environmental degradation and
limited availability of fossil fuels has been a matter of concern throughout the world. In view of this fact it has
become necessary to explore renewable alternative fuel from resources available locally, such as vegetable oils
alcohol, animal fats etc. whose properties are comparable with mineral diesel and it can be used in the existing
C.I. engine without any major hardware modification. The fuel should also meet the present energy needs for
vast rural population, stimulating rural development and creating employment opportunities. Apart from this, it
should address global concerns about net reduction of carbon emissions. The present energy scenario has
motivated the world scientist to explore non petroleum, renewable and clean fuel which helps in sustainable
development. The bio origin fuel can provide a feasible solution. Biodiesel is the one of the bio-origin fuels, it
can derive from vegetable oil (edible or non-edible), and animal fats .However in India it is not viable to produce
biodiesel using edible oil due to food security issues. Non-edible oils are more preferred oil as a feedstock to
produce bio-diesel. Vegetable oils are the mixture of organic compound which contain straight chain compound
to complex structure of proteins and fat which called triglycerides. Triglyceride made of one mole of glycerol
and three moles of fatty acids. The vegetable oil has high viscosity than mineral diesel due to high molecular
weight and complex molecular structure. Neat vegetable oil due to its poor volatility and high viscosity is not
suitable for diesel engine application.
In the present investigation, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% (v/v %) blends of Jatropha oil methyl ester (JOME)and
ethanol were prepared and further compared with neat diesel and 100 %JOME in terms of performance and
emission characteristics. Transesterification process is used to produce methyl ester from oil. Physico-chemical
properties of blends are insignificant to that of baseline diesel fuel. From the experimental trial it has been found
that Brake thermal efficiency of the engine is higher for all the blends compare to baseline diesel fuel. At full
load condition BTE of 20 % blends of JOME and ethanol is 12.1% higher than that of neat diesel fuel. At 100 %
loading condition neat JOME showed BTE of 23.91%.Brake Specific energy Consumption (BSEC) was highest
for 100% JOME and lowest for 20 % blend. The hydrocarbon emission (HC) was highest for diesel and lowest
for 100% JOME due to presence of enriched oxygen at full load condition. At part load condition CO emission
for all the test fuels were insignificant but at full load condition CO emission for diesel is 0.2 % while for 20 %
blend it is 0.11%. NOx emission was found to be higher for biodiesel blends at full load condition neat diesel
showed 26.5 % less emission than 20 % blend which showed highest NO x emission.
Keywords – Jatropha ethanol blend, Transesterification, Emission

2010-11, India spent 129 billion US $ towards import
of crude oil. [5]. The diesel engines are extensively
used in India due to low fuel consumption and high
efficiencies as they operate at higher compression
ratio. These engines are extensively used in
transportation, commercial, domestic, electric power
generation, farming, construction and in many
industrial activities for the generation of
power/mechanical energy. [6]. Pollutants from diesel
engines include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon
dioxide (CO2), Hydro carbon (HC), nitrogen oxides
(NOx), particulate matter and smoke. These
emissions have hazardous effects on air, water, soil
and human health as well they also cause climatic
change.
[6-8]. In order to protect the global
environment and leasing a new life to millions of
diesel engine, it has become necessary to explore
alternative fuels that give engine performance at par
with diesel. [9]. Renewable resources which include
biomass, biofuels such as alcohols, biodiesel, ethers,
and other renewable resources are widely explored
[10].
Among these fuels, Biodiesel is a biofuel
made from transesterification of vegetable oils which
can be used in diesel engines either as an additive or
extender of diesel with satisfactory performance [1118].
Alcohol is one of the biofuel which gained
the importance as a fuel for internal combustion
engines since their invention. Historically, the level
of interest in using alcohol as a motor fuel has
followed cycles of fuel shortages and/or low feedgrain prices. The properties of methyl, ethyl, propyl
and butyl alcohol are compared with octane (high
quality gasoline) and hexadecane (high quality diesel
fuel) and it was found these alcohols can be used for
blending in fuel in internal combustion engine
showing promising results. Octane and hexadecane
(petroleum fuels) have higher boiling points, lower
latent heats and are insoluble in water. The alcohols
become more like petroleum fuels as their chemical
weights increase. [19]. Due to their higher octane
number and high oxygen content, use of alcohol in
gasoline engine shows promising results as compared
to gasoline. [20].
In context to compression ignition (CI)
engine, some difficulties were faced by the
researchers with the use of alcohols mainly due to
their low cetane number, high latent heat of
vaporization and long ignition delay. However, there
is significant amount of improvement seen in exhaust
emissions particularly oxides of nitrogen (NOx). [21].

