Experimental Analysis of Performance and Emissions of a Diesel Engine Fueled with Diesel–Water Emulsions

Abhinay, V. / Krishna P, S. V. S. S. R. / Karthikeya Sharma, T. / Ambaprasad Rao, G.

In this work, diesel–water emulsification to reduce the NO_x emissions and unburnt fuel was attempted. Two different diesel–water emulsions along with selected surfactants which are “92% Diesel, 5.5% Water, 1% Tween 20, 1.5% Span 80” and “90% Diesel 7.5% Water, 1% Tween 20, 1.5% Span 80” used for the experimentation work. These two emulsified diesel fuel variants are installed and subjected to testing on the water-cooled diesel engine under variable load condition and at a constant motor speed of 1500 rpm. The engine performance and emissions data of conventional diesel fuel and two diesel–water emulsified fuel variants mentioned above are obtained and compared. The amount of NO_x was lower in the emissions of the engine compared to when a conventional diesel fuel is used, yet the engine performance was not compromised even though there is reduction in peak in-cylinder temperature.
