EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON SEMI-ADIABATIC DIESEL ENGINE USING WATER EMULSIFIED DIESEL AS FUEL

The demand for petroleum products in India has been increasing at a very rapid rate. Amongst various options investigated for diesel fuel, biodiesel is one such initiative which is projected as an alternative to diesel fuel. The methyl ester of water emulsified diesel oil is one such an alternative fuel which can be used as substitute to conventional petro- diesel. The present work involves experimental investigation on the use of water emulsified diesel as fuel in conventional diesel engine and semi-adiabatic diesel engine. The project aims at conducting analysis of diesel with water emulsified diesel blends (10%, 20%, 30%) in conventional engine and semi-adiabatic engine. The engine was made semi adiabatic by coating the piston crown with nickel chromium coating.
