Abstract

This study deals with the effect of injection pressure on thermal efficiency and BSFC of 4-stroke diesel engine.
The engine was fueled with NOME biogas having operated with constant engine speed of 1500 RPM, injection
pressure of 180 bar, 200 bar, and 220 bar and injection angle of 23º with varying electrical loads. Performance
characteristics like brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, and emission characteristics like CO,
NOX, have been investigated. From the results it is observed that 200 bar injection pressure yields better
performance and improved emission characteristics, for all the fuel blends.