II. Jatropha as a Feedstock
Jatropha plant (Jatropha Curcas) or physic
nut is a shrub or a small tree belonging to the genus
Euphorbiaceous. The Jatropha plant originated from
South America, but now the plant can be found
worldwide everywhere in arid and semiarid tropical
and sub-tropical countries. The Jatropha plant can be
grown in almost all types of soils. It can even be
grown in very poor soil and still produce a high
average yield of seeds. However, light sandy soil is
the most favorable. The Jatropha plant is a multiple
use plant. Jatropha can be found from sea level to
high altitudes. The tree grows to a maximum height
of nearly 8m. The Jatropha fruit maturation takes 45
– 50 days. The plant starts producing yield 4 – 5
months after planting. The Jatropha trees produce a
round fruit with a soft brownish skin, which have 1.5
– 3 cm in diameter and weigh 1.5 – 3 g. The seeds
contain about 30-35% oil.
III. Ethanol as a C.I. Engine Fuel
Ethanol is suitably used in gasoline engines
for many decades. Raw material used for producing
ethanol varies from sugar in Brazil, cereals in USA,
sugar beet in Europe to molasses in India. Brazil uses
ethanol as 100 % fuel in about 20% of vehicles and
25% blend with gasoline in the rest of the vehicles.
USA uses 10% ethanol-gasoline blends while India
use 5-20% blend with gasoline.
Ethanol is one of the possible fuels for diesel
replacement in compression ignition (CI) engines
also. The application of ethanol as a supplementary
CI engine fuel may reduce environmental pollution,
decentralized the production, results reduce the
transportation cost, strengthen agricultural economy,
create job opportunities, reduce diesel fuel
requirements, save foreign exchange and thus
contribute in conserving a major commercial energy
resource. Ethanol was first suggested as an
automotive fuel in USA in the 1930s, but was widely
used only after 1970 [22].
Despite the fact that transesterification
reduces the viscosity and increases the volatility of
esters derived from vegetable oils but when
compared to diesel, it is still having quite higher
viscosity and lower volatility. To overcome these
problems, addition of some oxygenated compounds
like alcohols in biodiesel fuel is found to be helpful.
So addition of ethanol will solve the above problems
by giving some other advantages of reduction in
emissions and balance between different crops.
A wide range of work have been carried out
for evaluating the potential of biodiesel-alcohol blend
for IC engine application and a comprehensive
review of some of the research findings are
summarized below.

