Experimental Study on Biodiesel Production Parameter Optimization of Jatropha–Algae Oil Mixtures and Performance and Emission Analysis of a Diesel Engine Coupled with a Generator Fueled with Diesel/Biodiesel Blends
Sunil Kumar, Siddharth Jain, Harmesh Kumar
Abstract
value of ANOVA is <0.0001, which shows that the model is significant. Finally, the performance and emissions in a diesel engine coupled with an electricity generator powered by biodiesel blends (B0, B5, B10, and B20% vol.) were investigated, concluding a significant reduction of exhaust gases. The engine was run with numerous blends of biodiesel by changing the brake power from 0 load to 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 KW.
