Investigation on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Variable Compression Ration Engine by using Fish Oil Methyl esters

Abstract

Investigated are the operation and emission properties of a four –stroke, single cylinder variable compression ratio engine running on methyl ester fuel from fish oil. This study has demonstrated that methyl ester of fish oil is suitable as a bio fuel. This study made use of biodiesel made from fish oil through the Trans esterification process. The experiment was run with CR= 16.0, 17.5, and 19.0, A variable load and a Fixed engine speed 1500 r.p.m, researchers have looked at and presented the effects of CR on brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature and pollutants.
