Abstract

The aim of the present work is to experimentally investigate the effect of injection pressure (IP) and injection timing (IT) on the performance, combustion, and emissions of a compression ignition (CI) engine with aegle marmelos oil (bael oil) blends. This work includes the exergy analysis of diesel engine to maximize the work availability. The tests were conducted on a constant speed direct injection diesel engine fueled with ternary blends of bael oil, diethyl ether (DEE) and neat diesel (D) at various engine loads. When the engine was operated with B2 blend (60%D+30%bael oil+10%DEE), there was an increase in brake thermal efficiency of 3.5% accompanied by a declination in oxides of nitrogen emissions by 4.7% at full load with 250bar IP. The B2 blend showed lower hydrocarbon emission by 7% as compared to that of neat diesel at full engine load with fuel IT of 23° before top dead center. With Increase in engine load, augmentation exhaust gas and cooling water availabilities lead to amplification of exergy efficiency with increasing load. The exergy efficiency of B2 fuel has found as 62.17% of fuel input at 230bar IP with 100% load. From results, B2 fuel exhibits the best performance and combustion characteristics.
