An Experimental Study on Diesel Engine Performances Using Biodiesel from Used Frying Oil

Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

 Abstract: The paper contains study of diesel engine performance using bio-diesel from waste frying oil. Biodiesel is produced from used frying oil which is obtained from local restaurant and hotels by transesterification process. In the present study neat biodiesel as well as blends of varying proportions of bio-diesel and diesel were used to run C.I. engine. It is found that viscosity of bio-diesel was more which affects the performance of diesel engine. Expectable thermal efficiencies and specific fuel consumption (SFC) were achieved with blends without any operational difficulties. In the present work performance of diesel engine using varying blends of biodiesel like B20, B60 and B100 i.e. neat biodiesel is tested.
