An experimental investigation to study the performance and emission characteristics of n-butanol-gasoline blends in a twin spark ignition engine
The need of a substitute for the fossil fuels has gained maximum importance in the recent days with the depletion of fossil fuels, increasing vehicle population, enforcement of strict pollution norms to ensure a better environment for the present and future generations. Researchers around the world have investigated many fuels for IC engines and have found that alcohols exhibit properties that closely resemble the properties of gasoline. Alcohols form a stable mixture with gasoline in almost all proportions. This property of alcohol has increased its popularity as a fuel blend with gasoline. This paper aims at presenting the performance characteristics of a twin spark ignition engine fuelled with the blends of n-butanol-gasoline. In this investigation, pure gasoline (B00) and blends of gasoline with n-Butanol forms the fuel for twin spark ignition engine. The use of B35 blend, lower carbon monoxide emissions, lower unburnt hydrocarbon and lower nitrogen oxide emissions are observed as compared to pure gasoline. With these investigational results, one can arrive at the conclusions that with the use of higher blends of n-butanol-gasoline, the emission of the regulated emissions are reduced and are seen to be optimal with B35 in a twin spark ignition engine.

Extraction and characterization of biofuel from industrial waste organic pupae-silkworm
The current work carted out of analysis on the production of fuel from pupae fat extracted from silkworm, and exhaustive investigations were conducted to determine the characteristics of obtained fuel and its blends. The oily organic compounds derived from silkworm is effectively adopted to produce biofuel. The soxhlet extractor is utilized here to separate the oil content from pupae and obtained oil processed into biofuel by undertaking the transesterification process using NaOH as a fast reactive agent along with methanol. The rate of biofuel derived from pupae oil has been noticed to be 65-70 by vol%. The extracted fuels from the transesterification process were mixed with high-speed diesel at a rate of B10, B20, B30 and B40 on volume base. The most important physical and chemical characteristics of generated fuel and their mixture with conventional diesel were examined. The investigation results reveal that the fuel sample B20 satisfies all the requirements of ASTM standards. Pure biofuel shows that the lesser heating value, higher KV, flash point, fire point and density than that of conventional diesel. The blended samples reveal that all the properties are keep moving towards higher value with an increasing percentage of biofuel presence except calorific value. Finally results in evidence that, well suitable biofuel can be generated from organic waste material like silkworm and effectively use it in practical applications. BEIESP. -
Biofuel production and characterization from waste chicken skin and pig fat
The biofuels are the most important alternative energy sources in future to fulfil the energy demands. The team of our students carried out an innovative process to convert waste to value-added products. The students have been visited many meat stalls and gathered the required amount of resources with and without cost. The collected waste chicken skin and pig tallow is heated and extracted fat, which is the primary sources to produce the biofuel. The fat extraction process was carried by shredding down the waste chicken skin and pig tallow. The obtained fat was filtered and heated up to 110C to remove all the impurities, water suspensions, blood cells and pieces of bones. The process called transesterification process was carried out to convert obtained fat into biofuel with methyl alcohol and KOH as a catalyst. Transesterification process carted with fat before acid wash and after acid wash to examine the effect of FFA on biofuel yield. The quantity of biofuel yield has been observed to be 62 to 68% for fat from waste chicken skin and 82 to 83 % for fat from pig tallow. The derived fuel from fat from both resources is combined with conventional diesel fuel to check the different properties on a volume basis varied by 10% up to 40%. The essential properties such as viscosity, density, flashpoint, fire point and calorific values were determined, and results show that the fuel combination CB20 and PB20 meets the all requirements of ASTM standards to fix as an additive fuel to CI engines. The clear biofuel from both the fat expressed higher viscosity, density, flash and fire point with a lesser value of energy density. BEIESP. -
Effect of compression ratio on performance and emission characteristics of dual spark plug ignition engine fueled with n-butanol as additive fuel
Renewable energy called normal-butanol is a possible alternative fuel for automobile vehicles like some other possible fuel such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol, and methanol. Bio-butanol or normal-butanol is also a meritable energy source to substitute for regular fossil fuels. The normal-butanol has recently started to use as a possible substitute fuel to regular fuels for internal combustion engines to attain eco-friendly and capital benefits. As compared to regular energy sources in internal combustion engines, normal-butanol has some benefits, so it shows the potential to decrease tailpipe emission and an increase in positive network delivery. The current work carried out to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of dual spark plug ignition engine fuelled with normal-butanol as additive fuel by adopting 10:1 and 10.5:1 compression ratios. The experimental results reveal that when compared between 10:1 and 10.5:1 compression ratios, brake power (BP) is increased by 3.5 % and 3.2 % for normal-Butanol 35 (nB35) blend and energy efficiency increased by 2.72 % and 2.14 % for nB35 blend at a part and full load for 10.5:1 compression ratio. The n-butanol create a greater impact on tailpipe emissions that the carbon monoxide (CO) decreased by 32 %, 29 %, and hydrocarbon (HC) reduced by 2.38 % and 2.22 % for nB35 blend at a part and full load condition respectively. The experimental results on dual spark ignition engine using n-butanol as additive fuel by varying compression ratio reveals that n-butanol can be a suitable replacement energy source for the automobile sector in the nearest future. 2021.

Experimental analysis of biofuel produced from fat derivatives of bird and animal as an additive fuel in CI engine
In the present work, an alternative form of biofuel for the Compression Ignition (CI) Engine is generated from inedible disposable chicken skin and pig tallow. The collected resources are heated up to 80C to extract fat and subjected to a trans-esterification process to obtain biofuel. The process resulted in 730ml and 950ml of high viscous biofuel from 1000ml of fat from waste chicken skin (WCS) and pig tallow (PT) respectively. The pure biofuels from WCS and PT have 38.07% and 41.68% higher viscous than diesel. The obtained biofuel is blended with diesel at 10, 20, and 30% by volume. The thermal, physical, and chemical properties of blended fuel are determined and found closer to the diesel properties. The engine tests indicate that the brake power of the B30 blend was decreased by 15.78% while the B10 combination produces 11.02% less power as compared to diesel at full load. The efficiency was reduced by 22.15, 7.59 % for B30, and B10 respectively at full load condition. About 3.9% and 34% of reduction in NOx, 22.5%, 27.5% of reduction in HC emission were recorded for respective blends at the same operating condition. This paper emphasizes on deriving value-added products from waste resources and its effective utilization. The findings from work indicate that the derived biofuel could be used in combination with diesel for the adequate partial replacement of diesel in CI engines without any significant alterations. 2020 International Journal of Renewable Energy Research. -
An Overview of Nano-Catalysts in Biodiesel Production
Energy consumption and dependence on non-renewable resources is increasing over the years. The combustion of fossil fuels resulting in the emission of substantial amounts of CO2, NOX, SOX and some greenhouse gases. Biofuels are evolving as the primary alternatives to fossil fuels since they can be readily synthesised from discarded bioresources and yield lesser emission during the combustion process. However, the extraction of biofuels has thrown up new challenges that have widened the scope of the use of nano-particles in the synthesis of biofuels. From the literature, distinct findings concerning the use of nano-particles as a catalyst and process reactant during biodiesel production have been identified; this is majorly attributed to the fact that nano-catalysts enhance thermophysical properties, reaction speed and mass transport properties. Henceforth, the present paper aims to review, summarise and provide an insight into the research findings of effectively using nanocatalysts in biofuel production and consider the significance and its relevance for further researchers in the domain of biofuels. 2022, Books and Journals Private Ltd..
