Experimental investigations of direct injection compression ignition engine by using Coconut,and Karanja biodiesel fuels with emulsions of microalgae based antioxidant

The Compression Ignition (CI) engines are playing vital role in the transportation sector; because of their lower maintenance cost even. The practice of Diesel or biodiesel is increasing Green House Gases (GHG) such as NO_x, particulate matter in the environment. Among all GHG emissions, NO_x is most harmful to human, environment. The use of additives in Diesel, biodiesel their blends in CI engine is very well practicing fuel modification technique to reduce GHG emissions. The higher cost of phenol, amine-based antioxidants are causing to increase CI engine operating cost. In this work, to investigate unmodified Direct Injection Compression Ignition engine characteristics. The Mixed culture Microalgae (MCM) biomass particles used as an antioxidant additive in pure Coconut, Karanja biodiesel. The brake thermal efficiency improved because of the explosion of MCM particles. The NO_x emissions reduced due to the absorption of heat from the combustion chamber by microalgae particle.
