Abstract

The rapid depletion of energy resources and continuous increasing cost of petroleum based fuels with their pollution from diesel engine to environment has caused an interest to search for new alternate fuels such as vegetable oils, gaseous fuel. The main objective of this work is to evaluate performance and emission characteristics using CNG (compressed natural gas) and POME (Pongamia oil methyl ester) in a dual fuel mode where pongamia biodiesel used as a pilot fuel to ignite CNG gas. The engine tests were carried out for neat pongamia biodiesel, CNG flow rates of 0.3 kg/hr and 0.6 kg/hr with pongamia biodiesel in a dual fuel mode and obtained results are compared with diesel. In a dual fuel mode CNG flow rate of 0.6 kg/hr gives similar performance compared to diesel. The brake thermal efficiency for 0.6 kg/hr CNG-POME is 26.7% against 28.6% diesel at 75% of the load. In a dual fuel mode CO, CO CORR and hydro carbon emissions are higher at low load and at full load with increase in percentage of CNG CO, CO CORR and HC emissions are completely reduced to a certain extent. In a dual fuel mode CO₂ emission, smoke and NO_x emission also reduced compared to diesel and pongamia biodiesel. From comparison of all tested fuels CNG flow rate of 0.6 kg/hr with biodiesel is optimum having lower emissions with very little reduction in brake thermal efficiency.
