Abstract

Biofuel has proven to be a valuable replacement fuel and is poised to become a major source of renewable energy in the future. Engine performance and emission characteristics of waste cooking oil and waste transformer oil methyl ester blended with diesel carried out on single cylinder water cooled direct injection CI engine. A Novel heterogeneous catalysis of trans-esterification using coconut shell activated carbon was used to produce biodiesel form waste cooking oil and waste transformer oil and methanol. For the experimental work Biodiesel blend is prepared in the ratio of (B20 + D80) and (B40 + D60) for both WCO & WTO oil biodiesel. The results recorded that B20 blending with diesel for both WCO and WTO shows increased BTE, BSFE, lower in CO,CO2 and HC and increases NOx emission. The results revealed that B20 WCO shows highest BTE.
