Abstract :
A four strokes single cylinder directs injection water cooled, diesel engine was used to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of the engine when fueled by Diesel-Ethanol- Jatropha blend. The brake power , brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and concentration of exhaust gas emissions (carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides) were conducted at speeds ranging from 1200 to -2000 rpm at zero and 80% load of the engine. A pure diesel and four blends (B20D80, B25E5D70, B30E5D65 and B40E5D55) were tested. The results showed that the brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and the nitrogen oxides increased with the rise of Jatropha-Ethanol percentage while the carbon monoxide decreased. This study recommends that further investigations of the blend ratios are required for the same engine by increasing ethanol percentage, which reduced the viscosity of the blend.
