Abstract

Abstract: For use as a renewable fuel in diesel engines, the current experimental study investigates the extensive potential of a unique biodiesel in the form of tamarind seed oil. Given its widespread availability at almost no cost, improved sustainability, and environmental friendliness, it is a desirable candidate for widespread use in diesel engines in a nation like India. Through the transesterification process, tamarind seed yields Tamarind Seed Methyl Ester (TSME), and Jojoba Seed Methyl Ester an effective potential fuel. Tamarind Seed Methyl Ester and Jojoba Seed Methyl Ester with diesel fuel are mixed in volumetric proportions to create different biodiesel blends like TJME 10, TJME 20, TJME 30, TJME 40 and TJME 50. Experimental evaluation and comparisons between the physio-chemical characteristics of tamarind and Jojoba seed methyl ester blends, and diesel fuel were conducted.
