Investigating The Performance and Emission of Biodiesel

Abstract There is a great demand for the fossil fuels like petroleum products. By using the fossil fuels the emissions like smoke, NOx is high. In order to replace the fossil fuels, now-a-days researchers are moving for alternative fuels to improve the performance and lower the emissions. One of the most efficient ways to achieve this is by using the concept of RCCI engines. The primary fuel used is high viscous i.e., Micro Algae biodiesel with the combination of Di - Methyl Carbonate (DMC) and Diesel. The secondary fuel used is Pentanol i.e., Low viscous fuel. The engine can be run with the dual fuel RCCI mode to study and analyze the combustion, performance and emission characteristics.
