Abstract

Aim : The aim of this research is to find suitable fuel for low HC emission by using biodiesel fuel with a blend at 10% by volume of waste cooking oil. Material and Methods: Neat diesel blended with waste cooking oil (WCO) in the ratio of 10% by volume and fueled in a multi cylinder diesel engine which has a Bore diameter - 73mm and Stroke Length -110mm on the test bed. It was mounted with an eddy current dynamometer on the same base frame and experimented with conventional settings. For each fuel, 20 experiments were considered based on the G-power calculator with 80% power having alpha value 0.05 and 95% confidence level (CI). Results: HC emissions for D90WCO10 blends was 73 ppm and for D100 it is 67 ppm with respect to 100% engine load. The significance values obtained for this group is 0.001 which is leuss than 0.05 (p<0.05) which shows that there is a significant difference among the fuels. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, there was nearly 17% of reduction in HCppm for D90WCO10 blend when compared with D100 neat diesel.
