Abstract
Biodiesel is a possible substitute to traditional diesel fuel produced from renewable resources, like non-edible vegetable oils. An increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms, and reduction of oil resources led to finding alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. In this paper, we study the performance and emission characteristics of CI engine fueled with Mahua oil Blended in the blending ratio B10, B20, B30, B10+5DEE, B20+5DEE, B30+5DEE, B10+5KER, B20+5KER, B30+5KER. The experiment was carried out in a four-stroke, single cylinder diesel engine by varying the load from 4kg to 16 kg. The result shows that the addition of Mahua oil increases the Brake thermal efficiency with a reduction in specific fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature.
