Effect on the Activation Energy of Pongamia Oil with Emissions and Performance in a Diesel Engine

In diesel engines, biofuel has been converted into a substitute fuel to replace fossil diesel. In this study, we focus on the effect on the activation energy of Pongamia oil with emissions and performance in a diesel engine. Activation energy is determined using the mathematical relation of cetane number using experimental data of various fuel properties measurements. The sharp decrease in the activation energy (2.33%) undergoes diminishment in carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were observed to be 30.13%, 18.18%, 25.67%, adding BKO from 10% to 40%. The diminishment in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) having slope and intercept: Ea = -0.01475BTE + 8.40851. Also, the decrease in the activation energy was observed to be 2.33% undergoes diminishment in the performance (BTE) in diesel engine.
