Abstract

This experimentation: Emission characteristics of Green Diesel is a comparative analysis between the emission characteristics of Baseline Diesel and Green Diesel - which is a blend of sunflower biodiesel, diesel, water and additives. The aim is to verify whether or not this blend of alternative fuel can give a better result in terms of the emissions of NOx, HCs, CO2 and in terms of Opacity. To carry out the experiment Sunflower Biodiesel is used as the primary biodiesel and blended with Diesel and Water to create 'Green Diesel'. Compression ratio of the engine was fixed to 18:1 and the load was varied to check the emission characteristics. The emission characteristics suggested that the Green Diesel performs better in terms of NOx emissions and CO2 emissions while the emission of HCs and the Opacity were on the higher side when compared to Baseline Diesel.
