A STUDY DIFFERENT BIODIESEL ON ENGINE PROPERTIES,PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION

Abstract

Energy is an essential and vital input for economic activity. Building a strong base of energy resources is a pre-requisite for the sustainable economic and social development of a country. Indiscriminate extraction and increased consumption of fossil fuels have led to the reduction in underground-based carbon resources and release harmful emissions which is the main reason for global warming and ozone layer depletion. Biomass derived vegetable oils are quite promising alternative fuels for agricultural diesel engines. Use of biodiesel in diesel engines leads to slightly inferior performance and higher smoke emissions due to their high viscosity.
