Experimental Investigation on Compression Ignition Engine runs on different blends of Neem oil

Mechanical Engineering

Neem belonging to Meliaceae family is one of the most suitable and valuable tree species found in India. It can grow on any soils up to pH 10. Due to its multifarious uses, it has been cultivated by Indian farmers since vedic period. It is been experimentally investigated that the properties of Neem oil and found that ester of this oil can be used as environment friendly alternative fuel for diesel engine creating a greener environment in the future. In presented work experimentally investigated 10 H.P. C.I. Engine fluidic with B10 & B20 blends of Neem oil for different injecting pressure to make proper atomization of blended fuel. Due to poor viscosity and density than ordinary diesel fuel, it is desired to change some injecting parameters for proper combustion and enhance mechanical efficiency. Engine trial will be done with three different nozzle holes numbers and by vary injecting pressure. Accordingly this trial will be performed under two different blends of Neem bio diesel. Various results will be found by trail run to check engine performance.
