Abstract

In the present study, the effects of biodiesel obtained from safflower oil through transesterification and Eurodiesel blends on engine performance were examined in a four-stroke, common-rail fuel system, water-cooled, four-cylinder diesel engine.Biodiesel blends of 10% biodiesel-90% Eurodiesel (B10) and 20% biodiesel-80% Eurodiesel (B20) were prepared by using the fuels obtained. Afterwards, the diesel engine was operated using B10, B20, 100% biodiesel (B100) and 100% Eurodiesel (B0) fuels. The findings were comparatively presented. In the experiments, engine power values obtained with Eurodiesel fuel, biodiesel and its blends were observed to be close to one another at all engine speeds. It was observed that fuel consumption showed a certain amount of increase with the use of Biodiesel and its blends compared to Eurodiesel fuel.
