Abstract

This study investigates the impact of biodiesel and antioxidants on the inlet valve of a compression ignition engine. Biodiesel, derived from sources mustard oil   is blended with diesel fuel to create biodiesel-diesel blends. Additionally, antioxidants, such as those found in clove oil, are added to the blends to improve their stability and performance. The research aims to address the environmental concerns associated with traditional fossil fuels by exploring the use of alternative fuels like biodiesel. It also seeks to enhance engine performance and durability through the addition of antioxidants, which can mitigate issues such as carbon deposit formation on engine components. Experimental methodologies involve endurance tests conducted on the compression ignition engine using different fuel blends, including pure diesel, biodiesel blends, and biodiesel blends with antioxidant additives. Analysis techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) are employed to examine deposit formations on the inlet valve after prolonged engine operation. Results indicate that biodiesel blends with antioxidants exhibit reduced deposition on the inlet valve compared to pure diesel or biodiesel blends without antioxidants.
