Abstract : Because of its environmental benefits, biodiesel made from pongamia oil has been viewed as a possible alternative for diesel engines. Reducing exhaust pollutants and dependency on traditional petroleum fuels are two of the biggest issues facing compression ignition (CI) engines these days. Even so, the present engine pollution reduction technologies are almost at the legal limitations, and those restrictions are anticipated to get stricter soon. At low load, the maximum value of net heat release (NHR) and the peak of mean gas temperature (MGT) in cylinder were observed to be 13.4 j/deg and 541.03 oC by the addition of 10% BKO with substitution of 7% hydrogen as a secondary fuel. However, at high load, the maximum value of net heat release (NHR) and the peak of mean gas temperature (MGT) in cylinder were observed to be 12.83 j/deg and 600.29 oC by the addition of 5% DTBP with substitution of 25% hydrogen as a secondary fuel.

Keywords : Diesel, Pongamia Biodiesel, Di-Tert Butyl Peroxide, Hydrogen Fuel, Combustion.
