Improvement Of Compression Ignition Engine Performance With B20 Biodiesel Blended Fueled - A Review

The current increase in energy consumption has led to a search for the most efficient exploitation of traditional energy sources. Fossil fuels are the predominant energy source for fulfilling India's energy requirements. The utilization of domestically sourced alternative fuels is crucial for engine operations. The increasing cost and limited accessibility of diesel fuel, along with the hazardous emissions produced by compression ignition (CI) engines, have led to a significant focus on biodiesel and its mixes over the last two decades. The adoption of biodiesel is motivated by its positive environmental impacts and promising economic opportunities. The present study investigates the effects of B20, a fuel blend comprising 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel, on engine performance and emissions. This study's findings demonstrate that combining 20% biodiesel (B20) with conventional diesel fuel yields enhanced engine performance and reduced emissions. The decrease in microcosmic emissions safeguards both public health and the integrity of engines. The B20 particles exhibit a high level of competence in controlling emissions. Using biodiesel as a stabilizing agent in diesel fuel can enhance performance and mitigate the emission of pollutants.
