Description:
Present study investigates the effect hemispherical (HCC), cylindrical (CCC), toroidal (TCC) and toroidal re-entrant (TrCC) type combustion chamber (CC) geometry on the characteristics of combustion, performance and exhaust emissions from the engine using Simarouba Oil Methyl Ester (SuOME) and to compare with base engine operated with diesel fuel. Simarouba oil biodiesel is prepared by 2 stage transesterification using methanol and KoH. 4-stroke naturally aspirated single-cylinder water-cooled direct-injection diesel engine with different optimized injection parameters of injection pressure to 240 bar, injection timing to 27 0 bTDC, 6 hole injector of 0.2 mm diameter, and loading condition at rated speed of 1500 rpm were used for testing. Ignition delay (ID), combustion duration (CD), peak pressure (PP), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and exhaust emissions (HC, CO, smoke opacity and NO x ) were measured to estimate the behaviour o...
