The influence of the heptane content was evaluated by comparing the results obtained from the engine (performance and combustion parameters) with those of the diesel fuel and straight Jatropha oil. The results obtained show an improvement in engine performance especially at low loads. Specifically, a reduction in the specific fuel consumption of the engine is obtained when the heptane content in the mixture is around 10% compared to that obtained with pure Jatropha oil. The best results were obtained with the blend containing 70% Jatropha oil, 20% diesel fuel and 10% heptane (J70G20H10). Overall engine efficiency and exhaust gas temperatures are comparable for all fuels tested. Engine combustion parameters are improved with J70G20H10. The results obtained with J70G20H10 are close to those of the engine operating on diesel fuel. The cyclic dispersion is low with coefficients of variation of the indicated mean effective pressure (COV<sub>IMEP</sub>) whose values are less than 10%. The lowest values of the COV<sub>IMEP</sub> are obtained with the blend J70G20H10.展开更多

The engine bench testing was carried out on the 485QB diesel engine. From the testing results of velocity, loading and exhaust gas, it can be seen that the power decreases and the fuel consumption increases using the micro-emulsification diesel oil. But based on the actual fuel consumption, the use of emulsification diesel with water dopant of 10% can get the effect of oil saving; while with water donant of more than 15% , it doesnt work evidently. The investigation shows that using the micro - emulsification diesel oil, we can reduce the exhaust gas pollution and receive better environment benefit.展开更多
