| Abstract: | On the face of the upcoming energy crisis, vegetable oils have come up as a promising source
of fuel. They are being studied widely because of their abundant availability, renewable nature and better performance when used in engines. Many vegetable oils have been investigated in compression ignition engine by fuel modification or engine modification. The vegetable oils have very high density and viscosity, so we have
used the methyl ester of the oil to overcome these
problems. Their use in form of methyl esters in non modified engines has given encouraging results.
Karanja oil (Pongamia Pinnata) is non edible in
nature is available abundantly in India. An experimental investigation was made to evaluate the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a diesel engine using different blends of methyl ester of karanja
with mineral diesel. Karanja methyl ester was blended with diesel in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 100% by mass and studied under vari... |
