Effect of NOx and Mechanical Efficiency in Single Cylinder Diesel Engine using Multiple Injection of Biodiesel- An Experimental Investigation

Abstract

This research paper investigates the impact of multiple injections of biodiesel, derived from sources such as Karanja seed oil, Cotton seed oil, and Waste cooking oil, on a single-cylinder diesel engine. Through experimentation, it has been observed that the sequential injection of these biodiesel blends results in a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions. Simultaneously, mechanical efficiency is found to increase, highlighting the potential for optimizing combustion processes in diesel engines for improved environmental and operational performance. The findings suggest a promising avenue for enhancing the sustainability of diesel engines by leveraging alternative biodiesel sources and injection strategies.
