Evaluation of biodiesel from used cooking sunflower oil as substitute fuel.Steyn, Christoffel Bernadus. January 2010 (has links)
Thesis (MTech. degree in Mechanical Engineering)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2010. / This study evaluates the use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. The fuel properties, performance, emission characteristics and combustion characteristics of a four-stroke, four-cylinder water cooled, high speed direct injection (DI) diesel engine operated on biodiesel, 30% biodiesel and 70% biodiesel blended fuels were measured. Results related to the direct use of biodiesel as a diesel engine fuel indicate that this is possible but not preferable because of its high viscosity and cetane number. Biodiesel could be used in the blends with diesel fuel, because most of the measured properties of the biodiesel-diesel blended fuels were close to those of the diesel fuel. It was found that the performance parameters of the biodiesel-diesel blended fuels did not differ greatly from those of diesel fuel. A slight power decrease, with an increase in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), was noticed with the blend fuels. Smoke emissions were reduced for the blends while NOx was increased remarkably for the biodiesel-blended fuels. The test results demonstrated that the combustion carbon deposits (CCD) of biodiesel are a little less than that of the diesel fuel. The peak combustion pressure of the B70 blended fuel was found to be the highest amongst the four tested fuels. It is consequently argued that biodiesel appears to offer a potential alternative "greener" energy substitute for fossil fuel.
