Overview

Sweet Lime Peel Oil (SLPO) has been increasingly studied as a renewable and sustainable alternative fuel for direct injection diesel engines. The Fuel Characterization of SLPO is an important step towards assessing its potential as a feasible biofuel. In this context, the author G.Logesh has conducted a comprehensive study on the characterization of SLPO as fuel for diesel engines. The study involves the evaluation of several fuel properties, including flash point, fire point, calorific value, viscosity, density, sulfur content, ash content, moisture content, oxidation stability, cetane number, acid number, total acid number, carbon residue, pour point, and cloud point. The fuel properties were determined through various experimental techniques such as distillation, gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The study revealed that SLPO has a high calorific value and comparable fuel properties to conventional diesel fuels. The chemical composition of SLPO was also analyzed, with a focus on the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content and transesterification process for biodiesel production. The results showed that SLPO has potential as a feedstock for biodiesel production. Moreover, the study also assessed the combustion characteristics and engine performance of SLPO as a fuel for direct injection diesel engines. The results showed that SLPO could be used as an alternative fuel without significant modifications to the engine. The emissions and greenhouse gas emissions were also evaluated, indicating that SLPO has the potential to reduce air pollution and contribute to environmental sustainability. In summary, the study conducted by G.Logesh provides valuable insights into the characterization of Sweet Lime Peel Oil as a potential alternative fuel for direct injection diesel engines. The findings suggest that SLPO has potential as a renewable and sustainable biofuel, which could contribute to energy security and reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation sector.
