Abstract This study considers the effect of Eichhornia Crassipes Biodiesel (ECB) blends on the performances, combustion, and emission characteristics of a direct injection compression ignition engine operated in a dual-fuel mode (DFM) and equipped with an Exhaust gas recirculation technique (EGR). In particular, a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engine was utilized and four modes of fuel operation were considered: mode I, the engine operated with an ordinary diesel fuel; mode II, the engine operated with the addition of 2.4 L/min of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and 20% EGR; mode III, 20% ECB with 2.4 L/min LPG… More >
