Abstract

In recent times, with more thermal efficiency, low NO_x and particulate matter, Homogeneous Charge Compression Engines (HCCI Engines) emerged for renewed interest. However, knocking and misfiring were considered as classic problems in HCCI engines. To compensate the impact of depletion of petroleum reserves also to lessen the deleterious effects of most regularly used fossil fuels, alternate fuels emerged into the scenario. Researchers studied that Compression ignition engines faced difficulties due to the inherent nature of high viscosity, when vegetable oils were consumed. In the present research, the impact of Kusum oil biodiesel blends on performance and emission characteristics were examined using experimental investigation. Conventional diesel engine has been converted into HCCI engine to operate in homogeneous mode. The blends B20, B50 and pure biodiesel were taken, by varying the input air temperature and port fuel injection pressure, the variation of performance and emission characteristics were analyzed. To implement HCCI mode operation, Homogenous mixture of air and fuel is made by port fuel injection technique which is the basic requirement. Using an external device, the mixture formation and fuel vaporization was done. Varying the temperature of the blends at different port fuel injection pressures, the performance parameter brakes thermal efficiency, NO_x, CO, CO₂, HC emissions and smoke density were analyzed in the HCCI mode. Also optimal parameters were found by using the experimental investigations.
