Performance and Emission Characteristics of Lemongrass Oil Fueled CI Engine
Authors(1) :-Dr. R. Ramachandra
The combustion of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine fuelled with neat lemongrass oil, diesel was evaluated the performance and Emission characteristics. In this regard, the combustion phenomena of lemongrass oil were investigated at engine speed of 1500 rpm and compression ratio of 17.5 in a four-stroke cycle engine. Furthermore, the engine tests were conducted with homogeneous charge compression ignition engine. The tests were conducted to measure fuel consumption, indicated power, Brake thermal efficiency, combustion characteristics and compared with conventional diesel fuel operation. The results indicated that the higher specific fuel consumption, the brake thermal efficiency was nearly equal to the diesel fuel. The experimental outcomes disclosed that successful ignition and energy release trends can be obtained from a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine fuelled with lemongrass oil.
