| description | This work aimed at investigating blends of Khaya senegalensis biodiesel in a compression ignition engine, attempting to improve engine performance and reduce CO2 emission compared with conventional diesel. Analysis of System (ANSYS) was used to predict in-cylinder behavior of the fuel. ANSYS SpaceClaim generated the geometric model on which 5° sector and mesh refinement was on ANSYS Internal Combustion Engine Modeler (ICEM). Computational domain of interest lies within the compression and expansion strokes. Experimental validation followed: 5% biodiesel, 95% diesel (B5); 15% biodiesel, 85% diesel (B15); 25% biodiesel, 75% diesel (B25); pure diesel (D100); pure biodiesel (B100) in volume proportions. B15 has the highest brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) of 4 bar as load increases. An experimental and numerical comparison reveals pressure declination against speed increment. Ignition temperature fluctuated between 799.76 and 806.256 K for D100 and 760.73–790.62 K for B100 within 1800–2800 rpm speed limit prediction. Power and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) had parallel load increment with all blends. CO2 emission on increasing load conditions were 47.01%, 8.07%, 21.72% and 6.06% for B5, B15, B25, and B100 respectively lower than D100. Pressure and temperature contours gave proper combustion predicted behaviors. All blends possess replaceable performance potential for D100 however, B5 offers better reliable potentials. |