Prommes et.al. studied the phase diagram of dieselbiodiesel-ethanol blends at different purities of
ethanol (95%, 99.5% and 99.9%) at different
temperature and also find out the physical chemical
properties of selected blend and examined the
emission performance in a diesel engine and
compared with base diesel. Diesel and ethanol with
95% purity were Insoluble. In case of 99.5% ethanol,
the inter solubility of three components was not
limited. It could be mixed into a homogeneous
solution at any ratio. It observed that the blend of
90% diesel,5% ethanol and 5% biodiesel had very
closed fuel properties compared to diesel. Emission
of the blends CO and HC reduce significantly at high
engine load, where NOx increased when compare
with diesel [23].
Han et. al. investigated
the injection and
atomization characteristics of biodiesel-ethanol blend
and found that ethanol will affect the decrease of
peak injection rate and shortening of the injection
delay due to decrease of fuel properties such as:
density and dynamic viscosity in addition to that, the
ethanol improves the atomization performance of
biodiesel fuel because the ethanol blended fuel have a
low kinematic viscosity and surface tension, then that
has more active interaction with the ambient gas,
compared to biodiesel [24].
Di et. al. conducted experiment on four cylinder
direct injection diesel engine using ultra low sulphar
diesel blended with biodiesel and ethanol at
maximum torque speed of 1800 rpm at varies load
and investigate regulated and unregulated gaseous
emission and found that the Brake specific HC and
CO emission decrease while NOx and NO2 emission
increases in case of diesel –biodiesel fuel. The
emission of formaldehyde, 1, 3 but aldehyde, toluene,
and overall BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) in
general decreases, however acetaldehyde and
benzene emissions increases. In case of dieselethanol fuel Brake specific HC and CO emission
increases significantly and NOx emission decreases
at low engine load. The emission of benzene and
BTX vary with engine load and ethanol contents.
Similar to the biodiesel-diesel fuel the formaldehyde,
1,3 butadiene, toluene, xylene emission decreases
while the acetaldehyde and NOx emission increase. It
was observed that there are significant difference in
the gaseous emission between the biodiesel-diesel
blend and the ethanol-diesel blend. [25].
Fang et.al. Investigated the effect of ethanol on
combustion and emission in premixed low
temperature combustion (LTC) in a four cylinder
heavy duty diesel engine. In this investigation
biodiesel was used as additive to prevent the
www.ijera.com
www.ijera.com
stratification of ethanol and diesel blends. The
premixed low temperature combustion was achieved
by the medium level of exhaust gas recirculation and
the prolonged ignition delay. The lower combustion
temperature, lead to higher HC and CO emissions. It
was found that ethanol-diesel-biodiesel is effective in
reducing NOx emissions and smoke simultaneously
in premixed LTC. The EBD blends fuels were also
good to extend the load range of premixed LTC [26].
Botero et. al. examined free-falling droplets of
ethanol, diesel, biodiesel(castor oil) and their mixture
in a high temperature combustion chamber and
studied combustion characteristics including the
burning rate, micro explosion ,shooting propensity. It
was found that biodiesel to diesel significantly reduce
the extent of shoots formation and slightly reduce the
burning rate in addition to higher soot formation of
methyl stearate than castor oil biodiesel. By adding of
ethanol to diesel and biodiesel, micro explosion is
observed, .The biodiesel/ethanol mixture exhibiting
stronger propensity, leading to significantly reduce
gasification time and extend of soot formation [27].
Yilmaz et.al. analyzed operation of a diesel engine
on biodiesel-ethanol and biodiesel-methanol blends
and compare with diesel and biodiesel. The fuel
D100, B100, B85M15 and B85E15 were used on a
two cylinder, 4 strokes direct injected water cool
diesel engine at 5 loads between low load to full load
at 3000 rpm and found that biodiesel alcohol blends
as compared to diesel reduce NO emission while
increasing CO and HC emission at below 70% load.
It was also found that biodiesel ethanol blends is
more effective than biodiesel methanol for reduction
emissions and overall engine performance [28].
Lin et.al. studied the profit and policy implications
of producing biodiesels-ethanol-diesel fuels blends to
specification and developed a non-linear optimization
model to analyze biodiesel, ethanol & diesel
(BED).This model establish optimum blends to
improve the system profitability given production
cost, market demand and fuel price while meeting
multiple property criteria such as kinematic viscosity,
density, lower heating value, cloud point, cetane
number. The proposed optimization model in this
study integrated with pertinent mixing rules of fuel
properties enables stabilizing the optimum recipes to
improve the system profitability by meeting multi
objectives and promoting opportunity to develop
potential additives to improve blend fuel quality [29].
On the basis of the exhaustive literature review, it has
been observed that biodiesel and ethanol can easily
miscible. Blending of ethanol and biodiesel shall
result in decrease in viscosity of biodiesel,
improvement in atomization combustion quality and

