Effect of Blending Ratio on the Injection Rate Characteristics of Biodiesel Fuel in a CI Engine
Injection rate characteristics of biodesel fuels according to the blending ratio was described in this work. The injection rate measuring system based on the Bosch's method was utilized to measure and compare the fuel injection rate characteristics. Three different types of biodiesel which were derived from seed, unpolished-rice, and soybean were blended with the diesel fuel in 20% and 40% of volumetric ratio. The fuel properties, injection mass, and injection rate characteristics were obtained and compared in various injection conditions. It is expected that this observations provide important insights into the effect of fuel properties on the biodiesel fuel injection rate performance in a CI engine
