Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of biodiesel as a petroleum diesel substitute. This paper presents the results of tests carried out on diesel engine run on biodiesel produced by transesterification of Karanja oil and its blends with petroleum diesel. Engine tests have been carried out with the aim of comparing emissions parameters such as CO, CO2¬, NOx, etc. For biodiesel mixtures CO emissions is lower than that of diesel fuel. As the amount of biodiesel in the blend increases, the amount of CO emission decreases. This variance is in the range of 8-10%. Blends up to B60 do not show any significant increase in the amount of CO¬2 i.e. only about 2% increase than that of diesel is observed. However, for B80 and B100 blends, 7% and 11% increase is observed respectively. This rise is observed due to more efficient combustion of fuel. The variation of NOx emissions for various blends with respect to load .The emissions increase for biodiesel than that of diesel. This increase is linear with the increase in biodiesel content in blend. Increase is 52-54% for B20 and B40, 60% for B60, 72% for B80 and 85% for B100. Considerable reduction in exhaust emissions, make blends of Karanja esterified oil a suitable alternative fuel for diesel engines without any engine modification and could help in facing the upcoming energy crisis and controlling air pollution.
