A detailed analysis and performance analysis of diesel blended with eucalyptus/pine seed oil on a CI engine

Abstract

In the recent era, an alternative fuel plays a vital role in the automobile and petroleum industry because of the fuel (petrol and diesel) demand, development of industries and diminution of natural resources. The economic way to produce bio-diesel from various resources and mixing or blending bio-oil with diesel, this method can widely follow by all developing and developed countries. This paper mainly examines the consumption of pine oil, methanol and eucalyptus blend with diesel in a diesel engine, the performance and emission characteristics of three different blends of pine oil, methanol, and eucalyptus oils. It is found that the above said bio-diesel blend is the best substitute for the pure diesel which plays a vital role against natural resource which may help the future generation. From these reports, the outcome of bio-diesel against engine power, economy, durability and combustion, and the corresponding effect factors are surveyed and analysed in detail.
