摘要
Production of methyl esters from Pithecellobiwn duke seed oil (PDSO) is carried out through transesterification process. As free fatty acid (FFA) content in PDSO is 2.12%, alkaline based potassium hydroxide (KOH) catalyst is used for yielding methyl ester from PDSO. The effect of four process variables, such as molar ratio (oil: methanol), reaction temperature, catalyst loading and reaction time on the maximum yield of Pithecellobiwn duke seed oil methyl ester (PDSOME) is studied and process optimization has been executed using response surface methodology (RSM) based Box-Behnken design (BBD). An optimized PDSOME yield of 93.24% is achieved at 1:6 molar ratio, 60 degrees C reaction temperature, 0.8 wt.% catalyst and reaction time of 90 min. The estimated fuel properties of PDSOME met with the ASTM D6751 standards. Engine tests were conducted for PDSOME, its blends (20, 40, 60 and 80 vol.%) and compared with diesel. The drop in cylinder pressure, heat release rate (HRR) and exhaust gas temperature (EGT) were observed for the PDSOME and its blends. Brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is increased and consequent reduction in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) is found for PDSOME and its blends. The exhaust emissions of CO, HC and NOx were decreased while CO2 and smoke intensity were increased with increase in PDSOME blending percentage in comparison with diesel fuel.
