Executive Summary : | The research proposal aims to use biogas and biodiesel produced from human feces wastes and waste cooking oil in advanced diesel combustion mode to reduce environmental pollution, generate power from waste, and decrease dependence on fossil fuels. The dual-fuel technique called Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) is proposed to enhance combustion and reduce exhaust emissions of gaseous biofuels in diesel power generators. The large population in our country generates massive human feces and cooking oil wastes, which contribute to pollution by releasing toxic pollutants like CO, H?, and CH?. Biodiesel is an alternative to diesel but may result in higher NOx and lower efficiency. The proposed work proposes using human feces biogas as a secondary/low reactive fuel and waste cooking oil biodiesel as a primary/high reactive fuel for diesel engines under the RCCI strategy. The experiments will be conducted in a modified single-cylinder diesel engine, equipped with a flexible, schedule-based common rail injection system and a low-pressure port fuel injector in the intake manifold. The flexible low-temperature combustion engine test facility will be used for recording and analyzing combustion and exhaust emission data. After experimentation, engine operating characteristics in RCCI will be analyzed to identify the best operating conditions for higher efficiency and lower emissions. Multi-parameter optimization analysis will be used to reduce experimental runs. The study is adapted for largely populated areas like apartments and hostels, and the effective utilization of CH? and CO? from feces can reduce global warming and dependence on fossil-based power. |
