Abstract
Increasing demand for fossil fuels due to the luxurious lifestyle, significant growth of population, transportation and the basic industry sectors are causing serious environmental problems. Moreover, a rapid decline in the fossil fuels has led scientists and researchers to look for new alternatives. In this regard, alternative fuels such as biofuels are becoming important increasingly due to environmental and energy concerns. Biofuels are commonly referred to as first generations, which are produced primarily from food crops. However, the use of edible oil to produce biodiesel in many countries is not feasible in view of a big gap in the demand and supply of such oils for dietary consumption. This paper is concerned about the extraction and usage of two biofuel and its blends on a Kirloskar TV-1, single cylinder, four-stroke, water cooled DI diesel engine with a displacement of 661cc. The rated power of the engine is 5.2 kW at 1500 rpm with constant speed. The fuels are extracted from Thurayi (Delonix Regia) and Cuban Royal Palm (Roystonea Regia) seeds which are nonedible. Then prepared their methyl esters through transesterification process to produce biodiesel. Different blends with diesel are also considered and the combustion and emission performance is analysed.
