Abstract

Experimental work was carried out using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) additive mixed with Jatropha based biodiesel fuel in naturally aspirated CI engine. Experiments are performed for pure diesel, pure biodiesel from Jatropha oil and 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% of additives mixed with Jatropha biodiesel. The task was accomplished for three different engine loads of 1.4, 2.8 and 4.2 kW. Emissions of CO, CO2, HC and NOx was measured and compared with emission characteristics of pure diesel, pure biodiesel and biodiesel with additives as fuel. The result shows improvements of emission of CO, CO2 and HC with biodiesel however slight increase in NOx with biodiesel. Nevertheless NOx emission characteristics are improved with addition of DTBP additives in biodiesel.
