- Abstract
The contraction of fossil fuels increasing demand for petroleum fuels precipitate extensive research on substitute sources of energy for internal combustion enginesin terms of energy efficiency, the increase in fuel costs and severe emission standards have quite a substantial impact on the economic prosperity of a nation like India, leading experts to look for innovative substitute for diesel fuel. The research presented here focuses on the impact of additives such dimethyl carbonate to 2%, 6%, and 8% Calotropis Root oil and methyl carbonate (CRDC20) biodiesel mix of varied percentages (20% and 2% on volume basis to study engine characteristics. The test findings showed that the braking thermal efficiency of CRDC20 with 6% dimethyl carbonate added is significantly improved and is 5.36% greater than the mix of biodiesel and Calotropis Root oil. Similarly, when compared to diesel fuel at full load, CRDC20 has demonstrated considerable reductions in hazardous engine passage emissions such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen, and smoke opacity, which are observed to be roughly 12.36%, 25.33%, 12.63%, and 27.72% correspondingly. Additionally, findings are contrasted with experimental values obtained under identical operating circumstances.
