Investigation of Performance and Emission of C.I. Engine Using Palm Oil Methyl Ester as Fuel

- In the present world it is essential to find an alternate fuel source due to the increased industrialization and depletion in natural resources. The method of obtaining biodiesel from various sources and blending them with diesel is adopted in many economically developed and developing countries around the world. The aim of this paper is to investigate the utilization of Palm oil Methyl Ester (POME) blends with diesel at various loads on CI engine. The performance and combustion characteristics of B10, B20, B30, B40 and B50 blends of palm oil with diesel at various loads on C.I. Engine are studied and study that the blends of biodiesel with diesel could be substitute in the place of pure diesel and be used as an alternate source of fuel in the near future, thus saving the natural resources for the future generation. Performance parameter like brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, brake mean effective pressure, brake power will evaluate and final conclusion will be drawn
