Abstract:

Biodiesel has proved to be one of the promising alternate fuels for compression ignition engine and has become increasingly important due to diminishing petroleum reserves and their rising prices. Keeping in view the stringent emission regulations, it is indispensable to investigate particle number size distributions of the fuels used in diesel engines. In the present work, a turbocharged, direct injection and intercooled CI (Compression Ignition) engine has been fuelled with biodiesel and its 20% blend with commercial diesel for the comparative analysis of number size distribution of exhaust emissions at different engine speed and load. ELPI (Electrical Low Pressure Impactor) has been used for this purpose. Experimental results show that biodiesel has dominancy in nanoparticles (with Dp
