摘要
Being a fuel of different origin, the standard design parameters of a diesel engine may not be suitable for Jatropha methyl ester (JME). This study targets at finding the effects of the engine design parameters viz. compression ratio (CR) and fuel injection pressure (IP) jointly on the performance with regard to fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTHE) and emissions Of CO, CO(2), HC, NO(x) and Smoke opacity with JME as fuel. Comparison of performance and emission was done for different values of compression ratio along with injection pressure to find best possible combination for operating engine with JME. It is found that the combined increase of compression ratio and injection pressure increases the BTHE and reduces BSFC while having lower emissions, For small sized direct injection constant speed engines used for agricultural applications (3.5 kW), the optimum combination was found as CR of 18 with IP of 250 bar.
