The purpose of this study is to figure out the engine performance of corn oil as a diesel engine fuels.
corn oil-diesel fuel mixtures in 3 type proportions were tested in a single cylinder diesel test engine.
The automatic and successive data for engine performance obtained by microcomputer-measuring system.
The results of experiment summarized as follows
1. The viscosity reduction ratio of corn oil was approximately 80% when the temperature raised from 10℃ to 60℃.
2. The maximum torque and maximum power out were decreased with increasing of the amount of corn oil in the mixture, it was considered of the lower specific heat value of corn oil comparative to diesel fuel.
3. In view of fuel consumption and thermal efficiency tested engine with corn oil-diesel fuel blends showed better performance at heavy loads and at high speeds.