the emission characteristics. So it can be used as a
potential substitute of mineral diesel without any
modification in the existing engine. Also, Using of
biodiesel and ethanol is beneficial for the balance of
carbon.
IV. EXPERIMENTAL TEST RIG
In the present investigation, the trials were conducted
on a Kirloskar make, single cylinder, four stroke,
vertical, constant speed, air cooled, direct injection,
CAF 8 model diesel engine which is used in India in
agriculture sector, for decentralized power generation
and in small scale industrial applications. An
electrical dynamometer coupled to the engine was
used as a loading device. The load can be increased
or decreased on the dynamometer and there by
engine by switching on or off the load resistances.
Fuel consumption was measured with the help of a
digital stopwatch and burette. Detailed technical
specification of the engine and dynamometer is
summarized in Table 1. Engine emission parameters
like HC, NOx, CO etc. were recorded using AVL Di
gas analyzer. Measurement of engine smoke was
carried out using AVL smoke meter.
All the instruments used in the test rig were of
standard quality and the error within the permissible
range. The details of test rig instrumentation are
shown in Table 2.The engine trial was conducted as
specified in IS: 10,000 and engine operated at no
load, 20,40, 60 and 100% load condition. The engine
was started using neat diesel and allowed to attain
stability for at least 30 minutes before taking
observations. After engine conditions stabilized and
reached to steady state, the base line data were taken.
In the subsequent stages, diesel line was swapped
with Jatropha biodiesel and ethanol blends and
respective parameters were noted. The detailed layout
of the engine test set up is shown in Fig. 1.

VI. COMPARISION OF PHYSICO
CHEMICAL PROPERTY
The Physico-Chemical property i.e. density,
specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, calorific value
and cold filter plugging point of diesel, neat Jatropha
biodiesel (JB), ethanol (E) and blend of ethanol and
Jatropha
biodiesel
in
different
proportion
(5%,10%,15%,20%) by volume (Table 3) was
evaluated and summarized in the Table 4. It has
observed that by increasing the amount of ethanol
blend in biodiesel reduced the specific gravity,
calorific value and kinematic viscosity. The viscosity
of neat Jatropha biodiesel is more than the diesel fuel,
however, with blending of ethanol it gradually
decreases. The reduction of viscosity results in
improved volatility, proper atomization and proper
mixing of fuel with air whereas reduction in calorific
value and high heat of evaporation of ethanol helps in
reduction of NOx.

V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Biodiesel could reduce significantly CO, HC
and smoke emissions while increasing NOx emissions
slightly in comparison to diesel fuels. For a blend of
biodiesel and diesel (20% volume), CO, HC and PM
decreased by 11%, 21.1% and 10.1% respectively
whereas NOx emission increased by 2% [30]. The
increase in NOx emission is the main hurdle to
implement the use of biodiesel. This problem may be
overcome by adding of alcohol in biodiesel. Alcohol
has the potential for reducing NOx and PM because it
has high latent heat of evaporation (840 KJ/kg) and
higher oxygen contents (34.8%). It is worth relevant
to mention that the use of alcohol diesel blends has
some disadvantages such as reduced lubricity,
viscosity, cetane number and ignitability. However,
in case of biodiesel alcohol blends, these difficulties
are over come as biodiesel has higher viscosity and
better lubricity.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE
AND EMISSIONS BRAKE
THERMAL EFFICIENCY (BTE)
Fig.2 shows the variation of brake thermal
efficiency (BTE) with respect to brake mean effective
pressure (BMEP) for various test fuels. From the
experimental investigation it has been found that
BTE for all the test blends was higher in comparison
to baseline diesel fuel and JB100. At full load
condition the BTE for JB95E5, JB90E10, JB85E15,
JB80E20, D100 and JB100 is 24.02%, 24.93%,
25.53%, 26.10%, 22.65% and 21.69 % respectively.
This is due to the fact that biodiesel ethanol blend
contains around 20-25% enriched oxygen and higher
cetane number than neat diesel fuels. Due to this,
better combustion and atomization takes place hence
there is improvement in the break thermal efficiency
in case of biodiesel ethanol blends. It can also been
seen that the increase in ethanol concentration in
blends increases the BTE due to reduction in
viscosity and density. These results are in agreement
with the result obtained by Agrawal et al [31].
Fig:-3 BSEC Vs BMEP
IX. EXHAUST TEMPERATURE
Fig. 4 shows the variation of exhaust
temperature with brake mean effective pressure of
diesel fuel and biodiesel-ethanol blend. It shows that
the exhaust gas temperature increased with increase
in load in all cases. The highest value of exhaust gas
temperature of 430ºC was observed with the JB100,
whereas the corresponding value with diesel was
found to be 370º C. This is due to the lower heating
value of the biodiesel-ethanol blends and also due to
higher viscosity.

