Abstract

Essential oils were investigated as fuel additives in this research. Origanum Acutidens is used to make essential oil. In the oil recovery process, hydro distillation was used. With the transesterification reaction, the obtained oil was converted into biofuel. In a specific proportion, biofuel was combined with reference diesel fuel. Critical oils were studied for their effect on engine efficiency and combustion parameters. A Kirlaskor four-stroke diesel engine was used to test the mixed fuel and comparison diesel fuel. Engine tests were carried out at various loads and at a steady engine rpm. As compared to diesel fuel, the mixture fuel provided 1.63 percent more effective engine power and 1.31 Nm more engine torque. The maximum gas pressure, maximum cumulative heat dissipation, maximum average gas temperature, and maximum net heat emission rates all increased dramatically when the combustion data was analyzed. The findings revealed that the critical oil-based blended fuel enhanced the combustion event in diesel engines.
