Abstract

The increasing industrialization of the world has led the demand of petroleum based fuels. fossile fuels are obtained from limited reserves. These finite reserves are highly concentrated in certain regions of the world. Therefore, those countries not having these resources are facing energy/foreign exchange crisis, mainly due to the import of crude petroleum. Hence, it is necessary to look for alternative fuels which can be produced from resources available locally within the country such as alcohol, biodiesel, vegetable oils etc. This work focus on the production, characterization of bio-diesel and it can be aided with the oxy-hydrogen gas which can be produced by the electrolysis process from the water. This oxy-hydrogen gas has been pre heated with the help of waste heat recovered from the automobile exhaust. The use of water powered biodiesel in conventional engines result in substantial reduction in emission of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate. Also this pre heating of the air improves the thermal efficiency and reduce the vibration of the engine.

Abstract

Due to improving urbanization there is the need of an alternative fuel to face the fuel demand in the world for the present scenario. Some of the alternative fuels such as Bio-diesel, Solar energy, nuclear energy are playing vital role in the alternative energy resources. In addition to these water is also one of the renewable energy resources having two molecules of Hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen which can be separated by the Electrolysis process. This Oxy-Hydrogen gas has been used as a fuel for S.I engines [1]. The aim of using this Oxy-Hydrogen gas is to avoid the formation of hazardous compounds due to burning of fossil fuels in S.I engines. The exhaust of Oxy-Hydrogen gas contains water vapour and Oxygen which is Eco friendly. Also provides ischolar_main cause to avoid the formation of green house effect. This method of implementing ecofriendly gases as a fuel leads to reduce the earth from danger and helps to prevent the future generation.
