Abstract
This paper presents an experimental analysis of the variation in fuel consumption of a single-cylinder mechanical injection diesel engine system, coupled with a centrifugal pump in a closed system. Engine tests with pure diesel (B0) are presented; the results for this fuel formulation are used as reference in comparison to fuels containing only biodiesel and mixtures of diesel and biodiesel in different proportions. The mixtures used, described by biodiesel content, are: 8% (B8); 10% (B10); 20% biodiesel (B20) and pure biodiesel (B100). The biodiesels come from soybean oil and are manufactured using the methyl and ethyl processes. Two distinct tests are performed: in the first, the accelerator position is kept constant; in the second, the engine’s rotation is kept constant. In the test where the accelerator position is kept constant, exit pressures are recorded for each regulation of the accelerator and fuel mixture.
