Investigation of Performance Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fueled with B5 Diesel

Abstract

A Yanmar 1-cylinder diesel engine was used to investigate the performance of the diesel engine. Standard experimental protocols were followed. Engine fuel consumption, brake fuel consumption, brake power, and torque were all measured with B5 diesel fuel. At varying engine speeds, different engine loads were established. As the engine speed is raised from 1400 to 1700 RPM under constant loads of 2, 4, and 6 kW, there will be a reduction in brake-specific fuel consumption alongside an increase in fuel usage, brake power, and torque. At a constant engine speed of 1400, 1500, 1600, and 1700 RPM, a rise in engine load from 2 kW to 6 kW will lead to higher fuel consumption, braking power, and torque while still resulting in lower brake-specific fuel consumption.
