Performance and Combustion Characteristics Analyses of Mustered Seed Oil B60 with Different Compression Ratio

To perform a comparative study of the performance combustion and emission characteristics of pure diesel and mustered blends, a single-cylinder stationary Kirloskar TV1 Engine.xls engine was used. The ratio of mustered oil blends to diesel was 60%. The mustered blend was selected appropriately and the compression ratio was optimized for this study. From this report it is proven that the most favorable of mustered and diesel blends is 60% of mustered and 40% of diesel with compression ratio 14:1,15:1,16:1 & 17.5:1.In comparison, the release of CO was reduced; however, there was a moderate increase in the release of NOx. Therefore, with only a slight alteration in the present diesel engines, the algae blend can be used.