BRAKE SPECIFIC ENERGY
CONSUMPTION (BSEC)
Basic specific energy consumption is an
essential and ideal parameter for comparing engine
performance of the fuels having different calorific
value and density.Fig.3. shows the variation of brake
specific energy consumption (BSEC) with respect to
brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) for various
test fuels. From the experiment it has been observed
that BSEC for various biodiesel-ethanol blends are
lower in comparison to baseline diesel fuel and
JB100. At full load condition BSEC for D100 is
15.90 MJ/KWh while for JB 100 it is 16.60MJ/KWh.
BSEC for JB80E20 shows lowest BSEC value
(13.79MJ/KWh) in comparison to other test fuels.
The results are in similar to the result obtained by Qi
et.al. [32].

Fig:-4 Exhaust Temperature Vs BMEP
X. CO EMISSIONS
CI engine operate on lean mixture and at
high stoichiometric fuel air ratio. Therefore CO
emission is insignificant than Gasoline engine but
they are further reduced by use of biofuels. Fig.5
shows the variation of carbon monoxide (CO) with
respect to BMEP for various test fuels. CO emission
for all the test fuels is found lower in comparison to
baseline diesel fuel. The CO emissions are found to
be increasing with increase in load since the air-fuel
ratio decreases with increase in load such in internal
combustion engines. The engine emits less CO using
biodiesel ethanol blends as compared to that of diesel
fuel under all loading conditions. With increasing
ethanol percentage in biodiesel, CO emission level
decreases as amount of oxygen content in biodiesel

helps in complete combustion and proper oxidation.
The higher cetane number of blend as compared to
that of mineral diesel is also one of the reasons of
better combustion. At part load condition the
variation in the emission level of different blends are
insignificant but at full load condition baseline diesel
fuel shows highest CO emission level (0.2% v/v).
However, for JB100 and JB80E20 CO emission level
are 0.18% and 0.11 % respectively. The results
obtained are accordance with Zhu et.al. [33].

NOx EMISSIONS
The nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide
(NO2) are grouped together as NOx emission, nitric
oxide is the predominant oxide of nitrogen produced
in side in the cylinder .At lower temperature the
nitrogen is inert but at temperature higher than
1100°C nitrogen reacts with oxygen and form NOx.
Fig.7 shows the variation of Nitrogen oxide (NOx)
ppm with respect to BMEP for various test fuels. It
has observed that NOx emission increases with
increase in engine load. Compared with diesel, NOx
emission increase when fuelled with biodiesel. The
higher value of latent heat of evaporation and lower
calorific value of ethanol decrease the combustion
temperature. The cooling effect of the alcohol should
be dominant factor on NOx emission at low load but
at high engine load the cooling effect of the alcohol is
less influential leading to small difference in the NOx
emissions between the fuels. The results obtained are
in accordance with Sahoo et. al. [34]
Fig:-5 CO (%) Vs BMEP
XI. UNBURNT HYDROCARBON
Unburnt Hydrocarbons (UBHC) known as
organic emissions are the result of incomplete
combustion of HC fuel and is a useful measure of
combustion inefficiency.
Fig.6 shows the variation of UBHC emission
in exhaust gas (ppm) with respect to BMEP for
various test fuels. It is observed that HC emissions
gradually increase with increase of engine load.
Moreover, the HC emissions of the biodiesel and
ethanol biodiesel blends are lower than baseline data
of diesel. This may be due to the fact that low cetane
rating of the test fuels deteriorates combustion
process. Another reason for HC emission is
quenching effect due to higher value of latent heat of
evaporation. At part load condition the variation in
HC emission is insignificant to that of mineral diesel
but at full HC emission for D100 is 58 ppm while JB
100 shoes lowest HC emission of the level of 42
ppm. These results are in agreement with the result
obtained by Agrawal et al [31].

