Emission analysis of dual fuelled diesel engine

ABSTRACT

This study is aimed to examine the emission characteristics of a mustard biodiesel (M100) along with Methane as a dual fuel in research diesel engine. Experimental results revealed the maximum reduction in hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, emission for biodiesel–Methane than neat biodiesel at the flow-rate of 5 lpm. However, NO_x emissions were found to be higher for Methane–biodiesel fuelling owing to increase in combustion gas temperature at all flow rates.
