| Abstract: | This study presents utilizing hybrid vegetable oil from
Pongamia pinnata and Madhuca indica as an alternative diesel fuel. Raw pongamia
oil and mahua oil were mixed (50:50) for preparing hybrid vegetable oil (HVO).
A 20% blend of methyl ester of pongamia oil (MEOP), 20% blend of methyl ester
of mahua oil (MEOM) and 20% blend of methyl ester of hybrid vegetable oil
(MEHVO) with 80% of neat diesel were used as a fuel in diesel engine. A 20%
blend of MEHVO with 80% of diesel gave competitive performance nearing diesel.
In MEHVO blend, HC, CO is reduced, however CO2 and NOx
emission is slightly increased when compared to pure diesel. |
