Abstract
Biofuel is a carbon neutral, alternate fuel to diesel for the use of compression ignition engines. Biodiesel may be made from a wide variety of feedstock, including vegetable oils, animal fats, algae, and therefore their composition varies greatly. Recent times, battle for renewable energy resources continues to attract attention. The global pollution scenario has resulted in looking for new, sustainable, less emission, bio-degradable fuels that are healthy for engine use. The fuel used in this analysis is Rice bran Methyl Ester (R.B.M.E) prepared from Rice bran oil extracted from Rice seed kernels. An experimental setup consisting of a variable load on engine is used to evaluate Rice bran Methyl Ester's (R.B.M.E) efficiency, combustion and emission analysis against the values obtained by using pure diesel oil at diverse loads. After performing the experiment it was concluded from the results that, relative to diesel at the same loads, a B-20 is optimal for using Rice bran Methyl ester in engine. The results obtained from this work gave a strong indication that the biofuel would easily replace conventional fuels of today based on their pollution-decreasing properties and enhanced combustion properties.
