Özet

This study explores emissions regulation of a 3.5 kW single cylinder, direct injection, diesel engine fuelled with biogas and Mahua biodiesel. By varying the compression ratio from 17 to 18 with a step of 0.5, pilot fuel injection timing by 3° BTDC from 23° BTDC to 32° BTDC, and engine load from 20% to 100% with a step of 20%, the optimal operating conditions are determined using response surface methodology. At the optimum engine operating parameter settings of a 17.73 compression ratio, 26.71° BTDC pilot fuel injection timing, and 58.96% engine load, the optimum emissions are 42.89 ppm for NOx, 80.36 ppm for UHC, 4.23% Vol. for CO2, and 77.72 ppm for CO. Additionally, the study demonstrates a comparable brake thermal efficiency of 17.35% with 66.26% pilot fuel substitution, indicating biogas-biodiesel as a sustainable and renewable option for dual-fuel CI compression-ignition engines.
