Investigation on engine performance and exhaust emissions of tea oil biodiesel, euro diesel and bioethanol blends under different fuel pressures

ABSTRACT
This research delves into a comprehensive exploration of the effects of tea oil biodiesel, Eurodiesel, and bioethanol blends on the motor performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine. The study specifically focuses on the dynamic interplay between different fuel compositions, examining the combinations of tea oil biodiesel with Euro diesel and bioethanol, while varying injector pressures in a diesel engine. The primary objective is to elucidate the multifaceted influence of these fuel mixtures on engine performance and emission characteristics. Through an extensive series of experiments and detailed analyses, this research unveils critical insights into the complex relationships between fuel types, injector pressures, and motor performance. The investigation not only aims to discern the immediate effects on combustion processes but also seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable and environmentally conscious energy solutions for diesel engines. The findings of this study hold significance for both academia and industry, offering a nuanced understanding of alternative fuel utilization and its implications on engine dynamics. Ultimately, the research aims to pave the way for advancements in cleaner and more efficient energy sources, fostering a greener and more sustainable future for diesel engine technology.
