CHAPTER 5
PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF A DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE FUELLED WITH METHYL ESTER PRODUCED FROM WASTE ANIMAL FAT
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The commonly used power producing devices in the automobiles are direct injection diesel engines. The diesel engines are excellent fuel economy over spark ignition and indirect injection engines. In this direction considerable research has been done to use biodiesel as an alternative fuel in the unmodified diesel engine.
5.2 Experimental set up
The performance and emission characteristics experimental were carried out by using single cylinder direct injection computerized diesel engine running under constant speed and variables. Table 5.1 shows engine specifications. Figure5.1 shows a schematic diagram of experimental set up. It is fitted with diesel engine, fuel tank. It has a data acquisition system, a computer, an operation panel and an exhaust gas analyzer.
5.3 Experimental procedure
The waste animal fat methyl esters produced from waste animal fat and its blends with diesel oil. The experimental work carried out by using pure diesel oil, B20, B40, B60, B80 and B100 at different types of engine load (0.4kg, 4kg, 6kg, 8kg and 10kg) test engine carried out by using eddy current dynamometer. Before running

Moreover, HC emission also rises with lean mixture due incomplete combustion. Figure5.7 shows that effect of load on hydrocarbon emission run with diesel engine on B20, B40, B60, B80, B100and diesel oil. Hydrocarbon emission waste animal fat methyl ester (B100) very lower than diesel oil. Lower hydrocarbons emission (1ppm) was obtained for B100 at 0.4kg load which is 90% lower than conventional diesel oil at the same load. Higher hydrocarbons emission (15ppm) was obtained for B20 at 10kg load which is31.81% lowers than diesel oil at same load. This is due presence of maximum oxygen content in
I believe I was born with a Snap-On wrench in one hand and a can of diesel fuel in the other. My favorite smell in the world happens to be burnt diesel fuel in the morning after a good old cup of coffee. A heavy diesel technician diagnoses, repairs, and rebuilds heavy diesel engines. They repair anything that needs repaired on a big truck, piece of heavy
This difference in oxygen levels is the difference between a surviving catfish and a dead one. They were both from the same site so they should have not been off by as much as that, showing the imprecision of our class
1) For the Career Story Interview, I interviewed a Diesel Technician. On O*NET, the interests associated with this career is Realistic and Conventional (“Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists”, 2017). This occupation has a Realistic interest because this inventory is associated with practical, hands-on work. These occupations work with a lot of materials and machines to build and repair. Realistic people often work outside with not a lot of paperwork that deals with what they do.
Diesel Technicians Diesel engines are the workhorses powering the Nation 's trucks, buses, and heavy equipment. Diesel-powered engines are also becoming more popular in light vehicles, including cars, pickups, and other work vehicles. Diesel service technicians and diesel mechanics, who are also known as diesel engine specialists, maintain and repair diesel engines that are used to power transportation equipment such as buses, semis, and locomotives. Some diesel technicians work on mobile equipment such as road graders, bulldozers, loaders, cranes, tractors, and combines. Only a small portion of diesel technicians repair diesel-powered automobiles, pickups, or ships.
Diesel mechanics The job I would want when I get older is to be a Diesel mechanic, I would want this job because I find the way engines and other machines work interesting. To become a Diesel mechanic you will need 3-5 years of experience and a high school diploma. The average yearly salary for a Diesel mechanic is about 42,000-54,400 these results will vary depending on work hours, business size, and location. The duties Diesel mechanics regularly perform on a daily basis are repairs on things like valve tuning so the engine runs smoothly and efficiently
Oxygen was being consumed and carbon dioxide was being released because the water level in test tube “G” continued to
This finding could have been due to experimental errors which affected the results. Discussion
Diesel Mechanic Becoming a diesel mechanic is an extremely rare and overlooked career path. Not everyone is cut out to be a diesel mechanic; it is a very dirty, hands-on job. However, it does not require any book sense. It is simply the understanding of an intricate diesel engine. Being a diesel mechanic is a rewarding career that is a vital part of maintaining much of America’s transport.
the average fuel economy for a gas truck is around 14mpg. Along with the poor fuel economy, the gas that goes through the truck does not burn as clean. When the gas does not burn as clean, that means that it puts out more pollution than a diesel engine. A diesel engine also has 25-30% better fuel economy that a gas engine. With the 25-30% better fuel economy, a diesel engine can deliver much more fuel economy that electric hybrids.
The basic principle of the most vehicles on either in land, air or water is mixing fuel and air. Cars, trucks, jet engines, and motorcycles mixed fuel and air to become power and burn in cylinders inside the engine. The amount of fuel and air that enters the engine varies from time to time, depending on the time running, speed, and other factors. However, modern vehicles use and electronic devices to control the amount of air and fuel that enters the system called fuel injection Carburetor was invented by an Italian, Luigi de Cristoris on 1876. After a few years, Karl Benz made his own carburettor when he developed the first automobile run by internal combustion.
The reduction of carbon emissions to the atmosphere, the cost of maintenance and refuelling and the safety of electric vehicles are surely convincing rationale for us to make changes. So, we all know that majority of people commonly utilise fuel, oil or LPG as a
Bio-diesel production yields undesirable by-products for example methanol and glycerin. These by-products are removed so that the bio-diesel is suitable for use. Fractional distillation is used in the essential oil, flavor and fragrance industry. Raw essential oils are extracted from different plants such as mint, clove and tee tree for example. These raw oils contains impurities that have a bad flavour or odor.
When carbohydrate is utilized, acids are formed which changes the colour of the medium from green to yellow
The engines of electric cars are powered by electricity. This means that individuals do not need to do lubrication for the engines. Electricity is a clean form of energy and as such, the expensive procedure of paying for checkups of engines has been cast down the cesspits of history. The car does not need frequent service as is the case with the common fuel
