Study on the performance and emissions of diesel engine by fish methyl ester and DEE additive in a diesel engine fuel

In this article the experimental research was performed to find the effects of Fish Methyl Ester (FME) blend and Di-Ethyl Ether (DEE) blends in a Diesel fuel. The preference of these FME and DEE additive were taken into the deliberation to reduce the level of the emission and increasing the engine performance. The research was carried out on a 4 S computerized single cylinder diesel engine with standard constant variables. For different fuels, the experiments were conducted at different brake powers. For each load the performance and emissions data were recorded. The output of the engine performance and emissions were analyzed. As compared to the other fuels and baseline fuel, the performance of the engine was observed to be improved for the FME20 + DEE10% fuel. It was also noticed that, from the results of emissions such as HC, CO and smoke opacity were reduce with mixture of DEE additive and FME20 blend. But the NOx has increased with addition of DEE additive. According to the results, it is suggested to use FME20 + DEE10% mixed fuel in diesel engines to improve performance and reduce emissions.
