Öğe Comparative evaluation of the influence of waste vegetable oil and waste animal oil-based biodiesel on diesel engine performance and emissions(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Simsek, Suleyman; Uslu, SametIn this study, the effect of biodiesel obtained from animal fats (AFBD) and vegetable biodiesel (VEBD) which is obtained from canola, safflower and waste vegetable oils by transesterification method on the performance and emissions of an air cooling, four stroke, single cylinder and direct injection compression ignition engine were investigated experimentally. In the experiments, five different fuels were used as D100 (0% Biodiesel + 100% Diesel), AFBD100 (0% Diesel + 100% Animal Biodiesel), VEBD100 (0% Diesel + 100% Vegetable Biodiesel), VEBD50 (50% Diesel + 50% Vegetable Biodiesel) and AFBD50 (50% Diesel + 50% Animal Biodiesel). As a result of the experiments, it has been determined that with the use of AFBD100 and VEBD100 fuels, the brake thermal efficiency (BTHE) value decreased while the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased. When analyzed in terms of exhaust emission results, the reduction of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and smoke emissions compared to D100 was determined by the use of AFBD100 and VEBD100 fuels, while an increase in nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions occurred. When the graphs obtained from AFBD and VEBD fuels are examined, it is clearly seen that VEBD-containing fuel mixtures give better results in terms of both performance and emissions. Finally, if VEBD-containing fuels are compared within themselves, the VEBD50 is better in terms of performance, while VEBD100 has given better results in terms of emissions.Öğe Comparison of the changes in diesel engine characteristics caused by the addition of 2-EHN cetane improver according to the use of diesel and second-generation biodiesel(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Simsek, Suleyman; Uslu, Samet; Simsek, HaticeIn this experimental study, the effects of animal biodiesel (AB) and diesel mixtures in different proportions and the addition of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) at different percentages (1%, 2%, and 3%) as a fuel additive to these mixtures were investigated in terms of performance and emission characteristics.

The experiments were performed by loading the engine at 500 W intervals between 500 and 3000 W. As a result, the highest exergy efficiency was 24.86%, and obtained in D90B10 fuel at a 3000 W engine load. The lowest relative cost difference was 2.04, and obtained in D90B10 fuel at 3000 W engine load. The maximum sustainability index value was 1.98, and obtained in D90B10 fuel at a 3000 W engine load. In terms of enviroeconomics, while the cost of annual CO2 emission of all fuels is low at low engine loads, it increases as engine load increases. It is seen that D90B10 fuel is closest to D100 fuel at low engine loads. Their values are respectively 42.55 USD year(-1) and 43.22 USD year(-1).Öğe Experimental study of the performance and emissions characteristics of fusel oil/gasoline blends in spark ignited engine using response surface methodology(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Simsek, Suleyman; Uslu, SametThe principal aim of this study is to use fusel oil which is a waste product obtaining as by-product from the ethanol production processes of sugar factories as an alternative energy source to gasoline in a spark ignition (SI) engine.

The experimental fuels used were a mixture of hemp seed oil biodiesel (30% by volume) and diesel (70% by volume) mixed with titanium dioxide nanoparticles at various amounts (25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm). The addition of 100 ppm titanium dioxide increased brake thermal efficiency by 29.65% and decreased brake specific fuel consumption by 5.16%. Furthermore, the addition of titanium dioxide up to 50 ppm reduced hydrocarbon emission by 12.07%, and up to 75 ppm reduced the carbon monoxide by 40.15%. In contrast, the titanium dioxide caused an average of 27% increase in nitrogen oxide emissions. On the other hand, the optimum titanium dioxide ratio and engine load were determined as 75 ppm and 2000 W, respectively. Under these conditions, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, and smoke emissions are 27.942%, 1081.51 g/kWh, 0.057%, 40.293 ppm, 257.3742 ppm, and 0.7064%, respectively. Optimum results were achieved with an overall high desirability value of 0.7665. A good harmony among the experimental and estimated response values demonstrates the acceptability of the developed models.
