Investigation of Effect of Chicken Biodiesel Blended Diesel on Engine Performance

Now a day’s fossil fuels usage has become more, hence the fossil fuels are getting depleted day by day. So in order to overcome this problem we have to go for alternative fuels. Rendered animal fats and restaurant waste oils are appealing feedstock toproduce biodiesel. The price of virgin vegetable oil is about two times more than that of animal fat, but drawbacks of using animalfat as a raw material for biodiesel production is its physical properties which could be eliminated by adding necessary amount ofalcohol, catalyst for a required period of time. Extracted fat is heated to produce chicken biodiesel. Trans esterification of chickenfat is done. KOH is used as catalyst and methanol will increase the reaction. The blending process was carried out with appropriate volume of diesel and chicken biodiesel and kept for 24 hours to observe the formation of layer. The fuel propertieslike flash point, fire point, calorific value, viscosity are found. Test is carried out on single cylinder four stroke engines withdifferent composition like 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of chicken biodiesel blend with diesel. The fuel properties like flash point, firepoint, calorific value, viscosity are found for chicken biodiesel and for different blend compositions. Variation of brake power,calorific value, kinematic viscosity and density for different blends and specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency forconstant loads are shown with the help of graphs. The biodiesel with 20% blend gives higher value of brake power and brakethermal efficiency compare to diesel and other blends. Result shows chicken biodiesel is an effective biofuel for future
