Abstract: The present concern on energy demands, leads to a growing interest on alternative fuels like biodiesel, alcohol, biogas, hydrogen and producer gas. To provide a sustainable solution, conventional engines suitably modified and experimented for favorable results. In this context the present work deals with a newer approach of performance optimization of CI engine using biodiesel and hydrogen with Diethyl ether (DEE) injection. Biodiesel from pongamia pinnata and hydrogen are used as fuel and DEE is used as an ignition improver. To optimize the engine performance following parameters are considered injection timing of DEE and crank angle position. With the help of taguchi technique L25 orthogonal array is used to have various combinations of parameters. Experiments has been conducted for 12 lpm of hydrogen at constant flow rate. The DEE is injected at 44°, 88°, 132°, 176°, and 220° of crank angle position with help of electronic control unit. Compared to diesel the biodiesel hydrogen blend, operation with ignition improver at 3 ms of DEE and 132° of crank angle position, brake thermal efficiency is increased with considerable reduction in emission.