XIII.
SMOKE OPACITY/PM
EMISSIONS
Fig.8 shows the variation of % of smoke
variation with respect to BMEP for various test fuels.
It has observed that smoke opacity increases with
engine load because of fuel consumption gradually
increase with increase of load. At high load more fuel
is burnt in diffusion mode. This leads to increase in
the smoke opacity. The PM decreases when the
engine is fuelled with biodiesel and blend of Jatropha
oil and ethanol compared with diesel. By increasing
the percentage of ethanol in biodiesel blend, have
resulted in reduction in smoke at all load condition.
The blended fuel contains more oxygen than
biodiesel which leads to improve the combustion
process and reduce PM emissions. Blending biodiesel
with ethanol could reduce the viscosity and density of
the blend which leads to better atomization and hence
lower PM emissions. But higher percentage of
ethanol in blend to produce the cooling effect due to
high latent heat of evaporation causing an increase in
PM emissions. The results obtained are accordance
with Zhu et.al. [33]

CONCLUSION
In the present study, the experiments were
conducted using blends of Jatropha oil methyl ester
and ethanol. Subsequently performance, and emission
studies were carried out and compression has been
made taking neat diesel and neat Jatropha biodiesel.
Based on the experimental results, the following
major conclusions have been drawn:
1. Full load brake thermal efficiency was found to
increase with increase in ethanol percentage in
the biodiesel as a result of higher cetane rating of
biodiesel. Full load BTE of all the ethanol
blended fuels were found higher than diesel
baseline, However, JB80E20 exhibited an
impressive 20% increase over baseline data of
diesel.
2. BSEC for JB80E20 was lower followed by
JB85E15, JB90E10, JB95E5, D100, and JB100.
The main reason for lower BSEC for biodiesel
ethanol blend is amount of oxygen present in the
fuel as well as proper atomization of the test
fuels.
3. Due to lower heating value of biodiesel JB100
shows highest exhaust temperature compare to
baseline diesel fuel, rest of the blends are having
exhaust temperature range between D100 and
JB100.
4. Emission of carbon-monoxide was found to
reduce with increase in the biodiesel-ethanol
percentage. At part load condition the variations
insignificant but after 60 % loading condition
significant increase in CO emission was
observed for all the test fuels. JB80E20 exhibit
lowest CO emission whereas, for baseline diesel
fuel CO emission was highest.
6. It was observed that HC emissions increase
gradually with increase in load. HC emissions of
the biodiesel-ethanol blends were lower than
baseline data of diesel. This may be due to the
lower self ignition temperature as well as lower
cetane rating of the test fuels which leads to the
quenching effect.
www.ijera.com
NOx emission was highest for JB100 while for
mineral diesel it was lowest. This is due to the
enriched oxygen present in the biodiesel- ethanol
blends. At full load condition NOx for JB 100
was 26% higher than that of neat diesel followed
by JB80E20, JB85E15, JB90E10 and JB95E5.
8. Variation in smoke opacity was comparable for
all the test fuels in comparison to baseline diesel
fuel at lower loding condition. However, at peak
load baseline diesel fuel shows highest smoke
followed by JB100, JB95E5, JB90E10, JB85E15
and JB80E20.
As an outcome of the exhaustive engine
trials, it may be recommended that 20% (v/v) of
Jatropha biodiesel and ethanol blends can be used as
a feedstock for IC engine application.
