Abstract
The global community has focused on the sustainability of petroleum-based fuel supply due to increased usage in various sectors, depletion of petroleum resources, and volatile crude oil market prices. We are looking for alternative fuel. As a result, we have chosen biodiesel. In this paper, a diesel blend containing biodiesel, ethanol, and butanol was created to test the characteristics of a common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. The blends of diesel-biodiesel and diesel-biodiesel-ethanol-butanol were designated as B40 and B40-E10-BUT10 respectively. The experiment is carried out at a rate of 20% EGR. The experimental results show that the mechanical efficiency is higher in biodiesel blends than in diesel. The use of an EGR system with these blends reduces NOx by lowering the oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
