INVESTIGATION OF EXHAUST GAS EMISSION OF DIESEL ENGINE (ELECTRIC GENERATOR AND CAR-DIESEL MOTOR) USING PETROLEUM DIESEL BLENDED BIO-DIESEL
Abstract
This paper describes recent development on investigation of exhaust gas emission of diesel engine (electric generator and car-diesel motor) using petroleum diesel blended Bio-diesel (Bio-I and Bio-2). The engine was tested on a series of diesel fuels blended with five additive levels(0, 5%. 10%. 15%. and 20% of bio-diesel by volume). Results of tests on engine of electric generator show that NOx in exhaust gas emission reduce when the Bio-1 (40% < CI6 and 60% > C20) content in the mixture puts up, compared to the base diesel and Bio-2 (10% < C16 and
90% > C20).however have increase of HC. The use of bio-diesel blend on car-engine seems to result in small reductions of hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2).
