In the dual fuel mode of operation, the energy share of the biogas is an important parameter for investigating the premixed lean combustion phase. To facilitate generate a definite amount of power, both the primary fuel (biogas) and pilot fuel (diesel) supply energy. During combustion, the utilization of the primary fuel stays constant with the change in the load while the pilot fuel consumption. The energy share by a primary fuel mainly depends on its calorific value, rate of combustion, and quantity of fuel consumption [31]. The energy share in the dual fuel mode is defined as the ratio of energy supplied by the pilot fuel, to the sum of the energy supplied by the pilot fuel and the primary fuel. The biogas energy share is calculated by Equation (1). …………………… (1) Where, ………………………………….. (2) …………………………………. (3)…show more content…
The energy shares of diesel and biogas at the biogas induction rate of 0.75 kg/h are given in Table 2. The energy share of biogas was found low at maximum load in the dual fuel operation mode. This is endorsed to a maximum energy release from diesel fuel at high load. Since, in the dual fuel operation, the amount of biogas introduced through the intake manifold was maintained constant at 0.75 kg/h throughout the load range, while the diesel fuel consumption was varied with load, to kept speed of the engine. The properties of Azolla and corn husk biogas extracted through digester are tabulated in Table 1. The energy sharing of Diesel, Azolla and corn husk biogas are tabulated in Table
