Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine how well a single-cylinder, four-stroke (SCFS) dieselengine performs when combining Mahua oil methyl ester (MOME) with diesel. Utilizing B20 (a 4:1 ratioof diesel to MOME by volume), the analysis of energy, energy, and emissions was performed. Accordingto research, diesel produced 5.99% and 10.87% more fuel energy intake and energy that was forciblyevacuated by exhaust gases than B20. The unanticipated losses in the diesel scenario were 9.25% higherthan in the B20 scenario. Although the energy efficiency for diesel was 27.22%, the overall losses were71.95%. B20’s efficiency was 64.47% more than that of diesel. Diesel oil is 1.33% more readily availableas an input than B20, according to the exergy research. Comparing diesel to B20, the former had 5.33times more exhaust pollutants and 31.12% less braking power availability. Diesel’s destruction rate is0.96% lower than B20’s. In terms of energy, energy expenditure, and emissions, B20 is found to be quitecomparable to diesel.
