Performance Analysis of Diesel Engine with Palm Stearin (PS) Biodiesel: Performance and Environmental Analysis of Palm Stearin Biodiesel in Diesel Engines

Abstract

The world's requirement on fossil fuel reserves is expanding quickly and at the current pace ofutilization, it is assessed that the world will before long be confronting an extreme vitality emergencybecause of the fatigue of fossil fuel assets. This research work is pointed toward exploring the possibilityof utilizing Palm Stearin Methyl Ester as a fuel substitute for CI engines. GCMS was used to determinethe fatty acid composition of Palm Stearin Methyl Ester. Combustion, emission, and engine performancewere measured and compared across a range of bio-diesel blends. The Kirloskar TV1 VCR Engine with atypical 17.51 Compression Ratio was used for the test. Using bio-diesel blends reduces frictional loss,leading to greater mechanical efficiency. We found that using Palm Stearin bio-diesel reduced emissionsof both hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. This means that Palm Stearin bio-diesel may be considereda viable alternative fuel to petro-diesel.
