Abstracts : In the transport sector, a Major source of energy is from
diesel engine. Karanja oils have a great potential to be
alternative fuel for diesel engines. Use of non edible oil is
helpful for food security. Blend of biodiesel, ethanol and
diesel fuel improve some properties compared with
biodiesel diesel blends and ethanol biodiesel blends.
Addition of ethanol (CN-6 to 8) lowers cetane number of
blend with the addition of cetane improver it can be
overcome. This paper consist of investigation of
properties of karanja biodiesel, karanja biodiesel with
15% ethanol and cetane improver(3ml) and karanja
biodiesel with 20% ethanol and cetane improver (3ml).
Also the performance of these blends investigated with
the help of variable compression ratio engine taking
15,16,17,18 as a compression ratio. Addition of cetane
improver (2-EHN), lower ignition delay and improve
combustion quality. The effect of these blends on Brake
Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Brake Thermal
Efficiency (BTE), Indicated Thermal Efficiency (ITE),
Volumetric Efficiency, Mechanical Efficiency, Exhaust
Gas Temperature (EGT) is Studied. From experimental
result it is found that additional lubricity gives better
output with minimum frictional loss as compared with
conventional diesel. Cetane improver which gives better
combustion characteristics reduces ignition delay and
maximum amount of fuel burnt nearer to TDC and no
fuel remain for the after combustion stage or exhaust pipe
combustion. Lower heating value give less heat
generation which causes lower exhaust gas temperature.
