EFFECT OF JP-8 AND ANIMAL FAT METHYL ESTER BLENDS ON DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST EMISSIONS

Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that are fulfilling important functions and powered by fossil origin diesel and biodiesel. Since fossil-based fuels have finite reserve, and they are quickly consumed today and will be exhausted in the near future, and combustion of the fuel releasing significantly pollution components into the atmosphere have accelerated scientific studies on alternative fuels. In this study, animal fat methyl ester (AFME) and JP-8 fuel were blended and the exhaust emissions were investigated. Experiments held in a single cylinder, air cooled, direct injection diesel engine. With the test depending on the engine speed increases, exhaust emissions have been determined and the results obtained are compared with the values of diesel fuel. Accordingly, JP-8 and biodiesel fuel blends were determined at lower CO and HC emissions compared to D2 fuel. It has been concluded that test fuel can be used in diesel engines with success without any modifications on engine construction.
