Abstract
The fatty acids methyl esters derived from bio-based materials are commonly being used as the alternative fuels after some improvements through chemical treatments. In spite of extracting from renewable sources, this bio-fuels offer competitive physical and chemical properties when blended with conventional diesel fuel at different ratios. The aim of this research work is to investigate the physiochemical properties and engine operations with cotton seed methyl ester (COME) and neem oil methyl ester (NME)blend with diesel fuel. COME and NME derived by following the optimum extraction conditions through the well-defined transesterification process. The COME and NME at different proportions were blended with diesel and analysed their performance in a single cylinder direct ignition (DI) diesel engine in connection to the diesel fuel. The feasibility analysis for the due application of the COME and NME biodiesel blends were done after considering their characteristics and performance in connection to the diesel fuel. Highlight Production of biodiesel from cotton seed and neem seed. Evaluation of physiological and chemical properties of COME and NME. FTIR analysis and comparison of COME and NME with the traditional diesel fuel at different composition. Operating a direct injection diesel engine with the COME and NME.
