Abstract: |
||||
The purpose of this work is to find out the combined effect of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), variable compression ratio (VCR) and blending of butanol on the performance characteristics of diesel engine and comparing the results with diesel and biodiesel fuel. The rapeseed oil methyl ester (ROME) blended with butanol with 10% and 20% by volume basis at EGR 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and variable compression ratio 14,16,18 respectively. Density and viscosity of ROME is decreased with increase in blending of butanol. As compare to diesel the butanol blended fuel shows less brake power, brake thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency on the other hand more specific fuel consumption. |
