Effect of biodiesel blend ratio derived from rubber seed oil on the fuel consumption when using in the diesel engine without structural modification by simulation and experiment
Abstract
In this study, The model Mazda WL diesel engine, 4-cylinder, 4 straight-line cylinder with biodiesel blends ratio of 0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% derived from rubber seed oil and DO has been simulated on ANSYS FLUENT software to analyze fuel consumption characteristics. Experimental engine has been using fuel with diesel (DO) and biodiesel blends (B15, B20, B25, B30) derived from rubber seed oil for a Mazda WL diesel engine installed on Mazda 2500 and Ford Ranger cars. The simulation results show that the average increase in fuel consumption rates for all modes for B15, B20, B25 and B30 compared to DO fuel are 0.71%, 1.69%, 2.77% and 3,83% respectively. Experimental results show that the average increase in fuel consumption rates for all modes for B15, B20, B25 and B30 compared to DO fuel are 0.58%, 1.39%, 2.19% and 3,19% respectively.
