Abstract
Backgrounds/Objective: To investigate the combustion performance and emissions characteristics of blends of Palash biodiesel on VCR diesel. Method/statistical Analysis: Blends of palash biodiesel and diesel as a fuel was used in VCR diesel engine at different loads. The variations on the performance parameters like Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), emissions parameters like Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydro Carbon (HC), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and combustion parameters like heat release rate (HRR) and cylinder pressure are analyzed and compared with that of diesel. Finding: The results revealed that engine performance was better for B20 blend of palash biodiesel. BSFC decreased and BTE has increased when compared to that of diesel. HC and CO emissions have found decreased with blends of palash biodiesel and NOx emission has increased as compared with that of diesel. Improvement: By the use of biodiesel engine exhaust emissions can be reduced. Keywords: Blends of Palash biodiesel, Diesel, Engine Performance, Exhaust Emission and Combustion Performance, VCR Engine

Summary
Fossil fuels (petrol and diesel etc.) used in IC engine release harmful gases, impacting environment and health. In1 studied that emissions decreased at different loads for both the blends compared with diesel fuel while NOx exhaust is seen to be higher. In6 showed the effect of Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) on an engine controlled with waste cooking oil produced biodiesel and diesel. From this outcomes affirmed that VCR are 14 to 18 achieved, 18.39%, 27.48%, 18.5%, and 19.82% increments in BTE if there ought to emerge an experiment of biodiesel blends. BTE and BSFC were increasing with an increasing CR of Waste Fried Oil Methyl Ester (WFOME) blends In this experimental investigation, the performance and emission characteristics of blends of palash biodiesel are analyzed on diesel engine at different loads and at constant speed
