Abstract :
Calculation and evaluation of the effects of biodiesel fuel on performance indicators of a tractor engine Rasoul Loghmanpour zarini1 1-Phd,Agricultural College of Sari, Technical and Vocational University, Mazandaran, Iran Received: 20 May 2018 Accept:20 July 2018 Abstract Replacing biodiesel instead of a fossil fuels reduces emissions and thus reduces the phenomenon of global warming. In the present study, in order to measure the functional characteristics of the diesel engine due to the mixing of the common fuel gasoline in Iran and the biodiesel fuel of the methyl ester of waste oil, various combinations of fuel with volume percentages B80, B60, B40, B20, B0 were prepared. Then, by applying different loads in a steady 1340 rpm range, the engine of the Ferguson 240 copper tractor was measured using an electric dynamometer of motor performance indicators. Exhaust emission temperature, thermal efficiency and air to fuel ratio to the B40 fuel blend and reduce the B40 fuel mixture by increasing the biodiesel fuel percentage. The ratio of air to fuel in the mixture of fuel B40 is higher than other fuel mixtures and the process of changing the air to fuel ratio is identical in all dynamometer loads. Particular fuel consumption and fuel consumption tune up to the B40 blend of fuel and increase the B40 fuel mix, due to the fact that the B40 fuel mixture has the lowest fuel consumption and specific fuel consumption. The use of this mixture is recommended as a superior fuel mix in terms of fuel economy in fixed-cycle diesel engines. Keywords: Biodiesel, Diesel, Engine Power, Fuel Consumption, Biofuel
