A REVIEW ON EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF VCR IN CI ENGINE USING ANNONA SQUAMOSA BASED BIODIESEL AS A FUEL

Abstract

India is one of the top countries with respect to the increasing population. In accordance to its increasing population there is a simultaneous increase in the demand for the non-renewable resources. In order to maintain the biological balance and satisfy the needs of the increasing population a search for the alternative energy sources is must. One such path is the production of renewable resources. Keeping in view the current need of the population the current work was aimed to produce biodegradable, biodiesel obtained for the organic waste, the spent seeds. This source can be a very good utility product as there is no special investment required and additionally it can be a source of waste clearance. Here a pure laboratory protocol has been employed to extract the vegetable oil from the different non edible seeds. Here we are using custard apple seeds for preparing biodiesel. The custard apple seed oil is characterized by the important properties of biodiesel such as density, flash point, cloud point, pour point and kinematic viscosity, ash content, carbon residue are found out and compared with that of ASTM-biodiesel standards and commercially available diesel. Diesel is the nonrenewable energy source obtained from conventional fuel which are exhaustible today or tomorrow with time. So we need inexhaustible fuel as a biodiesel in future. By producing different blends of biodiesel taking test rig on CI engine plotted graph and performance characteristics. That result shows how the custard apple biodiesel is economical and useful as compared to other sources.
