Performance, emissions and wear characteristics of an indirect injection diesel engine using coconut oil blended fuel
Dynamometer tests have been carried out to evaluate the performance, emissions and wear characteristics of an indirect injection diesel engine when fuelled by 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per cent blends of ordinary coconut oil (COCO) with ordinary diesel fuel (OD). The test was conducted for 100 h usin...

| description | Dynamometer tests have been carried out to evaluate the performance, emissions and
wear characteristics of an indirect injection diesel engine when fuelled by 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per
cent blends of ordinary coconut oil (COCO) with ordinary diesel fuel (OD). The test was conducted
for 100 h using each of the test fuels to monitor the eVect of COCO blends on the wear and lubricating
oil performance. OD fuel was also used for comparison purposes.
The operating performance of the engine and the emission characteristics of exhaust gases were
compared. The eVect of blended fuel on the engine’s wear and lubrication characteristics in terms of
wear metal (Fe), water concentration, oxidation, viscosity, total base number and additive depletion
was analysed.
The performance and emissions characteristics results showed that 10–30 per cent coconut oil
blends produced slightly higher performance in terms of brake power than OD. All the COCO blends
produced lower exhaust emissions including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and particulate matter.
The wear and lubrication oil characteristics results showed that COCO blends up to 30 per cent
produced similar results to OD. This programme will give useful information for further research
and development in the future if COCO is used as an alternative to OD. |
