A"STRA#T :This paper describes about the project work carried out to develop a CFD simulation model to investigate the effect of the use of diesel-biodiesel duel fuel in a variable compression ratio(i.e. !" #" $% diesel engine. Commercial CFD software is used in this project to stud& the effect of compression ration on the performance of diesel-biodiesel engine. 'n the present stud& investigation is aimed at stud&ing the effect of compression ratio on the (rake thermal efficienc&" (rake specific fuel combustion" (rake power use as pure diesel.

INTRODUCTION As the world finds itself in the midst of universal energy shortage, compounded by a parallel need to reduce pollutants of all kinds, we must take an increasingly serious look at novel sources of abundant energy and methods for their best utilization. The depleting resources of fuel in the world today as well as the understanding of the need of the world environment requires the search for other types of fuel sources that may be renewed if possible.[1 !" #iodiesel could be an e$cellent renewable fuel for diesel engine. %t is derived from vegetable oils that are chemically converted into biodiesel. As the name implies, it is similar to diesel fuel e$cept that it is produced from crops like &atropha, 'ongamia, (oybean, )ottonseed. These crops are all capable of producing several gallons of fuel per acre that can power an unmodified diesel engine. *egetable oil is converted into biodiesel through a chemical process that produces methyl or ethyl ester[+ ,". 2. CFD SIMULATION( -ne of the most prominent turbulence models, the k . /k epsilon0 model, has been implemented in most general purpose )12 codes and is considered the industry standard model. %t has proven to be stable and numerically robust and has a well established regime of predictive capability. 1or general purpose simulation, the model offers a good compromise in term of accuracy and robustness. 3ithin A4(5( )16, the k . turbulence uses the scalable wall function approach to improve robustness and accuracy when the near wall mesh is very fine. The scalable wall functions allow simulation on arbitrarily fine near wall grids, which is a significant improvement over standard wall functions. 3hile standard two equation models provide good predictions for many flow of engineering interest k is the turbulence kinetic energy and is defined as the variance of the fluctuations in velocity. . is the turbulence eddy dissipation /the rate at which the velocity fluctuations dissipate0 and has dimensions of per unit time. The k . model introduces two new variables into the system of equations. The k . model introduces two new variables into the system of equations.
