Abstract:
This study presents experimental investigation of combustion of diesel fuel, kerosene and their blends. The objective of this study is to determine the combustion performance and gas emission of diesel fuel, kerosene and various mixtures of diesel fuel and kerosene in a horizontally positioned cylindrical furnace. Heat was removed from the system by the use of water around a jacket of the combustion unit. The combustion unit is capable of burning most types of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon fuels. Results on combustion performance and gas emissions are presented for a wide range of air-fuel equivalence ratios. The results of exhaust gas analyses of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen are presented. Combustion efficiency and the effect of blending of fuels on its performance are also presented. In general, some improvements in exhaust gas emission and combustion efficiency were obtained upon using mixtures of fuels. The best results were obtained when a fuel blend of 75% kerosene and 25% diesel was prepared and burned in the unit.

Key words:  Combustion, diesel fuel, fuel blends, kerosene, , ,
