- Description
- 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.
