Environment pollution, increasing fuel prices and its demand have promoted an interest in development of alternative fuel for petroleum products. Biofuel is preferred as an alternative fuel for IC engines due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. It is renewable, biodegradable, oxygenated, sulfur free and reduces their adverse effects on climate change. In the present study, we have introduced a new type of biofuel, pine oil for the purpose of fuelling in diesel engine. Significantly, pine oil is unique in that the feedstock originates from forest Notably, the viscosity, boiling point and flash point of pine oil were observed to be lower than diesel, qualifying as a suitable alternate fuel under less viscous biofuel category. When compared to less viscous alcohols as well as high viscous biodiesel, pine oil has comparable calorific value with diesel, which forms the profound advantage and distinction of the proposed fuel herein. Having ensured that pine oil is conducive for its use in a diesel engine, it was experimentally investigated in a diesel engine in different modes viz. blend, dual fuel modes. In the present study the performance and emission characteristics of a single-cylinder, constant speed, DI diesel engine using pine biofuel blends (P10, P20, and P30) as partially substituted fuel were studied. The results are compared with standard diesel fuel. The test results indicate that there is a slight decrease in brake thermal efficiency and an increase in brake specific fuel consumption for all pine blended fuels when compared to diesel fuel. The tested blends resulted in lower emissions of CO, HC, NOX and CO2. The experimental results prove that the use of pine oil blends in the compression ignition engine is a viable alternative to diesel.
