Performance Study Of Diesel Engine Operated On Biodiesel Produced From Soybean Oil Using Clay Doped With Ionic Liquid As Catalyst:- Stanford Victor C
ABSTRACT
This
study investigated the potentials of soybean seed biodiesel as an alternative
fuel for diesel engines. It involved the production of biodiesel from soybean
seed and its engine performance study. It started with the extraction of
soybean oil from soybean seed and the soybean oil was transesterified with
methanol using clay doped with ionic liquid as a catalyst to obtain methyl
'festers (biodiesel) of lower viscosity thanrthe oil. The biodiesel possesses
lower calorific value compared to fossil diesel. The specific gravity of the
biodiesel does not vary much compared to fossil diesel. The kinematic viscosity
is slightly higher than that ofthe fossil diesel counterpart but it is however
within the biodiesel standard limits. The fuel properties such as kinematic viscosity,
oxidation stability, cetane number, density and specific gravity, flash and
boiling points, cloud and pour points, acid and methanol values, water contents
and heats of combustion (lower calorific values) were determined for the
soybean-biodiesel and compared with those of fossil diesel and the ASTM
recommended values for biodiesel. Therefore, biodiesel produced from renewable
and often domestic sources, represents a more sustainable source of energy. The
overall analysis has shown that biodiesel produced from soybean oil has the
potentials as alternative fuel in conventional compression-ignition engines
without any modifications to the engines.
