Abstract

As the fossil fuels are depleting and green house gases are increasing, the usage of biodiesel came into existence. Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel which can be produced from vegetable oils. Here the Performance and emissions characteristics of CI engine fueled with Vegetable oil methyl ester blended with diesel will investigated experimentally. Biodiesel will be prepared from Rapeseed oil by transesterification process with methanol in the presence of catalyst. Diesel and biodiesel blends will be get prepared in volume percentages of 25 upto 100% as B0,B25,..B100. The experimental study got conducted on single cylinder, 4 stroke, naturally aspirated, direct injection diesel engine at different engine loading from low to high loads using Rapeseed biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel.
