| Abstract: | Five non-edible vegetable oils (nerium, jatropha, pongamia,
mahua & neem) were selected as alternate fuels and comparison
analysis of performance and emission were done. A comparative
analysis was done for methyl esters of different oils in blends
with diesel of different proportions. It was observed that a
diesel engine runs successfully on a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80%
diesel fuel without affecting engine performance. Methyl ester
from Nerium oil, with properties close to diesel, showed better
performance and emission characteristics, followed by esters
of jatropha, Pongamia, Mahua and Neem oils. Hence Nerium blend
can be used in existing diesel engines without compromising
the engine performance. |
