Performance and emission characteristics of preheated and blended thumba vegetable oil in a compression ignition engine
Applied Thermal Engineering(2017)
Abstract
•Thumba straight vegetable oil is used as a fuel in CI engine.•Engine waste heat is used to reduce the viscosity of thumba oil.•Preheating improves thermal efficiency by 1.27% (24.66–25.93%).•Preheating reduces emissions significantly as compared to unheated thumba.•Drastically reduction in emissions as compared to diesel also.
