Experimental investigation of the orange peel oil and cotton seed oil blend with petrol as an alternate fuel for petrol engines

Abstract

Petrol Engines are widely used for different applications like Transportation, Agriculture etc., Despite its advantage the environmental pollution caused by Petrol Engines become a major concern throughout the world. Usage of fossil fuels like Petrol is polluting the environment due to the emission of Carbonbased gases like carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide and Hydro carbons and dust which proves harmful to all the living beings. Environmental pollution can be reduced when petrol is blend with some other oil. Several alternate fuels are under study to find a right alternative for petrol either partially or absolutely. Oil extracted from orange peel and cotton seed can be blend with petrol in petrol Engines without any modifications of the engine. By Trans-Esterification method cotton seed oil and orange peel oil is obtained. The experiment is to be conduct when the Engine is fuelled with orange peel oil and cotton seed oil in various proportions like 5%, 10%,15% and 20% by its volume and allow it to blend to occur various emission characteristics of Petrol Engine at different load conditions.
