Performance of Diesel Engine Using Jatropha and Karanja Biodiesel
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel of diesel, is described as fatty acid methyl ester from vegetable oils or animal fats. The main objectives of the present work is to reduce higher viscosity of Pongamia Pinnata (Karanja), Jatropha curcas(Jatropha) oil using Esterification followed by Transesterification and to assess the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine. Engine parameters such as brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency were calculated .Performance tests were conducted on a multi cylinder diesel engine. From the test results it has been established that blends of Jatropha and Karanja on preheating gives same or better results as that Diesel on same engine.
