Analysis of The Engine Performance, Emissions, Energy Parameters & Combustion Behaviors of a Compression Ignition Engine Fueled with Biodiesel

In this study Analysis of the engine performance, emissions, energy parameters & combustion behaviors of a compression ignition engine fueled with biodiesel is done. Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, waste cooking oils, and algae oils which are mixed with alcohol and catalyst. Biodiesel production is an alternative fuel to diesel engine. Cooking oil are reused many times and these cooking oils is thrown away which can even pollute the environment. So, if this oil is converted into biofuels, they are sustainable alternative to fossil fuels because they are renewable and less harm full to the environment. Biodiesel blends are used and is compared with reference diesel to compare the different parameters. These blends are mixed with the reference diesel for example 30% of waste cooking oil is mixed with 70% of reference diesel [1]. 4-cylinder, 4 stroke direct injection diesel engine was used for the comparison of these blends with reference diesel. And engine performance is obtained. The engine was loaded with different load condition and an eddy current dynamometer was attached to it
